And yes. It took a long time (a year or more) for us as well because of 'competing priority' in teams than actual amount of work, which I don't know how AI magically removes...like validating tests are still the right (which I often found agents did it wrong due to legacy cxt)
We just recently completed enzme to RTL migration at where I worked. If 2 weeks AI is enough, they shouldn't need 5 years without it.
If they did need 5 years without AI, I'm not sure how much confidence they should put (like, how you test your tests for that amount)
“It would take us five years with a team of five and $6M to migrate from one testing library to the other” is such utter nonsense
Pre-AI, a motivated engineer would have done this migration over the 2 week code freeze at end of year just because.
Just no dev wanted to do it b/c it wasn’t that important.
So yes AI is good for grunt work no one wants to touch with a finger, sure.
Cursor == highly trusted brand by devs, trust earned over 3 years
Grok / xAI == uploaded your .env files to their cloud in secret, then pretended it was your fault for not setting a secret switch to avoid it
Weird to throw away the Cursor brand but go for it

Good move by @JensenHuang. The Nvidia letter is well written and worth reading. As we saw with the OpenAI-Hugging Face hack, we need open models and harnesses for defense.
Lets stop believing the PR that closed models are safer. - that's just regulatory capture.
+1, can confirm - even for larger companies
am very ambivalent about the *absolute* necessity of work docs / PRDs
but genuinely one of the biggest bummers of the fried-attention-span era is that getting completely absorbed in a long book for an afternoon is one of the best feelings ever, and whole demographics are being conditioned out of it
@GergelyOrosz It's so weird...it didn't seem like MS actually cared Xbox that much and made decisions that didn't help them regain the market in the last few years...
I do hope it means Xbox will get better with this change. The market doesn't have much competition lately.
This is so bleak: a metro news editor ridiculing a promising job applicant for saying she wants to write her own articles rather than letting AI do so.
We got into this business because we love both talking to people and digging AND then writing up what we learned.
It's both.
AI eliminated the natural barrier to entry that let OSS projects trust by default. People told me to do something rather than just complain. So I did. Introducing Vouch: explicit trust management for open source. Trusted people vouch for others. https://t.co/6mY8yIcvGx
The idea is simple: Unvouched users can't contribute to your projects. Very bad users can be explicitly "denounced", effectively blocked. Users are vouched or denounced by contributors via GitHub issue or discussion comments or via the CLI.
Integration into GitHub is as simple as adopting the published GitHub actions. Done. Additionally, the system itself is generic to forges and not tied to GitHub in any way.
Who and how someone is vouched or denounced is up to the project. I'm not the value police for the world. Decide for yourself what works for your project and your community.
All of the data is stored in a single flat text file in your own repository that can be easily parsed by standard POSIX tools or mainstream languages with zero dependencies.
My hope is that eventually projects can form a web of trust so that projects with shared values can share their vouch lists with each other (automatically) so vouching or denouncing a person in one project has ripple effects through to other projects.
The idea is based on the already successful system used by @badlogicgames in Pi. Thank you Mario.
Ghostty will be integrating this imminently.
