I don’t think it will automate our jobs. I think our jobs will change. Where it was once dominated by the IDE and implementation details, it will be dominated by agentic AI, scanning code outputs, and architectural planning. I think this will raise the bar for the average software product a lot. Kind of how increase in internet speed and the establishment of the web and JavaScript standards across browsers led to much more sophisticated, connected, and productive products.

I don't fully understand why programmers seem to be the ~only group of people not angry that their jobs are being automated.

@DanielGlejzner I feel this in my soul.

Holy… feels like I’m not alone in this

So true

@forgebitz It’s time to reevaluate all those UX and DX improvements we wanted but couldn’t justify due to time and effort. Now those things require significantly less resources and may be viable.

"ai will take your job" no, but the work you are used to will be gone all the easy work will be automated lift and coast jobs are over

@Itsfoss That said, Ubuntu is still the most popular desktop distro in the world by a pretty wide margin. It has more users than haters.

Because many Linux users like to live on the fringe and Ubuntu became too popular for their taste. It’s part of their personality. Once you recognize it, you see evidence of this trait in many ways. They hold a lot of fringe opinions, they often reject societal norms, they have more niche interests, etc. They usually tried Linux and endorsed it _because_ it was fringe, different, not because they had a specific use case. Ubuntu used to be fringe enough. It’s not anymore so they moved on and now they hate on it. These fringe chasers can be frustrating to deal with and even toxic, but they also often forge new paths and create new options from which many others can benefit. Watch these kind of people through this lens and so many of their daily decisions and interactions make so much more sense.

How come Ubuntu became the most hated distro in the desktop Linux community?

@powerhdeleon Creo que simplemente los frameworks de JavaScript no están ganando la atención como antes.

De las mejores cosas que han pasado con la llegada de la IA generativa es que ya no salen nuevos Frameworks de JavaScript cada semana.

This was simply a description of what happened. I didn’t draw a conclusion or attempt to establish a correlation. If one could draw a conclusion from this, it’s that Fable consumes far more tokens than Sonnet 5, which is common knowledge. Just feels more significant in anecdotal form.

@KylerJohnsonDev Not disputing your conclusion but I don't get the utility of wallclock time as a relevant metric for quality or even quantity of software that an agent built.

I spent 8 hours building things with Claude Sonnet 5 and only used around 2% of my token allowance. Had fun, built several fun things. I just spent 35 minutes using Fable 5 to build two features (across the stack) and used 31% of my token allowance. This includes using RTK to reduce token consumption.

Ya know that conversation of nice-to-haves that would be great for users or the refactors that would be great for engineering, but weren’t worth the investment of time and resources required to do them? We’re busy reassessing those because the required investment has changed dramatically. It’s allowing us not just to provide what the user needs, but so much more to make their experience great. Same thing for DX.

i seriously want to know how devs who have a job fulfill their 9-5 time when they are getting a week of tasks done in one day 9-5 doesnt make sense anymore. should be mon-thu, 5hr work day max. dafuq u doin all day???

A substantial portion of AI token expenditure HAS to be going to building language learning apps. There are thousands of them now. Literally. It’s insane. Every day a new one comes online.

@alediaferia Building software has always been far less expensive than maintaining it. That hasn’t changed with AI. Tech debt is anything that makes working on the app more expensive or time-consuming than it should be.

Hot take: tech debt is the gap between an aspirational set of non-functionals and what your software really needs. The golden architecture you had in mind before releasing might not ever be needed

@SantoshYadavDev Achievement unlocked!

Someone at the meetup asked my daughter if she is my sister 😂

@sarah_edo This is really cool. I’ve been following you since your early Vue days. The amount of information and inspiration you’ve provided over the years is staggering. Your presence online represents the greatest aspect of the internet: community.

I made this for me. I made this for you. I've been adjusting it to my own needs for years, and I suspect it'll never really be "done", and that's my favorite part. It's free! Feature requests and bugs welcome. @ me here and I'll do my best to get back to you ❤️

🎉 After two years of building it off and on, my little side project app is done: Habik: Life Manager! The premise is that you can do hard things. You break them down, and take them one day at a time. Habik takes the guesswork (and the self-negotiation) out of what to do today.

This was kind of expected after they announced $20 billion in bonds, spooking investors. They had already shook investor confidence with the Cursor purchase anyway. This is likely part of SpaceX’s long-term strategy. Taking in massive debt now li js in capital needed to dominate the next generation of AI and space infrastructure before competitors catch up. It’s a bet, but one they’re poised to win in the AI meets Space Segway. Because it’s a private company, it does t have to answer to public market shareholders every quarter. It can kind of absorb short-term valuation hits like this for massive long-term payoffs. Also, capital intensive industries (like space) has historically burned billions before achieving lucrative details so front-loading capital as they’ve done us important. SpaceX will be fine.

Ohh wow spaceX share is nosediving today 😂

@webdevcody What if typing the command to do what I want is significantly less typing than the prompt to generate the command? This happens to me a lot.

at this point there isn't a single terminal command you should be typing by hand

@miles_builds @itsjustcornbro @ThePrimeagen @pmarca I want to adopt that mindset, but if what I write is dismissed as AI generated text, what’s the point in writing it?

@KylerJohnsonDev @itsjustcornbro @ThePrimeagen @pmarca LLMs were trained on high quality writing, which should surprise no one. Don’t let them stop you, AI is imitating you because you’re the blueprint.

Frameworks still matter. Technology and architecture choices still matter. AI is okay at generating code in the sense that it often works as expected. The architecture and code quality may not always be very good, though. That’s important because AI is not as good at changing existing code as it is generating new code. The more complex it is, the more difficult or impossible it is to get AI to change it in a way that produces the desired effect - not to mention the staggering increase in token consumption. The better you and your team know the tech, the better you all can direct AI and ensure the code generated is decent enough that the team can continue to leverage AI to make changes. Maintaining software is far more expensive than building it. That has always been true and still is even in the AI era. The better the code quality, the less maintenance is going to cost. Build wisely.

@KimMaida Kim! Great to see your posts again. Sorry to hear about Fawkes. That’s tough. Rigel and Sylvie are two good looking puppers! Still enjoy seeing your posts about the cool things you make. Hope you are doing well!

Hello, it’s nice to see you all again

I had a second major in college in English Literature. I wrote so many papers thinking about it makes my head spin. But I liked to use the em dash a lot and that habit stuck. Now everyone thinks my responses are just AI generated. It’s pretty lame. So I guess I’m going to have to stop using the em dash…

@ThePrimeagen @pmarca missing an em-dash
