Wow, the lack of self-awareness on the part of the writer of this is stunning. To say "I don't go out of my way to dunk on people who use LLMs", and then write a multipage blog post doing exactly that is fascinating.
You do you, and I'll do me. Perhaps spend more time coding which you say you like to do and less time sneering at people who use different tools.
The author mocks LLM enthusiasts, because they "dunk" on him. While writing an blog post that "dunks" on LLM enthusiasts. Total lack of awareness. If they had taken the time to read their blog before posting it, they might have avoided embarrassment.
What embarrassment? This post, like plenty of Evelyn’s writing, reached the front page of HN and has a ton of commentary in agreement. Your comment, on the other hand, was downvoted to the bottom of the thread.
The author also draws and publishes what is, in their own words, “pretty weird porn”.
You should voice your disagreement with the contents of the post and explain what they are, if that is what you’re feeling. Discussion is what HN is for. But to believe the author is or should be suffering any kind of embarrassment about this post is detached from reality.
That is exactly what I did. My comment is exactly about the content. Did you actually read the blog post? I don't know why you are bringing up what the author draws. That irrelevant to the conversation.
You do you, and I'll do me. Perhaps spend more time coding which you say you like to do and less time sneering at people who use different tools.
