Markdown with front matter? Pppfff.
Challenge: I'll only switch to this brave new world of "LLM compilers" if the "spec language" is XML.
=)
Make it so, HN brain trust!

Looks like 2026 is indeed shaping up to be the year of the agent.
Hilarious! Year of the Agent, hahahaha. Good one!

> My theory is that this is a source of diverging views on LLMs for programming: people who see programming languages as tools for thought compared to people who see programming languages as, exclusively, tools to make computers do stuff. It's no surprise that the former would see more value in programming qua programming, while the latter are happy to sweep code under the rug.
i'd postulate this: most people see llms as tools for thought. programmers also see llms as tools for programming. some programmers, right now, are getting very good at both, and are binding the two together.
Most people? I'd suggest few people see LLMs as tools for thought and more that they're slop machines being cynically forced upon workers by capitalists with dollar signs in their eyes. Over and over and over again we see real-world studies showing that the people far more excited about genAI are managers than the people doing the actual work.

Just because a bunch of people tell you the practice of performing the art form of producing software via handwriting code is over doesn't mean it's over. This form of hyperbole is intended to overwhelm your reason, get you to forget your own expertise, and trick you into engaging with the topic in a fearful manner (literally FOMO). Don't fall for this cheap stunt.

> This is so obviously written by an LLM I can’t get past the first paragraph. When will this end?
I'm not disagreeing, as you might very well be right, but... why exactly do you think this is written by LLM? I couldn't find any obvious giveaways myself.
> You’ve built a space that looks like focus but feels like depletion. And you’ve been blaming yourself for the fatigue. The room is the problem. Not you.
I see this kind of weird pacing and dumb "it's not X, it's Y" stuff ALL the time with slop posts on LinkedIn. Classic LLM tells.

Sure, let's throw more wild amounts of money at a wildly unprofitable company with no clear roadmap to profitability any time in the near-term, and in the long-term it's very probable that any arguably-useful use cases for LLM-based technology will be a commodity anyone can run anywhere.
My gosh, this bubble can't burst soon enough. It's a form of torture to keep waiting on the pain we all know is coming…
The only way to win is not to play. Opt out of everything. Total ban on usage of anything genAI. Trust me, you'll still be mad at the world sometimes, but in your own life you'll be far happier.
Reminds me of that famous speech by Mon Mothma:
“We are launching our own Rebel Star to blow up planets which support the Empire. It’s totally better than the Death Star and not unethical at all. Join us to build a better future for the galaxy!”

Apple made lower than 16GB M3 models? Man, can't wait till the cheapest model is at least 128GB.
Yeah, M4 was the generation when the minimum got bumped up to 16GB.
You know what would happen if all the people who handwrote and maintained those libraries revoked their code from the training datasets and forbid their use by the models?
:clown face emoji:
This LLM-maxxing is always a myopic one-way argument. The LLMs steal logic from the humans who invent it, then people claim those humans are no longer required. Yet, in the end, it's humans all the way down. It's never not.
