What I find weird is why do cyclists break the law the same amount when they have so much more to lose? I run a red in my car, another car hits me, maybe a minor injury but I likely walk away. I run a red on my bike, a car hits me, I’m fucking dead or at least laid out. As a biker you have more incentive to obey every law all the time.
This isn’t black and white. There will always be some junior hires. No one is saying replace ALL of them. But hiring 1 junior engineer instead of 3? Maybe…and that’s already happening to some degree.
It wasn’t, but now it is.
I was just ballparking the salary. Say it’s only 100x. Does the argument change? It’s a lot more money to pay for a real person.

The main reason why I still think it’s faster even if it’s “slower”: it does its work in the background while I can do other things, like respond to emails, attend meetings, look at other bits of code, etc. I turn on the audio notification to have to ping me when it’s done.
Yeah but a Claude/Cursor/whatever subscription costs $20/month and a junior engineer costs real money. Are the tools 400 times less useful than a junior engineer? I’m not so sure…
I have no problem agreeing with anyone on a point, even the worst people on earth, if I think the point is correct. If someone else chooses to associate me with the person making that specific point because I agree with it, that’s on them.
$30 👀 I’d need a lot of convincing…
When the period of evaluation is only 4 years and nothing is done to integrate the solution, then yeah, you probably shouldn’t waste time/money on it.
I lived there a while ago. Emeryville is what, several miles from the end of the bridge? Pleasure riding sure, but as the article said, no one is actually using these to get to work.
Honestly unsure what they were thinking with a 5 mile bike lane where the major population centers are a few miles from each end of the bridge and with no safe bike infrastructure between the bridge and those pop centers. Sure you can ride across the bridge but…to where? This project almost feels designed to fail and make bikes look bad.
Joke’s on you, I vibe coded my tests too! Now my development is driven by errors in my tests!
Is this the plot of the new Jurassic World movie?
I am incensed by the use of the word “literally” here almost as much as I am incensed by the hyper rich denying the vast fraction of the human race basics rights and freedoms. Almost.
Sounds like they gotta Costanza this problem
I mean yeah? I wasn’t counting in detail, it’s an estimate.
Previously you got 500 requests a month and then it’d start charging you, even on “auto.” So the current charging scheme seems to be encouraging auto use so they can use cheaper LLMs when they make sense (honestly a good thing).
Cue the Hulk/Black Widow GIF
I’ve primarily use claude-4-sonnet in cursor and was surprised to see a message telling me it would start costing extra above and beyond my subscription. This was prolly after 100 queries or so. However, switching to “auto” instead of a specific model continues to not cost anything and that still uses claude-4-sonnet when it thinks it needs to. Main difference I’ve noticed is it’s actually faster because it’ll sometimes hit cheaper/dumber APIs to address simple code changes.
It’s a nice toy that does improve my productivity quite a bit and the $20/month is the right price for me, but I have no loyalty and will drop them without delay if it becomes unusable. That hasn’t happened yet.
First they came for the washed up 90s TV actors, and I said nothing…
