Unfortunately Hacker News has turned way too much into AI bros. I still read read it, but have learned to skip any AI related posts because of this.
I do wonder how drive off these companies are going to dig themselves out of the hole they have dug and are digging with the overly verbose code…
Im not a programmer or anything but I also noticed hacker news losing touch. Everyone claimed ai was good at coding, nobody could ever give concrete examples, I guess the reason is the code is embarassing
I also wonder how much of it is simply paid propaganda by AI investors. As the top forum for software engineers and technologists, it’s the most likely place to promote and influence AI adoption for financial gain; to make all codebases tightly coupled and dependent on AI.
Nightmare comment section. Just comment upon comment of ‘what you’re describing isn’t true’ and ‘tell your agents to make fewer mistakes.’
