errer

This isn’t black and white. There will always be some junior hires. No one is saying replace ALL of them. But hiring 1 junior engineer instead of 3? Maybe…and that’s already happening to some degree.

It wasn’t, but now it is.

I was just ballparking the salary. Say it’s only 100x. Does the argument change? It’s a lot more money to pay for a real person.

The main reason why I still think it’s faster even if it’s “slower”: it does its work in the background while I can do other things, like respond to emails, attend meetings, look at other bits of code, etc. I turn on the audio notification to have to ping me when it’s done.

Yeah but a Claude/Cursor/whatever subscription costs $20/month and a junior engineer costs real money. Are the tools 400 times less useful than a junior engineer? I’m not so sure…

I have no problem agreeing with anyone on a point, even the worst people on earth, if I think the point is correct. If someone else chooses to associate me with the person making that specific point because I agree with it, that’s on them.

$30 👀 I’d need a lot of convincing…

When the period of evaluation is only 4 years and nothing is done to integrate the solution, then yeah, you probably shouldn’t waste time/money on it.

I lived there a while ago. Emeryville is what, several miles from the end of the bridge? Pleasure riding sure, but as the article said, no one is actually using these to get to work.

Honestly unsure what they were thinking with a 5 mile bike lane where the major population centers are a few miles from each end of the bridge and with no safe bike infrastructure between the bridge and those pop centers. Sure you can ride across the bridge but…to where? This project almost feels designed to fail and make bikes look bad.

Joke’s on you, I vibe coded my tests too! Now my development is driven by errors in my tests!
