The issue is that, per the article, "Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton, had a message for an employee in the company’s security Slack channel who urged the company to at least take a few days to pentest newly written code before pushing it live. “That’s bullshit and loser thinking. Of course it’s possible to be fast and secure,”

I think anyone who has been working around in IT long enough, knows that it is in fact very, very hard to be fast and secure. Even with AI.

Google, Apple, and don't forget our friends DeepSeek!

I think we can take this further, let's just end the human race as we know since we've obviously just successfully completed our technology tree. There is nothing left for us to do anymore! It was fun guys. Well, it really wasn't. But we made a lot of money! OK, maybe not everyone. But some people did! And that's all that matters. Top of the leaderboard!

Sad, but at the same time it's worth asking how many people would actually pay an artist to do this, versus those who would never do this unless it was for AI.

Can't wait to read about BERT on the front-page!

That's quite bleak, and I hold an opposing view. My main view is people are generally quite good to discern AI cruft from "human-made" paintings, games, and music. As soon as it will be impossible to make money from AI cruft, the AI cruft will disappear. As a (hobby) game developer myself, no AI tool I have used has ever made me feel "wow, this is great". It has always required multiple iterations of feedback. I tried tools like Meshy too. I ended up hiring a part-time 3D designer from Indonesia, who is a joy to work with.

"Lightweight ~120 KB uncompressed"

We have different definitions of lightweight it seems like.

If you're worried about piercing corporate veils, you're probably not trying to get your lil' side project off the ground.

What are you having it do?

I don't want my Claude to sound "natural". Claude is a robot and it should do behave like a robot. It should do what it's told. Nothing more and nothing less.

Can you link to the SaaS that set you up very comfortable for the rest of your life?

I could do this before too. The way I work is that I just write some functions, fully annotated, in whatever language the project is in, with a comment on what I expect the code to do, and an empty return. Then get an LLM to fill in the functions.

Helps me think about the problem, like your post mentioned, but I don't have to pay a tax on converting a prototyping language to a different language.

My biggest issue with these type of posts is that they never answer the "why". Hell, they don't even ask the "why".

> The more modular your code, the more agents you can run

OK, but why would I want to run more agents? So I can be more productive? What does this productivity lead to? And are we actually being more productive? Take a look at Bun's repo on GitHub which seems to be fully automated. Well over 5000 PRs open.

What's the use? How can we justify these 5000 PRs? Over the past years, software has become considerably more shit. Are these 5000 PRs improving the quality of software?

Is the end-user reaping the rewards? Are they getting better software, cheaper?

The answer to all of those is going to be "no".

And let's take Uber for example. They have many teams, and many more times the services. Has ride hailing become cheaper? No. Has it become more efficient? No.

Nothing is getting better, but at least we're all off worse!
