I'd feel better to have that kind of person out of my community.
First of all, did he not pick the language for Bun himself? Then introduced bunch of memory bugs, sound like skill issue cascade.
I remember some years ago in podcast touting how amazing Zig is to allow them being so performant which was the claim to fame for Bun, now to turn around and shit on the thing. Interesting persona.
Soft / social skills. Any skill requiring engaging with the physical world (robots will take that over eventually but not just yet), digital world is already lost.
Anyway why do you want skills? If it's for economic purposes we are nearing cut off period after which no amount of skill will enable social mobility. Either u managed to lock in capital by now or ur done kind of situation...
1337 immediately reminds me of 1337x.to which is a piracy website :)
Looks like the word means LEET or (Elite) within BBS forums (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet) [I had wondered about why 1337x.to team named itself this and then asked AI to then get the reference and then searched it again on wikipedia to get to know more information/confirm it, saying this because I didn't know about this reference till today as I wasn't part of that era.]
yes you fire if you are a burned out company that only needs to maintain its product and slowly die...
you hire more if you are growth and have new ideas just never had the chance to implement them as they were not practical of feasible at that level of tech (non-assisted humans clicking code and taking sick leaves)
After 12+ years of hardcore c/c++ in embedded, I'm having a blast with Claude...
my productivity definitely improved.. especially with tasks that I would consider boring or tedious to hand code due to repetition (I have coded this at company X and now Im doing N-th variant of it again at company Y from scratch...) claude will mostly one-shot these things with proper prompt and constraints.
I think software engineering has changed, the new paradigm is creating proper fixtures for agents to run in (like environment, code execution and bench/unit test access) and defining specs, inputs, outputs and constraints of the problem, then let Claude iterate on it and sip on coffee.
I find that some "taste" in software and understanding complex systems is needed for "agentic coding" to be useful. I like to constrain the system (code and problem wise) to decrease the potential search space, otherwise the things tend to fall apart after a few prompts.
One negative I'm seeing is people generate huge PRs with endless PR descriptions, just cos its easy... I believe less is more with these tools and effort should be made to keep the changes minimal and filter out of the excessive noise from code and docs... however I understand the incentive of LLM providers is to maximize amount of changes and complexity of the codebases (more tokens more $$ to extract :) so this will most likely be a never-ending battle
