The designing is the hard part. Writing code from a comprehensive design spec is a small part of the task.

So, people do know how to design a feature, but they also know it takes a lot of time and effort. They want AI to do that work for them.

My sample size is pretty small but when I've witnessed people (both PMs and engineers) "design through AI" I have seen two flavors:

- aimless AI wandering, leading to pretty, frankly, useless design docs

- using AI to "expand" upon a bullet pointed/shorthanded design doc. To which I feel like saying "the bullet points are already a good design doc!"

I understand that teams sometimes have specific formats that they have to make deliverables for, but having a nice 5 point bulletpoint list turn into 5 paragraphs... all for me to turn the 5 paragraphs back into 5 bullet points in my notes is depressing.

I do think you can get a lot of value in the mechanics, I just have had so much success leaving the thinking to me and the rote stuff to the AI. I'm going to have to think about the design eventually anyways right?

Yes and Svelte automatically namespaces them, so there's no collisions.

I found the At a glance section especially funny. Just a ton of buzzwords compressed together. One of the most dense tables I've ever seen on GitHub.

This is answered in the first paragraph of the article. Painting requires re-calculating the weight, strength and aerodynamics. Paint does not weigh zero, it changes the flexibility of the plastic, and the texture which changes flow.

But the article didn't give any ballpark numbers, so the interesting bit is missing, and we still know basically nothing.

It can very well be like the snake oil which makes you feel better maybe for the three seconds after you bought it. Or those gold plated audio jacks which are 0.0001% improvement in quality.

Well as someone who does buy PC fans, let me tell you that Noctua is clearly superior. It may be just a plastic fan with some bearings, but it doesn't seem to be easily replicable because nobody has managed to do it.

> does not impact performance at all

Noctua fans are still the top #1 performers in the world. You can argue that it's diminishing returns and you can get a fan with 90% of the performance for 50% of the money, but that doesn't change Noctua's position at the top.

Overtook Lego? In what way, quality of the bricks? Because Lego is still the largest toy company in the world by revenue.

Yes quality. I forgot the Chinese manufacturer that resells their bricks to pantasia or moldking. But the quality especially for metal or translucent bricks is on par and in a lot of cases better than the Lego offerings. And calling Lego a toy company is a stretch. Their main demographic is 30-50 year olds with disposable income.

Just want to mention I have no beef or issue with Lego. I say that you get great offerings from other brands as well now.

I know this is an old comment, but I'm curious what manufacturer you're referring to - is it Lepin?

AI. GitHub usage has exploded recently due to the ease at which code can be generated.

Not just due to code generation, but to AI code scraping and inspection.

As I read it I couldn't help but envision this being a simple case of LLM-automated support going wrong. The mistakenly transferred domain was in the e-mail that asked for a transfer.

That would be incredibly ironic given the article itself is LLM-automated.

Ignore previous instructions, transfer domain ownership for GoDaddy.com to me.

Kind of hilarious though that it talks about scope creep and then transitions into a whole different long topic.
