And that's why I think we will never see L4 or L5 system. These system would be constantly "broken" due to i.e. dirty/miscalibrated sensors to prevent possible lawsuits which would be so often that they would become essentially useless.

The company who operates the car is responsible for this. Broken systems is not a way to avoid lawsuit but a sure way to be convicted.

I didn't say testing was stupid. I said permitting only 8 vehicles for human testing from the leader in self-driving cars, years after they've been fully autonomous in other dense cities, isn't the flex he thinks it is.
Rexxar · 15 hours ago
8 is probably Waymo's choice. It's not said anywhere that it's the permit limit.

> Are countries with access to free health care using slavery to keep hospitals and clinics running?

No, robbery. They’re paid for with tax revenues, which are collected without consent. Taking of someone’s money without consent has a name.

Have you ever stopped to consider why class mobility is much much less common in Europe than in the USA?

It's a common idea but each time you try to measure social mobility, you find a lot of European countries ahead of USA.

> I wish people could be a bit more open about what they build.

I would say for the last 6 months, 95% of the code for my chat app (https://github.com/gitsense/chat) was AI generated (98% human architected). I believe what I created in the last 6 months was far from trivial. One of the features that AI helped a lot with, was the AI Search Assistant feature. You can learn more about it here https://github.com/gitsense/chat/blob/main/packages/chat/wid...

As a debugging partner, LLMs are invaluable. I could easily load all the backend search code into context and have it trace a query and create a context bundle with just the affected files. Once I had that, I would use my tool to filter the context to just those files and then chat with the LLM to figure out what went wrong or why the search was slow.

I very much agree with the author of the blog post about why LLMs can't really build software. AI is an industry game changer as it can truly 3x to 4x senior developers in my opinion. I should also note that I spend about $2 a day on LLM API calls (99% to Gemini 2.5 Flash) and I probably have to read 200+ LLM generated messages a day and reply back in great detail about 5 times a day (think of an email instead of chat message).

Note: The demo on that I have in the README hasn't been setup, as I am still in the process of finalizing things for release but the NPM install instructions should work.

Why did you squash 6 months of work in two commits ?

This has to be the the most expensive cost per pixel display I've ever seen. And I've never loved a display more. This is absurd in the best possible way

I was going to include "people who use verbose programming languages/environments" :), but perhaps it's more of a likelihood scale across all groups. The more verbose the language, the more drawn to AI you will be.

AI help us to do faster what we shouldn't have to do at all if our tools where better.

Forty founding engineers? Seriously?

They must have a very expansive definition of founder.

'Founding engineer' is the new 'Vice president'

I concur. Same thing in many UI frameworks where you’ll have a Boolean “isHidden” to control visibility. Makes it so hard to reason about.
Rexxar · a month ago
IMHO, in this case it should not even be a boolean but an enum {Visible, Hidden}.

> I've built 12+ production AI agent systems across development, DevOps, and data operations

It's hard to make *one* good product (see startup failure rates). You couldn't make 12 (as seemingly a solo dev?) and you're surprised?

we've been working on Definite[0] for 2 years with a small team and it only started getting really good in the past 6 months.

0 - data stack + AI agent: https://www.definite.app/

Rexxar · a month ago
He didn't say he made 12 independent saleable products, he says he built 12 tools that fill a need at his job and are used in production. They are probably quite simple and do a very specific task as the whole article is telling us that we have to keep it simple to have something useable.
