I think it could be read as the opposite. Could be read as: "We still have 6B people that could use a subscription"

I think I understand your point, and it certainly is true if you get in the right mindset with the right anectadata to back it up. But I feel it's leaving a lot on the table. Result oriented people are key to linking the technical with the real world. It's a bit of a wide statement to say that everyone who likes end result is impatient superficial or consumption driver.

I agree that there's a decent overlap here, and that your point stands. But there's a lot of merit in getting real products out there, vibe coded or not. Market forces then dictate value.

To be fair, I think you can't hand a role over to someone you just hired and walk away for a week. No matter how much of a SME they are. Let's not forget human onboarding takes months. With the advantage of their knowledge not going into the void multiple times a day. That's likely the last missing piece, a solid system of memories that produces the same effect as short/long term memories in a person.

This take may be frowned upon in HN, but I suspect it's much closer to the median sentiment.

Isn't it better just to tell them that instead of passive aggressively continuing the cycle? Granted, though, harder to navigate.

Even in the depths of corporate life, the last beacon of light was interacting with a person who may be similarly philosophically placed as you, sharing something. Artisanal home made slop may be more underrated that people think, its a proxy for human connection, which surprise surprise, is a big basis of life

Maybe AI should replace some people.

I find this to be my current number 1 challenge when working on a terminal and seeking explanations for why a problem was approached in that way. the terminal only holds so many lines at once. Let's not talk about current scrolling in terminals.

It's interesting that the LLM will oblige my succinctness requests for one or two replies then back to 7 paragraph answers that I can't reply to point by point in a TUI.

Very cool. Explored a lot of nodes, rekindled some old bands. I was wondering how this was vibe coded, since it was done so well, art wise. Then I read your post. This has such a different feel for whatever is usually made today, I really enjoyed it. Cheers

Your take is cynical, but sensible in a massive org with dysfunctional culture that jades and burns out engineers until they only care about their own personal gains and everything else is secondary. I think people project their values in situations that don't have place for them and get upset

That kind of captcha has a very short half life. Software ate the world now AI is eating software

Code gets stale really fast. Re-gathering context and re-aligning on old code is sometimes more painful than starting from scratch.
