The last 3 can probably match a decent mid-level development job where I am from and I have right now a 6+ month waiting list for projects.
Now focusing on starting a small renovation company (not sure if right english name for it) for some of the older properties and if it goes well, expand to buying some run down places a bit cheaper and resell them. (Had limited success with this before, but was subcontracting most of the work, now want to bring it in-house) (ps: not buy for 100k and sell for 500k, but something like buy for 100k, spend 40-60k and sell for 180k)
But because of that I can't fell like people really don't understand where we are going.
I have a conspiracy theory that even VCs are on it. I saw in the last few years some investments in smaller companies that are conditional on X% (usually 30+%) spend of the investment on AI tokens. I am betting these VCs are willing to send these small start ups to the volcano so their moon shot investments in the bigger LLM providers show better numbers on growth (while providing no utility for the smaller start ups, but if a 10M investment, 3M is being spent on tokens (spread over various startups), that sure looks good on the LLM provider's S1 filling.
I has this stupid same shit done in a PR just a few weeks ago. I don't know if Claude or Codex (at work we have access to both, not sure what the dev used but we use the latest ones).
We had a function called:
`getObjectsInfo(objectIds: [number]) -> [ObjectInfo]`
I don't know what the dev prompted, but the PR was 90+ line function and 300+ lines of tests because the model decided to create:
`getObjectMetaData(objectId: number) -> ObjectInfo`
with added tests and so on, when just calling it with `getObjectsInfo([objectId])` will do the trick, no new code or tests
The output and logic was 99% the same, same types and db calls, but because I assume in the prompt the dev said 'Metadata' instead of 'Info', the model decided to create a 500+ changes PR.
Think of the investments they may lose. We can't have any of that can we?
None of those news items, comments, news made you want to get away from this, but now that your YC buddy is the target and whatever else fuck is used to justify it? When ICE killed american citizens, school girls killed it was all 'we flagged this as flamewar and what now' but now because he is part of the cadre, NOW it is disgusting? I would laugh if this wasn't the fucking future we are at, just sucking to these assholes
So just ignore those points and flags. HN *used* to be a nice place for intelectual conversations, even if you disagreed with each other. Now is nothing more than bots, people with financial interests in this bubble or sycophants.
I'm pretty sure 'Who wants to be a millionaire' and the likes would work very differently if the contestants could search the internet for the answer.
