Ai deploys itself to aws, saving GitHub but destroying Microsoft’s cloud business — full circle

"Whoever wins, we lose." - Poster for Aliens vs. Predator

This is why I come to hacker news. Sanity check on why my jobs are failing.

better luck with your next job :)

Exactly same reason why I posted. My Github Actions jobs were not being picked up.

Sorry, but hard to not have some negative sentiment about you working at xAI, Elon is so incredibly toxic.

Thanks for the article though.

So pointing out that the dude works for a morally corrupt billionaire gets you downvotes… we’ve got a draw the line somewhere folks. Working for the wealthiest person in the world who lacks an moral framework is morally wrong. You should be reminded of this op and hope you reflect on your complicity.

The sheer ignorance . To form such an opinion, with such confidence and literally the only grounding is a few women he/she has dated. We are living in an idiocracy.

And the sentence "What really stood out to me was how intelligent Venezuelans are"... no shit, Sherlock, people are intelligent, we're all one species, what did he expect?

He expected what commonly tweeted “IQ by race / country” memes say on X, which is to say they regurgitate old debunked scientific racism that is now popular once again due to confirmation bias.

Significant IQ differences DO exist across countries, with key factors being education, health & nutrition, socioeconomic status, environmental factors (more controversial), the Flynn effect.

Importantly: we have no way of knowing that, because there is no such thing as a country-by-country survey of mean or median IQ.

Unfortunately, Technological solutions are more politically feasible than attempting to reduce via restrictions and regulations that require intense global coordination that does not exist.

I do think Manus had a better approach than some of the competitors of the space, allowing for far more agentic flows (ie manus would run its own code, debug, write and run tests, etc). Lovable or v0 by contrast are quite primitive. Very unfortunate that they are a part of meta now, where mark will likely micromanage and destroy the core value of the product.

If this is the new way code is written then they are arguably learning how to code. Jury is still out though, but I think you are being a bit dismissive.

I wouldn't change definitions like that just because the technology changed, I'm talking about the ability to analyze control flow and logic, not necessarily put code on the screen. What I've seen from most vibe coders is that they don't fully understand what's going on. And I include myself, I tried it for a few months and the code was such garbage after a while that I scrapped it and redid it myself.

Absolutely not. They're not writing code or performing most of the work that programmers do, therefore they're not [working as] programmers. Their work ends up producing code, but they're not coders any more than my manager is.

A "vibecoder" is to a programmer what script kiddie is to a hacker.

I love how utterly insane this idea is. Sometimes thinking outside the box like this can yield results.

It reminds me of llm output at scale. Llms tend to produce a lot of similar but slightly different ideas in a codebase, when not properly guided.

Hahaha piercing through the llm infused haze.
