Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I appreciate the sentiment but I also hate the whole "AI is a power loom for coding".

The power loom for coding is called "git clone".

What "AI" (LLM) tools provide is just English as a programming language with plagiarized sum total of all open source as the standard library. English is a shit programming language. LLMs are shit at compiling it. Open source is awesome. Plagiarized open source is "meh" - you can not apply upstream patches.
