Yes. I bet it was really fun debugging punch card computers.

Also, skills can be re-acquired, if needed. People are acting like it's the end of the world for them, like their knowledge will become impossible to understand anymore. I'm not as fast at solving equations as I was in high school, but I still understand the logic behind it.

We will adapt just fine, like we did before.

Counterpoint: trying to use Opus 5.5 to generate game design ideas, and it still sucks so much. It is always trying to see steer me into taking definitive decisions, while I'm trying just to explore the design space and compare various ideas against each other. Muddled, incoherent text, and not following my instructions make the process infuriating, and not very useful.

Not worth reading. A lot of whining about ChatGPT and lazy Oxford students, not enough substance, only "wisdoms" like "But mirrors can be dangerous if we stay for too long too charmed by our own reflection".

Not OP, but I read it as: it will be similar to chess players using computers to enhance their play [1].

> Architectural decisions were not questioned, as long as they aligned with the goal.

Yes, that's the main problem I'm having with agentic workflows. Sometimes you don't care about architecture of something if it just works, but more complex stuff can't work well without good architecture. And currently it seems that there is still no substitute for good human taste.

Exactly. It's the app that is being treated like a patient.

> public figures can be bullied and harassed

But he's not being bullied and being harassed. He's a public figure and he has fuck you money. If he doesn't like people making jokes about him, he can simply shut up, disappear from public space and live comfortable life without ever working again.

Search "punching down vs punching up in comedy" and you'll understand why it's not bullying.

Did they finally implemented Last.fm integration and sleep timer?

> Steam for some reason

Currently probably because of Valve's work on Proton, and before because Steam just worked and didn't seem to exploit players.

What a coincidence, John Oliver just talked about this company [1]

From my experience every (senior) developer with enough tokens always finds useful stuff to do. Some variation of Jevons paradox.

Yes, I had really cheap Windows Phone, and prior to Windows 10 Mobile, Windows were super fast and the phone was really fun to use. After Win 10 release, it become unusable - slow, rendering issues, etc.

Don't read it then. Why waste enrgy on complaining?

> how hard would it have been really to type these two sentences by hand, in your own natural voice

On the other hand, do we have to complain about every seemingly AI written text?

> People have been working on huge code bases without types for a VERY long time with no issue

People have been successfully writing assembly, your argument is useless.

> You really should just not assume things about people with no reason other than "they dont like the things i like

That's not the reason for my comment. I truly don't understand how after so many years someone "isn't sold" on TypeScript. Sure, you don't have to use it if you don't want to, but if don't see how it's truly essential in current JS development, I don't know what else to assume, other than OP doesn't have enough experience.

> it was created by microsoft

It was created at Microsft, but it was crated by Anders Hejlsberg who, I'm pretty sure, didn't want to just "create a safehaven to C# and java devs", he was actually solving real problems with JS development, completely orthogonal. You can argue that TS's first syntax was very C/C# inspired, and that Anders also created C#, but that's not what OP meant (or at least how it read).

> I am still of the opinion that well organized and named JS is all that anyone needs

You probably didn't work on any medium or large codebase and didn't have to do a refactor.

> it has always just felt like a maneuver to create a safehaven to C# and java devs scrambling to find roles in the modern landscape

What a nonsense. Perhaps read history of TypeScript and you'll learn why it was created.

"Across 660 trials with Claude Code, code cleanliness does not change the agent's pass rate. However, it substantially alters the agent's operational footprint: agents working on cleaner code use 7 to 8% fewer tokens and reduce file revisitations by 34%. Our findings suggest that traditional maintainability principles remain highly relevant in the era of AI-driven development [...]"

Probably because TypeScript is too important to leave it purely to AI. The gall to question Anders Hejlsberg :D

I'm looking not only for better build times, but for lower memory usage - running few LSPs on a large TypeScript codebases currently takes a lot of RAM.

For me, the main thing I love about Tailwind is that I don't have to create ad-hoc class names. No more BEM.

Almost accurate, but it's »Almost accurate. It's not "the route", but "a route".«.

That's only problem in the USA. Other western democracies are able to have snap elections done in two months.

You mean his luck and other people's actual skills, right?

Nate Silver concurs and has some data on it [1].

> Look at the typical React dev. They have zero leverage and can be replaced by vibe coding kiddies straight out of school or sourced from literally any company on earth.

Good luck maintaining such code. As we know from constant whining here on HN ("Hooks are too complicated..." "I don't understand useEffect"), React's model feels slightly more complex than other frameworks' models.

I can even argue that the more popular React is, the more React developers are needed.
