alt Hacker NewsSome people like to brag about how productive they have become with AI, but I see them spending a few hours a week adjusting which model to use, trying the new shiny harness or writing Claude skills.
Are you really more productive if instead of coding you are spending your time tweaking the AI to do what you want?

That's just what the people that liked to put a lot of effort into customizing their IDEs or WMs have moved to.

eh, that seems like the least harmful part of this entire thing, we've had that for decades https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urcL86UpqZc
“Modern kids don’t program, they just play with frameworks”
Well of course people adjust their harnesses, skills and whatnot - that is how programming looks like now. You don’t touch the code, you build a machine that builds the code instead.
The question is how much people can produce this way. Me, personally, a ton - right now I feel I can do in a week what would take me a month-two. And I’ve had 20 years of experience in programming.
