Great, now do the HASVIK sliding doors mount on a PAX, please. Joke aside, however good a manual is, reality is imperfect. Assembly often requires a bit of improvisation that can't be learned online.

Wow, well done! Please share your strategy.

> but for personal projects that aren't shared, being able to vibe code a quick thingy

I'm doing exactly that right now. Vibe-coding a small MacOS app that I had for years. I bought it and all, but it never had all the features I needed, and it has stuff I never ever used. So, I wrote a spec, made screenshots and let the agent do its thing. It's coming out great, I will be using this thing daily. The plus for me is that I didn't need to learn/code a UI framework, wire up UI components, etc., which is knowledge that I honestly would have little need of in my daily job.

Exactly right. Many never check the release notes of those libs on bump either. To this add copy & paste from Stack Overflow we used to do. People are just afraid of losing their jobs now, so naturally we all got defensive.

It’s actually very addicting once you play a couple of sessions. The scoreboard is crazy. Still don’t know how anyone makes it past wave (layer) 35-37.

Not all mistakes are code, a lot are feature design mistakes, and if SWEs would always be responsible about PM mistakes, then why not use Claude anyway?

Stephen Wolfram also looks favorable to using AI in programming and he has been programming a lot. I guess the context of how these tool are used is the important part here.

That's a bit of a straw man argument there. I'm actually in the "live and raise a family" group and if you believe this requires "no ambition" of any kind, I have to disagree with you at 100%.

> LLM AI will likely have a much greater negative impact on education.

To those that don't want to learn anyway. The rest will be just fine, if not better.

More like retaliate HOW? Like I’ll care if Microsoft or Amazon services become more expensive in Europe. That’d actually be great for Europeans.

There‘s hardly anything to talk about, since most of those anti-AI people use LLMs anyway. It‘s hypocrisy at best. If only that energy could be channeled in doing more about open-weight models-we need more AI-ownership, not less AI. That LLMs will somehow magically disappear should Anthropic or OpenAI go bust, is nothing but wishful thinking.

All our products and tools around them are built by using Gradle, for more than a decade now. We have no Android and no Kotlin-only projects. I would never switch it for Maven. In fact, I don't remember the last time I used Maven for a Java project. But I guess everyone has their preference.

> Maybe someone would have reached out

A recruiter on LinkedIn once reached out to me and sent me to an interview about a Java position. They interviewed me about JavaScript instead. I haven't used LinkedIn to find a job since then.
