The job of a programmer isn't to write code, but to automate things. Code itself doesn't have any value unless it solves some real problem not related to coding.

So if the work of a programmer can be automated then this means that any work can be automated. So no, it's not about software engineering only.

Just attach OpenRouter to your coding agent tool and try yourself. All relevant open weight models are there. Every person have different needs and expectations

Might depend on used language. From my experience Claude Sonnet indeed never make any syntax mistakes in JS/TS/C#, but these are popular language with lots of training data.

> It's over for us

To be more specific: "us" in this sentence means the creators of dumb, shallow, and derivative movies.

The cognitive error here is that people see generated video and are overwhelmed by how it looks good, but they don't know how much it differs from an original vision. Vision that human prompting it had in mind while creating it. And I'm sure this differs a lot. Whoever tried to generate video using generative models knows that what you get is basically random. But movies never had been about showing random things.

There is no way the movie industry collapses. But it will certainly transform more into computer work.

What I miss in this book is the reasoning.

So we know there are types and interfaces. One support declaration merging, one does not. Both can extend others, but in different ways. But why? Why there are two of them? When should I use them? Is one better than the other?

But you still can use Thunderbird for that. I recommend it no matter what mail provider is used. Web interfaces are so heavy nowadays, compared to that, Thunderbird feels so fast.

> They impose minimal privacy risk.

Absolutely not. Privacy risk depends on how well protected is the weakest point in your network. So if one of the participants' device is compromised then the entire discussion is compromised too.

On closed, proprietary platform you just cut off the weakest point from access to the data when you suspect it is not protected enough, as data it lies on a single server. On mailing list you can't do anything, because data lies on somebody's else's server

I think it might be the same as with programmers. It might look like AI Agents can do all the programming, but when you actually try to use it do do things it quickly turns out to be not so much reliable.

I theory you could install some kind of TPM-like device to every hardware that signs the data with key generated by manufacturer. Should be designed in such a way that it is very easy to break it when trying to tamper with it

Yeah, the worst thing is when parts of the same application are under the hood different SPAs.

First example that comes to my mind: web version of ProtonMail. Going to settings feels like loading a completely separate website. Or OVH dashboard.

How is it possible that all of them just started to appear at the same time? Is it possible that those models were designed and trained in a last few weeks? Has some "magic key" to content generation been just unexpectedly discovered? Or the topic became trendy and everyone is just publishing what they've got so far, so they hope to benefit from media attention?
