I have yet to see an “idk why I was banned” that wasn’t either blatant bad-faith engagement or flat out lying about the event. I don’t think that actually happens very often at all.

But even then it’s astronomically unlikely to be retroactively enforced

It’s not unlikely, it’s literally impossible.

Did plex do something again

I’m sorry, but, without commas, this is just a mess, and I’m not going to torture myself into reading it.

That’s not at all how our financial system works

Yeah, because we’ve clearly shown that naturalization matters at all

Imagine hating your own body this much

Isn’t he pretty resoundingly useless? At least D has a cult of personality, Eric literally has nothing.

Anyone using basic HTML elements from the first HTML spec would still be supported in 99+% of cases today. HTML has added lots, and removed very, very, very little.

I think everyone can agree the no-html club is insane. Why not just a reduced version, so you can actually do stuff like links?

I literally don’t write code anymore, I write detailed specs, invest a lot of time into my guardrails and integrations, and review changes from my agents. My code quality has not fallen, in fact we’ve been able to be much more strict about our style guidelines.

My job has changed completely, but the results are the same - simply much, much faster. And to be clear, this is in code bases that are hundreds of thousands of lines deep, across multiple massive monorepos, and using context from several different documentation sites - both internal and external.

If anything, people are understating the effects this will have over the next year, let alone further. The entry-level IC dev is dead. If you aren’t producing at least twice as fast as you used to, you’re going to be left behind. I cannot possibly suggest strongly enough that you start learning how to use it.

Damn, you’re awfully hateful

My productivity has at least tripled since I started using Cursor. People are actually underestimating the effects that AI will have in the industry

Er… Hong Kong?

I have two kids and still game probably 3-4 nights/week, it’s just much shorter sessions. I’m not pulling full gaming days on the weekends anymore, I’m playing for an hour or so before bed.

I find that most people who say there isn’t enough time for gaming simply choose things like watching TV instead 🤷‍♂️ which is fine, to be clear, but it’s a choice

Millennials are ~30-45 now, and we pretty much invented text abbreviations like that 🤷‍♂️

That. The content of the screenshot you posted. That is what’s going on.

You can have friends that are also coworkers, but you cannot have coworkers that are also friends - the “primary” relationship is important, IMO. If the primary reason we’re interacting is that we work together, there’s obviously no reason we can’t be friendly but we are not actually friends.

If your coworker is a coworker first and a friend second, why wouldn’t you pick a raise over them? Why wouldn’t you pick a promotion over them? Why wouldn’t you rather them out for something that negatively affects your job? At that point, it’s just a subjective scale for what you would do for the job and what might screw over your coworker.

It’s genuinely useful if you know how to use it 🤷‍♂️

More importantly, it’s the first real society-level paradigm shift since the internet, really, and provides the most effective platform for the rich to suck even more of the wealth up to the top of the system. They haven’t seen returns like this since the dotcom bubble.

You’re underestimating:

1. The speed of progress of the current generation of AI
2. The number of jobs that AI can already replace.
3. Just how many fuckin’ people are forklift drivers or cashiers
4. The will of your employers to be rid of annoying, needy employees

You’re overestimating:

1. The actual productivity of most people
2. Your actual worth to your company
3. How much company leaders understand about AI outside of “I can cut headcount by a lot”

I think the part that most people miss is that it’s not about being a 1:1 replacement. With proper use of the AI tools we have now, it’s not at all unexpected for one person to be able to do the job of many by overseeing the running and output of AI agents. AI isn’t going to replace whole industries (yet), but it is absolutely going to replace half of the members of a lot of teams.
