> it just polls you when it needs clarification

I think anyone who has worked on a serious software project would say, this means it would be polling you constantly.

Even if we posit that an LLM is equivalent to a human, humans constantly clarify requirements/architecture. IMO on both of those fronts the correct path often reveals itself over time, rather than being knowable from the start.

So in this scenario it seems like you'd be dealing with constant pings and need to really make sure you're understanding of the project is growing with the LLM's development efforts as well.

To me this seems like the best-case of the current technology, the models have been getting better and better at doing what you tell it in small chunks but you still need to be deciding what it should be doing. These chunks don't feel as though they're getting bigger unless you're willing to accept slop.

Surely at that point they could write the code themselves faster than they can review 5 PRs.

Producing more slop for someone else to work through is not the solution you think it is.

You can incentivize people to stay with things other than salary. Salary plays a part of course, but there is a lot of other aspects that make staying at a job worthwhile.

Give your juniors reasons to stay at your company? It's not hard if the company cares at all.

Yes, as much hate as it tends to get on here it's really fine. This vulnerability is unfortunate but every library/framework will have security issues over its lifespan.

> In a sense (American) politics is experiencing a vanishing middle of epic proportions

Is that true? Democrats are pretty centrist by non-American standards.

Aren't notepad and the browser tools? And of course you can start with those, but as projects grow more complex so too will the tools.

Isn't that what all of software development is? It's tools all the way down

In my opinion there is a large gap between "not homeless" and "making it"

> in many major cities, you can make it off of $65K

This is certainly not true in any of the cities near me.

> The problem is that this step will only run when I change something in the web-app1 folder. So if my pull request only made changes in api1 I will never be able to merge my pull request!

This just seems like a bad implementation to me?

There are definitely ways to set up your actions so that they run all of the unit tests without changes if you'd like, or so that api1's unit tests are not required for a web-app1 related PR to be merged.

Adding validation/access control to server actions is pretty much the same as for API endpoints though?

I'm not sure next.js is the right fit for a blog/personal site either, but that's an odd point imo.

Your site looks very nice though!
