In “eXpOsUrE” and “MaRkEt ExPeRiEnCe”
100% this kid is getting just as fucked over as the rest of us, and because he’s young the corpos have a smidge more time to do so before he gets pissed off too.
I saw a question posted recently asking what age everyone was when they learned that they weren’t going to get any rewards for working extra hard. I guess in some work it’s harder to see than in others.
20’s
An unpaid internist probably.
He is getting paid $15.50/hr Which is the state minimum wage.
I assumed they were in Estonia from the names
He doesn’t. And don’t call me Shirley
250k lines of Cursor code
Oh no…
…sure?
This kid doesn’t know what he’s writing or why, he’s just coaxing cursor to vomit up commits and apparently that’s their only metric for success.
I work with AI tools and with people who are absolute top tier Cursor users and their shit is always broken. They iterate fast but they absolutely do not fully understand what they’re producing. It’s great for rolling out flashy UI quickly (apparently the only thing investors care about), then you watch it all go to shit the second you push because every update breaks everything in horrifying ways. It’s like watching the early days of enterprise C++/Java where everything was spaghetti, but 100x worse.
I don’t think this paradigm of AI is likely to rival a decent human developer, there needs to be a fundamental change in how the models work and how we use them. What were doing now is hoping quantity is somehow going to replace quality.
It’s astounding how many lowlifes are using commit counts to measure impact. It’s just throwing bisectability out the window and promoting stupid tactics for quick returns.
I kind of feel bad for the kid and hope he’s actually learning something as he goes on.
If not he’ll be a “AI-native” McDonalds employee after the bubble bursts.
"You’re right, there is supposed to cheese on a cheeseburger. Please excuse my mistake“
The more CEOs believe this, the more I will be able to demand in salary about 5 years from now.
I hope all the CEOs like this guy go hard all in on AI and prove to the world that it’s a sound business decision.
And if they’re wrong, may they never complain about the hourly rates of contractors they have to call in to dig them out of the hole their AI dug for them.
And they’ll wonder in 6 months why the application runs like shit, randomly crashes, doesn’t load, etc. Bunch of untrackable issues in the making. Gg, good luck
He posted an update:
At this point, I’m half convinced he’s a masterful troll.
He’s from Norway, so being a troll feels on brand.
“Hey kid, hold still while we throw some fake money on you and take a photo. It’s for marketing.”
Sorry but what even is a ‘technical 1v1’?
Does anyone want to actually schedule a call?
This has to be rage bait.
I really like it when company representatives openly boast their use of AI.
Makes it easy for me to put in a list of “Do not buy from” companies.
He’s explicitly selling AI based solutions, so luckily everyone sensible skips over that right away.
I can’t imagine integrating AI to my codebases to a meaningful degree. I’ve worked mostly with health or financial syatems. Accuracy is of utmost importance. Imagine your paycheck is half what it should be because of AI.
Imagine your paycheck is half what it should be because of AI.
If that were to happen it won’t be due to AI, it would be them using AI as a scapegoat.
Because they would definitely make sure to add a check to make sure I didn’t get more than that.
Even if they replace you with AI, they will make sure to call you back and pay you 10x your time for that 1 thing.The company doing the payroll software isn’t the company paying you though
I was thinking about payment processors and banks.
They might debit more from the payer’s account and credit less to the payee’s account and that way at the end of the FY, they will have this happy coincidence of having higher than anticipated credit from the Reserve Bank.
need a put option stock market tutorial please
You just predict the exact date the company will fail, and buy the puts expiring the following month.
The CEO also looks underage, graduated last year after an internship with Microsoft. I can’t find any record of investment in the company or even any record of incorporation (to be fair I didn’t look very hard). The CEO and his whizz-kid AI coder may be the two smartest people on the planet - stranger things have happened - but statistically, and going by available data only, listening very much to a teenager (or thereabouts) hawking the skill of another teenager (confirmed) is a bit like watching two drunk kids in town thumping their chests.
For sure younger people will grow up to replace older people - such is the way of the world - and a salty coder is usually undertaken by fresh talent coming in with new skill sets (been on both sides of that), but right now, there’s nothing demanding attention here.
250000 lines accepted.
While attempting to fix 3 individual issues.
Just imagine the slop.
I’m imagining functions that only exist to fix the incorrect output of other functions, God knows how deep.
I built a website that uses ChatGPT API for no particular reason whatsoever. Can I slap
AI-nativeon my resume?You can slap anything on your resume if you can explain it in the interview.
I hate the future.
