Home prices differ a huge amount by the income of the people in the area

This is a meaningless statistic with zero nuance. Average is also the wrong thing to look at

My suspicion is DHH is intentionally creating controversy to drive interest to Omarchy

If he truly believed in the idea of never reading the code, he'd fire all his developers and have the designers do it all - create very high level feature descriptions and iterate on them. Put your money where your mouth is

Some of that insecurity is self-inflicted

If your mortgage payment and overall living expenses are so high that you can only get by with a high paying job then you've shackled yourself to your org and should fear being fired

If you live well below your means you'll have a large savings buffer and won't care so much

> The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, "If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils."

> Said Diogenes, "Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king."

Not devoting your entire life to optimizing for your org's productivity is workplace terrorism?

Yeah I'm sure you'll be well rewarded for being a good little worker and fighting for your org's productivity over people's happiness

Ironically AI companies driving up the price of components might increase the demand for efficient software to save costs

How do you find clients for this? Sounds like a pretty nice gig

Maybe I'm overthinking things. There were companies paying out the ass for relatively basic WordPress sites in the past (and probably still)

No-one's paying you $2000/mo for something they can build in-house now, probably better suited to their needs.

Will software developers be the ones making it, or will it be the experts in the relevant domain?

I've been on a vibe-coding binge to create a bespoke tool for myself over the last week. I haven't looked at the code once. Couldn't tell you how it's designed, because I never needed to look, despite having over a decade experience developing software professionally.

I struggle to see this process from a less technical person's eyes so it might not be this easy for everyone, but it really feels like we're close to the point where deeper software skills are only going to be valuable for either very large codebases or ones that require scaling, which doesn't apply to most of that bespoke internal software.

The hiring for those roles might be closer to "knows our domain well" than "knows the tech stack"

Copium isn't a rational response - it's an emotional one, and it's putting yourself in a worse position than if you view things more clearly and can plan accordingly.

How many people will we need in those positions of oversight, though? If the demand doesn't expand we might see 95% of developers out of work regardless

With software I'm seeing a lot of people who would never have been able to build something, and wouldn't have hired a developer now try their hand at selling it

Some of those will go on to be successful and need technical people to support it

> One thing with programming is that LLMs are actually pretty bad at it, and use of them for that purpose is driven entirely by hype

You haven't tried the latest gen of frontier models, I take it? These things aren't just hype.

Will any careers exist? How do you even plan for that

I dont think itll be an issue. Opus 5.5 now is way more than enough for me and open weight models will reach that level by the time subsidization stops

what would be the concern here?

How are you adding new Linux ISOs? Do you prune the ISOs you've already installed somewhere, or are they kept around to be re-installed?

To actually test them properly you need an understanding of Adobe's products. I only know the very basics of Photoshop - I'm guessing most are in the same position

I suspect the reason alternatives haven't taken away marketshare isn't because of the software itself - it's because of the industry around it treating it as the standard. That's not going to change with a vibe-coded alternative

You're free to use Gimp today. Almost zero professionals actually do.

> The `rm` command was released on November 3, 1971, as part of the First Edition of Unix (Unix) by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie

We've had that since 1971

It's not something you can easily hide. You need the energy usage, GPUs, huge data centers

Probably misread the question lol

Regulate it globally

Of course they won't stop by themselves

Their core functionionality is/will quickly be a commodity

where are you reading the comments? Wasn't it just released? I can't imagine anyone I'd consider "general public users" to know about it yet

yes, that's true. I should be looking at the $/completed task

So even at the 1.5x/2x rate luna is still half the price of this. Weird pricing strategy from Anthropic. I'm sticking with Luna if I don't need a super smart model

Wonder if it's possible to put prompt injection within the compiled app to deter this. The next form of DRM?

Three days in a row now right?

in vim over ssh of course.. agents can use vim right?
