Doesn’t look like there are any signs of anabolic, nor is his physique egregious

Maybe both of you guys issue is that you think of Porthos first, Athos, Porthos, Aramis is burned in to my mind, never read any book about musketeers either and I am terrible with names

You asked for it:

This is an incredibly stupid take, and I genuinely can’t believe people are upvoting it.

Have you actually used an AI agent at any point in the last six months?

Your entire argument seems to rest on the bizarre assumption that describing what you want is roughly equivalent in effort to producing it yourself. It isn’t. That’s literally why abstractions and tools exist.

I can describe the architecture I want in a few paragraphs and have an agent generate a Mermaid diagram. I can give it a pile of documents and have it pull together information I didn’t manually write into the prompt. I can describe the structure and content of a presentation and have it generate the actual PowerPoint. I can give it a repetitive refactoring task that I fully understand how to perform myself and have it apply that change across a codebase.

The fact that I need enough expertise to verify the result doesn’t somehow eliminate the time saved producing it.

I know how to write Java without an IDE. That doesn’t mean IntelliJ becomes useless because I need to understand Java to verify whether the code it generates, refactors, or autocompletes is correct.

And the claim that requiring expertise somehow eliminates AI’s usefulness is particularly strange. Most useful tools require expertise. IDEs require expertise. CAD software requires expertise. Excel requires expertise if you’re doing anything remotely complicated with it. Their purpose isn’t necessarily to let an unskilled person impersonate an expert; it’s to make an expert substantially more productive.

Natural language also isn’t the only interface. Modern agents operate on files, repositories, documents, databases, APIs, tool outputs, search results, and existing context. The prompt can literally be “turn this into a presentation” or “diagram this architecture.” You don’t have to painstakingly reconstruct the entire source material in prose first.

There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of generative AI: hallucinations, unreliable output, loss of control in certain workflows, mediocre prose, inappropriate use cases, people blindly trusting the output, etc.

But “if you know enough to check its work, you might as well have done the work yourself” is basically an argument for coding in Notepad because a competent programmer shouldn’t need a stupid machine-assisted IDE.

Knowing how to do something and wanting to spend your time manually doing every part of it are not the same thing.

Yes AI or LLM isn’t able to code solution itself, but it can fill in a lot of gaps based on what you tell it, it can copy existing patterns.

And you can direct it, it’s a tool like an IDE, just much better .

Maybe you are doing some exotic stuff, but for me it’s more than capable of writing code, coding is mostly about applying existing patterns to solve known problems, very few programmers deal with novel problems.

Design Patterns book has been out for what? 2 decades, and it’s not outdated.

For good team interoperability you want to have code that’s standardized, that’s also where LLMs excel at.

It’s a nice productivity tool, just like an IDE is a nice productivity tool

This is an incredibly stupid take, can’t believe people upvoted this shit, lol

Have you not used AI agents anytime in the past 6 months?

They can pull in information that you don’t write down, it can create Powerpoint slides, it can create mermaid diagrams from your description.

Those are not things you just do manually because you can? At that point why not code in Notepad instead of relying on the stupid machine assisted IDEs?

Why did you try to like him? You don’t owe that to anyone, especially not a piece of shit like Rogan

Why spend money on housing them when you can instead (i assume) employ someone to keep to anti-homeless benches on schedule and pay consultants extraorbitant fees to help you design anti-homeless parks

Because upvotes

I feel like this is a pretty useless study, this is going to be entirely subjective what you prefer. Optionality gives a lot of upside, more than either extreme.

Personally I prefer being in the office, better for my focus, my likely (undergoing diagnosis) ADHD as fuck brain, but I also have dynamic work hours so I can simply avoid peak traffic.

That being said, if I was required to be in the office everyday at a set time e.g 9 to 5 I would fucking quit.

Fun fact: in my country (Slovakia) it’s totally legal to download things. It’s the uploading it back that’s seen as illegal, so as long as you have a paid private torrent site where you can hit’n’run you are not breaking any laws.

I bought my fully loaded ioniq 5 for 31K euros Used…

That’s literally the first time I heard that hungarian version, that’s not what we use, we use “az isten háta mögött” which is “behind gods back” to refer to places in bumfuck nowhere

Adding oil is a great way to lubricate your pasta so the sauce won’t stick to it…

Not sure if you are aware, but there are countries that exist outside the US. Were you by any chance terminated from your job as a Geography teacher? i can see why

Yes, all interactions are the same, and there is no place for nuance, how could I forget this, apologies

Wind turbines have spun into the chat

It’s also an awful idea, destroys ecosystems

I have had to do the termination not that long ago, it’s not that great for the other side either, thanking them for joining and not avoiding the meeting is mot insincere, it would be way more awkward if the employee would be avoiding the meeting
