Regardless of all the concerns that others and I have, 'leaving it at work' is one positive I noticed as well. That is a good expression for that feeling.

When the models got good enough, and I accepted some projects can be managed without writing any code... Some weight lifted from my shoulders. If I wrote code in the past, it felt like I had to carry it in production and help with its maintenance. I would think about all the edge cases that could go wrong. Now, it is not that personal. I'm not a critical piece and that is okay, relieving even.

I'm happy I'm not valuable for technical questions (incomplete, ambiguous questions that would fill up the context of my brain just to understand the question). Writing code now is like writing an email, I can write a good enough email and close the day, others can pick it up. It has freed up a lot of mental capacity. Nobody had a good understanding of that kind of personal burden anyway. Now it is everyone's problem.

We forget how sometimes some coding tasks can be detrimental to some human's psychology. World is full of texture, different situations and experiences.

I agree that the vibe-coding definition is helpful.

Ideally, headcount can be seen this way: our company is giving many people the chance to do honest work and live dignified, meaningful lives. I think that should be a company's main social responsibility not superficial marketable stuff.

I like the post first explains just what happened in enough detail, then comes with conclusions. It is more helpful to me as a data point.

As the style, images seem weird at first, but they help conveying emotions, point of view. Somehow, they also help with attention for me.

As another commenter said, it seems that guardrails will be important. I believe, 'software is managing complexity' at the end of the day. The complexity and decision-among-options will continue to exist. They need to live and taken care of somewhere.

Thanks, I can't change the url now. Since it is just a gallery with minimal information, I forgot to submit translated url.

From the article: "The arm and hand reliefs on the T-shaped pillars found in and around Göbekli Tepe have long reinforced the idea that these stones symbolized humans. This new find at Karahan Tepe, the first to feature a human face carved into a T-shaped pillar, is considered a turning point in Neolithic research."

If you enjoy this kind of content, I recommend Myron Cook on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@myroncook/videos

Geological mysteries, pleasant scenery, and calm explanation. Great for listening in the evening.

Now I see the real value of games like Factorio. That kind of poison needs to go somewhere or it ends up in real life projects

Thanks for the comment, it triggerred a few thought experiments for me.

For example, if you focus on oral traditions you experiment and create more poems, songs, etc. If you focus on preserving food you discover jams, dried meat, etc.

Is it useful to focus on everything, or global optimal? Is it possible?

Also regarding competition and evolution, what stopped humans to get more capable brains? Is it just resource constraints, like not having enough calories(not having mini nuclear reactor with us)? Or are there other, more interesting causes?

I assumed the original developers might give free copies in the official discord

Thanks for the unexpected laugh at the end. Maybe there is a typo in that imaginary world: "Applestantinople". But maybe it is as intended :)

Interesting argument, so you think the non-white particles of each layer might accumulate while layers of ice melt
