  • Man, I disagree with all of this. The frontier models are actually good, and basically everyone in my F500 company has been using it. The codebases i work on are super-legacy java, where it does great despite us having like 75 different patterns for each task, and a massive front-end web repo where it thrives because we’ve been extremely strict in typing and patterns leading up to this. It even does pretty well across repo boundaries, despite having significantly lower context for those situations.

    I genuinely will never understand the people saying they suck. Are the worth the price? I have no idea, I’ve never used them for personal project. But they are at least as good as a dev with 3-5 years of experience, at this point. Our career is boned.

    How does Bezos putting 99% of his competitors out of business, reducing competition through market capture, help you? How does Zuck or Pichai selling your browsing habits, which you see no proceeds from, improve your life? What do these billions sitting in oligarchs’ bank accounts do for you that they wouldn’t be able to as public funds, fixing your roads or building new rails?
