Define developer in the age of LLMs

Thanks. I needed to hear this. So many things in life can turn out differently if we can overcome our “lack of self-confidence and a desire to be loved”. It’s never too late!

Based on current capabilities, I'm skeptical as well. However, over time, I do think they will get better at understanding our intent. Also, I would be more forgiving of an app I vibe coded in this manner, that's only meant to be used by me. Of course that assumes appropriate security guardrails are in place.

I'm excited about generating UIs (and apps) on demand, because it's one step closer to devices just morphing to the interface you need. I want to talk to my phone and have it generate the app or interface I need. I could see Android adapting to this reality well before Apple.

I use pi + cheaper models like the GPT Luna family, for loop engineering

Everyone and their mother are vibe coding their own solutions like this, all the time.

Memory is not just a matter of retrieval, it's also a matter of knowing what to retrieve and when.

Can we even define AI before getting into this debate?

Also the first voice of KARR from Knight Rider.

How about build whatever interface makes sense for the user? Doesn't matter if it's a TUI, GUI, speech interface, or some physically actuated / haptic feedback based system. Do what makes intuitive sense to the user and provides enough expressive power to get their job done without overwhelming them.

An agent will read your comment and take it as a challenge to show something can go wrong. Thanks for prompt injecting, mate. /s

This will have significant consequences for the military.

This is beautiful, I can't deny that. But the claim that Claude Code is a fixed set of tools is quite wrong. Claude Code regularly generates new code to carry out tasks, and you can choose to promote those tasks to skills, workflows, etc.

Much of the world believed in geocentrism for a very long time, yet we've known better for a long time now. Currently, this "Ptolemaic" idea of human intelligence being the center of everything sounds similar. What if human intelligence is not at the center? What if other forms, such as AI, emerge as the new "center"?
