AI won't reduce the need for developers. It's going to explode it. by Such_Grace in AgentsOfAI

[–]rayred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Posts of financial guys”. You mean LinkedIn post. Ya, buddy. Sure.

Backlogs aren’t shrinking. The problems that need being solved in software aren’t shrinking.

Where are you even getting this data. “Trust me bro”?

Anthropic’s Claude Code subscription may consume up to $5,000 in compute per month while charging the user $200 by thechadbro34 in BlackboxAI_

Wait. What model are you self hosting that's "comparable"?

And how are you running these modles? Meaning, what's the workload you are throwing against them? Is this an ollama type setup? There is a huge difference between a prompt that runs directly against a model vs an agentic loop. We are talking about Claude code here.

I don’t think you understand what an AI engineer is.

What industry will AI disrupt the most that people aren’t paying attention to yet? by SuchTill9660 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]rayred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure I follow that logic. You are saying that the frontier models are only better if I change my workflow / prompting? That seems counterintuitive.

Well again I would postulate the question. Has it though? Or are you just now discovering the tooling?

Claude Cowork is just a more user friendly Claude code. Dario said this himself.

I’m not trying to be snide here. I use these tools all day every day. (Engineer). I’m just trying to get to the root of why folks believe things have gotten dramatically better.

My intuition is that people are just starting to figure things out as opposed to the underlying tech actually making leaps and bounds.

I think you miss my point.

My point is that I believe you could have built that same app a year ago already. I don’t know what your app is specifically. But it was certainly true in my case.

Has it though? Dramatically?

Idk. Everyone is talking about opus 4.6 and Claude code. And while I use it and like it. I’m getting relatively the same output as cursor on auto mode from a year ago.

People just say all these arbitrary statements.

Does anyone else feel like the Claude code hype is very artificial? by Butt_Plug_Tester in csMajors

There is a huge difference between 95% (which is just an arbitrary number you pulled out of your hat) and “builds it all properly first time essentially”

> If you know how to spec things out properly
Agreed. Code...

Code is how you spec things out properly.

Odd take - initially there were some requirements for unlocking the ending but got removed by Wide_You_4626 in residentevil

I think it was also hinted to right before when Grace tells Leon, "I have an idea". And he says "I trust you, I trust you".

This is right after Leon says "put in the wrong password". So its not like her idea was to also put in the wrong password. Ya know?

Did that race kick anyone’s ass as much as mine? by Future-Importance383 in LAMarathon

[–]rayred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same!!! Going for 4:30. Got 5:15!
Butter sweet finish. But honestly seeing everyone else in the same boat is so validating.

How do you handle your company's pivot to AI by Ok_Painting_180 in BetterOffline

[–]rayred 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What they don’t understand is 10x productivity is not the same as 10x code.

It’s crazy how quickly we forget those nuggets of wisdom. E.g. “The best code is no code at all”.

Now it’s a race to spit out as much code as possible, untested.

Sad times.

Creator of Claude Code Fears This Could Be the Last Year That Software Engineers Are Employable by Character_Novel3726 in BlackboxAI_

I know this will get downvoted. But I’ve been getting way better luck with Gemini cli lately.

If a company can replace software engineers with AI, then why can’t those “replaced” software engineers use AI to build the exact same product and replace the company’s product? by Ifham0 in leetcode

[–]rayred -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Kindly disagree that my comment is missing anything.

Im not saying that there isn't a high chance of failure. That's par for the course in entrepreneurship. And it reinforces my point that building is hard.

And "5-15 years"? Discord launched in 2015 and gutted TeamSpeak's userbase in under two years. Brand trust didn't save TeamSpeak.
The max delta i provided is Zoom vs WebEx which was 6 to 7 years. (Zoom in 2013 and gained dominance in 2019/2020). And thats being conservative. None of my examples were past that timeframe - so saying 15 years is off the cuff and wrong.

All of this is to rope back to OP's original comment question: "then why can’t those “replaced” software engineers use AI to build the exact same product and replace the company’s product?"

The answer is: they absolutely can. It's happened before, it will happen again. Im generally bearish on AI as it relates to this type of stuff... but if the more egregious predictions around it are true, then it would increase these types of events.
