This. It was always about trying to solve the business problem. Writing code was just implementation detail.

It's about not polluting the context. AI doesn't need information about things that didn't work in the new requests' context.

That's interesting. I use those moments to show it what not to do. Does it not just repeat the mistakes?

Exactly my experience too.

I also heard "I see the issue now" so many times because it missed or misunderstood something very simple.

Same in chrome on Android. They work if I switch to Base UI tab and back.

Why would this be disturbing for SWEs? Writing syntax was never the end goal. It was just a core we couldn't without. It was always about the intent of the code.

I actually like hand-crafting code... Not physically typing out every single character per se, but wrangling the syntax.

I attribute that to the holidays. Many people finally had the time to goof around with these tools. At least that's how it happened to me.

It was an incredible experience. I implemented a few features quickly and in a much better way than I could otherwise. Realized how many tiny holes my app had and a few suboptimal patterns I was using. Made me worry about my career, initially, but after using for a while, I now see it as going up the chain of abstraction. Only thing I'm not doing is writing code by hand. Im still having to do everything else like thinking about architecture and the big picture, keeping it dry and maintainable, debugging, etc - but with a lot of help from LLMs. Sometimes it's 10x and sometimes you wasted sometime, you know, just like how using packages made us go up the chain.

AI is basically Leonard from Memento. Very capable. Knows how the world works broadly. Can't make new memories. Need context (tattoos, notes, and polaroids). Misunderstandings things.

Yes! A lot people can't tell the difference. It's just sad. Tells you how engaged people are with what they they watch.

I briefly feel bad for them but then I remind myself who am I to judge how they perceive things? It is possible that they get the same enjoyment from the story with all the effects and artifacts these TVs have. When I was a kid we had this smallish (probably 14-15") B/W TV set in my kitchen. Sometimes my whole family would watch a movie on that TV set and we were all absorbed into the movies, it didn't matter the TV set was small and colorless, back then I hadn't even seen a TV broadcast in colors. It's all relative I guess. Sometimes I think this soap opera effect is even worse than watching movies on that small TV set form my childhood but then again, who am I to judge?

Drives me insane when people say they can't tell the difference while watching with motion smoothing on. I feel for the filmmakers.

The soap opera effect drives me nuts. I just about can't watch something when it's on. It makes a multimillion dollar movie look like it was slapped together in an afternoon.
