> But for startups, side-hustles, VC-pitches and the inner-workings of companies and so on (HN crowd) coding was never the problem.

I'd say you're 180° wrong. Getting to an MVP fast is the most immediate problem when you've started a startup. Iterating on ideas fast is the most immediate problem once you've released your MVP. You need an MVP to get users, and you need to to iterate to find product-market fit. Perfectly crafted code is a luxury problem you can't afford in the early stages.


This isn't in defense of perfectly crafted code. It's about NO CODE. Do not write (ai-moar) code! It's not the code that is the problem.

I understand the need for MVP to bring an idea into reality. It's the feedback that's valuable not the code. This is not about the code. So why is the argument "write more code"?

In any case, I have yet to create a product on my own that has done well financially. So what the hell do I know. If you have, then I should probably listen to you. But I have worked on teams for successful companies and in my career, the best advice I can give to an engineer is that your code matters, do a good job and care about what you make; also it's not about the code.


> So why is the argument "write more code"?

It isn't, that's what you injected. The argument was "write [the same amount of] code faster". And that is undoubtedly a good thing, because execution speed can make or break your startup.


I agree with that.

Tell them to use the Composer 1.5 model. It's really good, better than Sonnet, and has much higher usage limits. I use it for almost all of my daily work, don't have to worry about hitting the limit of my 60$ plan, and only occasionally switch to Opus 4.6 for planning a particularly complex task.

"Expensive and painful body modifications"? Like, what, earrings? What a sacrifice.

I mean MAGA styke plastic surgeries there: botox, lip augmentation, jaw contouring, microneedling, facials, chemical peels and so on.

Body modification like that is a status symbol amoung republican women. Both high level women around Trump and in normal level republican areas with serious plastic surgeries industries.


Thanks for the correction. I wasn't aware of this, but it makes sense now that you mention it.

I DDGed for mar a lago look and first hit was a Wikipedia page. I was not expecting that lengthy of a page.

> One could argue that LLMs learning programming languages made for humans (i.e. most of them) is using the wrong interface as well.

Then go ahead and make an argument. "Why not do X?" is not an argument, it's a suggestion.


"Finished conversion of xyz.mp3 to xyz.ogg" is valuable progress information to a regular user, not just to developers, so it belongs in INFO, not DEBUG.


I suppose this is subjective, but I disagree. If I want to know the status of each item, I’d pass -v to the command. A simple summary at the end is sufficient; if I pass -q, I expect it to print nothing, only issuing a return code.


> If I want to know the status of each item, I’d pass -v to the command.

I don't disagree. In my opinion, the default log level for CLI applications should be WARN, showing errors and warnings. -q should turn this OFF (alternatively, -q for ERROR, and -qq for OFF), -v means INFO, -vv DEBUG, -vvv TRACE. For servers and daemons, the default should probably be INFO, but that's debatable.


Those are the "sources" you chose to prove your claim? Is this supposed to be a parody?


> Having a place you can legally install panels is for the upper class. Do you own a house?

Owning a house does not require belonging to the "upper class" in Europe.


> Middle class in Europe can't afford a single family home.

At least for Germany, this statement is directly contradicted by visible evidence. I'm surrounded by middle class families owning single homes.


They own it or the bank owns it?


For the purposes of installing solar panels, does it matter?


> this aged like shit

Your comment was chemically and biologically decomposed by microorganisms and fungi, which extracted energy from it and returned the remaining nutrients to the surrounding soil, providing a fertile ground for the growth of plants?


No idea what you're going on about. Those in the West who stand for a rules-based international order certainly didn't ask for this war, and Trump, who did start this war, never gave a shit about rules or norms, international or otherwise.
