whoever believes the jobs report coming out of this administration is a complete fool.

Is this an actual problem? Takes minutes for an AI to explore and document a codebase. Sounds like a non problem.

Is that documentation useful? I haven't seen a well-documented codebase by AI so far.

To be fair - humans also fail at that. Just look at the GTK documentation as an example. When you point that out, ebassi may ignore you because criticism is unwanted; and the documentation will never improve, meaning they don't want new developers.


I've been coding for 40 years (23 years at an S&P500) and these coding agents write better documentation than I've ever seen from my peers. You just need to work with it and not expect it to do 100% of the work in one shot.

Yes, exactly my point as well. It cuts both ways.

honestly this blog post was pretty off base. Current AIs have a limited ability to keep up with complexity and using known frameworks helps with managing that complexity. If you need to write everything from scratch every time you have to go through the process of scaffolding and harnessing the whole system from scratch. I don't think it's worth rewriting react from scratch every time you make a browser application, even in the best case it's just a huge waste of tokens.

It's far from simple

do you know all the spells you're looking for from memory?

You could just, you know, Google the list.

and then the first thing you see will be at least one of ITS AI responses, whether you liked it or not

I think openclaw is proving that the use case while promising is very much too early and nobody can ship a system like that that works the way a consumer expects it to work.

truly awful craftsmanship, I love it!

wow this is one of the most incredibly fraudulent things that ever happened in American capitalism and I'm not ignoring Enron or the mortgage meltdown. I'm speechless the US has given up on any semblance of law and order in matter of financial markets and this stuff can happen without people going to jail.

that's EXACTLY how I taught myself to speak with a Spanish accent from Madrid. I repeated the way tv celebrities and the speakers on the metro announced the stations, and it gave me a base for how to use my mouth and throat appropriately. After a while I was able to tone it down and my accent got so good that locals couldn't tell I wasn't spanish - I had this cool party trick pulling out my id and showing them I was truly a foreigner!

I can't seem to be able to see any posts, are we ddosing it?
