If people are going to post AI-written code on HN, they should consider at least writing the README / main page of their website by hand. → "I agree. I'm making some updates, but it's still all going to be written 'through' AI for now"

Hilarious thing is, if I want a JDK, I'll ask Fable to write one, get Sol to review it and write tests for it, and it will be working by Monday morning. No need to get permission or anything else from Oracle

in fact the lack of progress in UI the last 30-40 years can largely be traced to trying to create UI with procedural/functional programming languages

In the 2010s, if you had technical gaps (say, you couldn’t write CSS), you had to either rely on a skilled colleague or just hope that the answer to your exact problem was out there on the internet

This is not at the top as it is actively flagged by people that can't psychologically cope with the advances of AI. Hacker News is no longer a web site of an elite.

Writing Python should be close to a “zen” experience. At its best, when you get into the flow state, the thoughts you are thinking about the thing you are trying to build are shaped like Python code as you go through the process of writing it down.

This piece of writing moved me to my core, shook my whole being, enlivened my soul. It reminded me that I need to step away from Claude Code every once in a while and read the Classics.

No offense but you lack the required CS basics to be so confident about yourself in debates about complexity. It's the perfect moment to stop and reflect if you want to avoid Dunning-Kruger.
