Agree, self agency or not, people are depressed and loosing critical thunking because all of it is designed as a slot machines.

I am not sure what I just read.

So far it feels they are vibe coding it day and night lol…probably with GitHub Copilot

I simply do not believe that all of these people can and want to setup a CI. Some maybe, but even after the agent will recommend it only a fraction of people would actually do it. Why would they?

But if you setup CI, you can pick up the mobile site with your phone, chat with Copilot about a feature, then ask it to open a PR, let CI run, iterate a couple of times, then merge the PR.

All the while you're playing a wordle and reading the news on the morning commute.

It's actually a good workflow for silly throw away stuff.

Github CI is extremely easy to set up and agents can configure it from the local codebase.

Codex did it automatically for me without asking.

Amen to that!

Yeah, agreed. This sounds like a proper scam to me...

It totally isn't. In a reply above I explained how I accidentally routed to Anthropic first & ended up losing $13.62 before I realized my mistake.

The moral of the story,if something gets screwed up, I end up paying

I expected the author will complain rightfully about the tooling, including linters, formatters and package managers. Things improved drastically over the years with Astral’s ruff, uv and alpha stage ty.

But the article says that very exotic syntax is more readable. I think this is mostly about the libraries, where honestly I equally don’t like matplotlib and R’s ggplot. But I would not think it’s language problem.

I was hoping to find some performance benchmarks or something more than feelings about certain block of code. Don’t get me wrong I am also not a die hard fan of Python although I have written a lot or production code in it. Mentioning bloated, boilerplate code…I am afraid author should look on Java or any modern JavaScript project.
