@MetalManMyth @svpino Interesting that you picked this example and not the one where people were proclaiming C++ obsolete when Java came out

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@alyssa__liu @rms80 you're not alone

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@gaming_simone @rms80 maybe friction (lack of) is the word you are looking for? https://t.co/TWkdBTN7i7

"why can you not just enjoy AI art?"

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@OlexGameDev @rms80 I think you are completely missing the point... these libraries did produce value, but with LLM coding they become largely obsolete/fungible. Which is arguably a good thing, except of course to those for whom API/library design is a passion.

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@paulrpotts @naeticus @svpino With frontier models, this is really not true anymore. They are frighteningly competent.

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@akoskm @trq212 really proud of you

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@akoskm @trq212 what matters to you?

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@akoskm @trq212 what about engineers who care about code, because to them it is a craft?

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@msdcconnect @fjzeit @trq212 well it is a clear shift away from attention to (technical) detail

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@remixedcat @TimSweeneyEpic you're not making much sense. tiktok and social media *are* the new tv slop

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@ScottApogee @TimSweeneyEpic Not in this case...

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@oboka @FreyaHolmer @TimSweeneyEpic More like people ordering Doordash lmao

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@EmanuilDinev @supahvee1234 @costcomaxxer @FreyaHolmer @TimSweeneyEpic Thank you!

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@supahvee1234 @costcomaxxer @kinjalkishor @FreyaHolmer @TimSweeneyEpic You have just ignored their entire argument, bravo

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@M__Houser @Asmongold @TimSweeneyEpic oof

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@laverbreadtangl @PCGamezz333 @Asmongold @TimSweeneyEpic I think that ship has sailed for good; these days there are open-weight models that are already capable enough to fill the gap even if OpenAI, Ant and Tesla were all to go under.

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@GingerBeardGage @Asmongold @TimSweeneyEpic lmao what is good about trump?

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@JanOrszulik @babadokia @TimSweeneyEpic Will anyone see those results in the sea of slop, though?

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@realtalkstruth @TimSweeneyEpic ...and getting bored of it in 5 minutes.

[Tim Apple @itaintmeeeeeee]

@TheAaronBowley @TimSweeneyEpic and? did you manage to get a software engineering job?
