Ai native is only a term for the present moment. There is still skill in using ai. We are fast approaching where you ask the ai, and it does the task, there is no wrangling it

Yeah this website is almost unreadable

As the model gets smarter, you need to tell it less

It goes the opposite way too. Small models need minimal harness like pi or they get overwhelmed by long system message and tool descriptions

As the black box gets bigger, you need to stop expressing yourself even more.

Perhaps, but then the value of each thing you tell it goes to.

No not really, it’s able to fill it more gaps for sure but the way it fills them is totally random and almost always not what you want it to do

likely they sold all the gpu capacity to enterprise clients

its the opposite, i can build far more and get stuck much less

There are things I’ve made that I wouldn’t have made without AI. But I don’t feel like it’s “nerding out” or “tinkering”. I get the end result, but I don’t learn anything or become more capable in the process. As a result, I get very little satisfaction from it.

you just have to take the software to a higher level of abstraction... software that builds software. its different, but the tinkering is very much there, its just a massive paradigm shift

I think Java took all the best features of kotlin

I think Java explicitly refused to take some of the best features of Kotlin, like extension methods, context parameters and operator overloading.

but still has all the historic bad decisions of itself

Many of those are getting addressed. Value types are in the works, generics specialization for primitives, and even type classes.

Right, but doesn't take away from the fact that Java maintains backwards compatibility and so all these legacy decisions will generally forever exist.

When you’ll have tons of low skilled devs contributing to an important but boring application that will last a while

theres also a decent chance that AWS itself is vulnerable to AI agents that dont need complicated cloud platforms the way humans do

some ivy league grad with no real world dev experience waved this on


Once Chinese ai can run on 50k priced GPUs and match current models, people will have these running from bunkers. There’s no stopping it
