I learned in Brazil. Here in the California I asked my son's kindergarten teacher if she would teach cursive, and she said they don't teach calligraphy and I've never seen it described this way, but she's right.
Reporting on percentage of AI generated lines of code is very different from total lines of code. Yes I know both of them are missing what's the value delivered, but the later assumes the value is the number of lines, while the former assumes value is at least the same but delivered faster.
I know it has the same functionality, but it also looks like the Codex app which looks like Cursor Agents! Are they sharing some VS Code primitive here?
Same for me. I applied for engineering manager. Was told it was going to be a code review. I found a bunch of things that it could be improved, detected a very slow part / quadratic loop, but couldn't come up with the best algo to use. It was just leetcode in disguise.
I am getting so confused when to use what... agents, sub-agents, tasks, team mates, /goal, /loop, and now workflow. Each with different degrees of effort.
Don't make me think.
All these knobs are also exposed in ChatGPT, which I am more familiar when chatting. Which one of the models? Do I go Instant, Thinking, Pro? Extended Pro? Oh no, maybe I need Deep Research.
Sometimes I think it's on purpose. I fear if I try a lowest knob, it will miss something. So turn everything up. And token usage goes up.
i think it is on purpose, but not for the cynical reason of burning more tokens. developers like knobs, it helps us feel like we're in control. even when we're not.
so the ai companies give us knobs and buttons and sliders to make us more comfortable.
Claude doesn't have product management. I don't think they even have QA. There are such glaring UX issues that have persisted for months that I genuinely don't think they use their own product - there is no other explanation.
Dead Internet Theory and all. There is no going back. I don't think an online space can be designed to be safe from this. The AI agents can fully control our computers. All solutions that involve technology (software or hardware) are or will be flawed.
If I steal your luggage, do you expect to be paid to get it or that I return to you?
Waymo should have white-gloved this and sent Larry Page himself to deliver the luggage. This is horrible PR. Airlines will send you their luggage if misplaced. One day Waymo will drive-off with your toddler and ask you to file for adoption if you want them back.
That's because airlines often have their own cargo/courier service which they can easily use for delivery; and everyone knows that even those lose packages at a nonzero rate.

Your failed attempt at outrage sensationalism didn't help your argument.
