Yeah don't get anyone going on the labs different tokenization schemes lol

Check out reverb and see if there are any selling.

Not really. This seems like it's someone who told Claude to find the most popular system design Youtube and sort them into a simple React site :shrug:

So just because you couldn't get into it means everyone who's enjoying it is a poser? That's some pretty self-centered thinking right there.

No one should be judging you if it's not your thing. Those of us that enjoy it readily admit its faults and own the fact it's not a game for everyone.

Cool, always good to have more in the ecosystem. I love Iroh and hope this continues to succeed.

Heard a quote I liked today.

“In order to be effective working at any layer of abstraction you must have in-depth knowledge of the layer below where you’re at”.

To be the most effective at AI assisted engineering (if treated as an abstraction layer) you need to understand how code works, behaves, architectures etc. and what well performing, well built things look like. Doesn’t necessarily mean you have to know everything like you would pre-AI, but enough to be effective.

Not sure a personal attack against Jarred really helps the case for using Zig. He could have and should have focused on the language and not “a stinky manager”. Honestly, this makes me want to steer clear of Andrew as much as Jarred.

Reymont is quickly becoming infamous. He's got open PRs all over the place. Previously hit the frontpage here after showing up, _again_, on Zigs wall of shame for AI pull requests.

I think the point is how can you squeeze anything out of the AI without knowing the stuff at a deep enough level?

This reads even more like an angry teenager than my angsty high school diary. I'm not sure how many more strawmans and dismissive remarks I can handle in one article.

I can see that. Whether or not it's worth the time spent in setting it up is something I can't answer myself yet.

I think my biggest point further down is that you have to _already know_ that it's a bad idea - if you don't you can't instruct the agent to avoid it. What I see is so many more developers who just never get to that point now.

> For many people in this industry this became the default when Google and StackOverflow appeared. Is AI really so much different there if you look at the root cause? I feel AI is just another tool for quick answers without investing time in understanding the problem. That mentality is not new and has not changed in decades with previous knowledge bases. Sadly.

Excellent point :)

I'm aware it reads a bit like an angry old man yelling at the kids on his lawn, but I'm starting to get extremely frustrated with what I see and thought I'd write down some of the experiences.
