I don't have much success with using the LLM to make changes to a big legacy codebase. Instead, I use the LLM to gripe about things I don't like in the code. Usually, it is a brilliant commiserator.

That's probably still very healthy. The study looks at deaths per year at non-optimal temperatures. Living in a desert is different than taking a sauna.

Out of curiosity, which fields would you say are the best to just be mediocre in?

I mean, there's other problems with OPs argument.

For example, "there's no chance to become the next one" implies it's only worth it to do something if you can become the absolute best person in the field.

It's a big world. Most of us will not be the very best at what we do. There are millions of fun games that were not written by John Carmack.

no one expects humans to read CLAUDE.md

I noticed this! CLAUDE.md is one of my go-to places if I want to read documentation, now. It's usually much more to the point and more accurate than whatever was intended for humans.

Crazy for wanting a computer that's actually yours.

I believe there will come a day where people who can do this will be selling these on the black market for top dollar.

which desktop experience did you try

i'm a daily mac os x user (for a long time) and I think kde plasma is better

Even gnome tries to be too modern imo. KDE is perfect. I used to feel like KDE was too much like a toy. Now by comparison it looks utilitarian.

I can't really trust this kind of statement since there is an obvious conflict of interest.

You can write lots of code with an LLM.

"I did ~20 PRs yesterday all coded by AI"

I guess anthropic makes you use a pull request for minor code changes.

You'll do better showing this to the people who would be your users. Looks like a solid idea to make some money on the side solving a problem you actually have.

A lot of people on HN wouldn't be your users. That's fine. Find them and post this there.

glad I have your ear

as much as I love the meme in your post, it's the reason I won't be able to share it with work colleagues who use matlab every day

just something to consider
