I sometimes wonder if these same people pushing AI onto devs would ask the same of their lawyers and accountants.

If someone hasn't gotten the memo yet, writing code got that serious at least a decade ago when web ate the world and chrome had won the web. Probably even earlier for certain industries like financial institutions.

This isn't just about "human imperfections" or something else sentimental. It's the fact that quality really does matter in a huge number of situations and the consequences are not forgiving in the slightest.

I'm going to design an AI agent to preview Hacker News posts so that I don't have to sift through smug, self-righteous posts like this to get to actual, thoughtful dialog on technology.

I'm so sick and tired of the endless slaps on the wrist because I choose to live my life in a way that the author would not prefer.

I really dislike the condescending tone of the person who thinks they discovered the secret of happiness, but instead of distilling their wisdom for joy chooses to shame others in a passive aggressive poem.

Sure, buddy, you know how to live a meaningful life, then why are you trolling the internet?

Exactly. I have children too you know. In fact we had a blast last time with my five year old shouting nonsense at Suno and having it make some cool songs out of it. Does it make me less human? It’s all about how you choose to use the technology

I know sarcasm can be missed in writing, but I find it hard to give you the benefit of the doubt on this one.

They wouldn't have quoted the first "because..." and used the opening, "Yes, " if they were participating in the joke with the author.

I asked Claude what he thinks about this blog post and was surprised by the level of self awareness (you cant call it like that but I dont have better word)
