alt Hacker NewsThere's no divide.
Brilliant engineers, among the best software craftsmen out there are using AI daily and speeding up their processes.
The author of Redis, antirez, stated a month ago he spent 2 weeks on Redis tinkering with LLMs...and it was just design phase, not a single line of code was authored. The ability to interrogate LLMs and have them criticize his ideas and edge cases sped up his process by month.
He also used LLMs successfully to find multiple issues in Redis that would've took him longer to do without.
I myself spend with AI way more time tinkering and gathering information than authoring code.
Am I a craft lover or a result chaser?
But sure, let's keep everything in the divide conservative vs liberal, black and white, craftsman vs vibe coder...give me a break..
Yeah. We’re seeing a lot of posts from people dealing with their emotions about AI, and trying to rationalize those emotions. Blaming a straw-manned group of other people who supposedly don’t share some quality the author values is an easy way to do that rationalization. The reductively binary classification is a sign that they’re indulging in something other than a serious analysis.
