The idea of being able to “steal” ideas is absolutely silly.

Yeah we’ve got a legal system for it, but it always has been and always will be silly.

That's not at all what's being discussed in this article. We copy-pasted from SO before this. This article is talking about 99% fully autonomous coding with agents, not copy-pasting 400 times from a chat bot.

What LLM were you using to build full applications in 2023? That certainly wasn’t my experience.

This 1000x!

I had a bit of an identity crisis with AI first landed and started producing good code. “If I’m not the man who can type quickly, accurately, and build working programs… WHO AM I?”

But as you pointed out, I quickly realized I was never that guy. I was the guy who made problems go away, usually with code.

Now I can make so many problems go away, it feels like cheating. As it turns out, writing code isn’t super useful. It’s the application of the code, the judgement of which problems to solve and how to solve them, that truly mattered.

And that sparks a LOT of joy.

This is deceptively difficult but profoundly powerful. The Getting Things Done methodology also talks about natural project planning like this.

But small doesn’t mean “no thought required”. It requires mental power to distill larger projects (or goals) into small steps.

My mistake, for a long time, was thinking that breaking it down into smaller steps was less brainpower.

Better clarity, but also more upfront mental energy to distill what the next physical action to be done was.

I always find it fascinating when science catches up to the Bible.

The Bible clearly articulates some form of generational “pass-through” for the sins of the father passing to the children.

While I do think it largely refers to a spiritual judgement, it’s hard to ignore the real-world examples of abuse that always seem to repeat themselves without a huge effort on the part of, someone, usually the child after they’ve grown up, to break the cycle.

Couldn’t read the article (ad blockers just decided the whole site is an ad, perhaps?)

But I agree. I (foolishly) spent money on an Xbox last year only to find bugs that would make the Windows operating system weep. My kids have to ask me CONSTANTLY to update things, re-install game, or even just troubleshoot a damn controller not working.

Compare that to Steam, where I can just add them to my family and give them access to a huge number of split-screen compatible games across my entire catalog. It just doesn’t make financial sense to keep supporting Microsoft’s enshittification of everything.

My condolences for building something cool to share with the world, just to have HN folks commenting on it.

The purpose and utility of this seem obvious to me, but I can already see the stream of typical HN responses coming in.

Godspeed.

Explain like I’m stupid: what is the most gracious interpretation of redaction when releasing files like this?

Why should anyone involved retain any anonymity?

I’m asking in good faith because naively it seems like this should not even exist. All of it should be exposed.

EDIT: I did not think about the innocent folks that might be caught in the crossfire. That checks out. Thanks everyone!

The guy that started Rails wants to keep giving the keynote.

I’m having a hard time seeing the crime against humanity here.

I have not yet had an IDE-based agent give anything close to the CLI Claude Code experience.

So until it manages to do that, I’ll keep being bullish on what works.
