Denial is the first stage


Are you talking about human generated code or machine generated code?

99% of the work I've ever received from humans has been error riddled garbage. <1% of the work I've received from a machine has been error riddled garbage. Granted I don't work in code, I work in a field that's more difficult for a machine


I'd love to hear from someone who denies this situation who is under the age of 35 and hear their arguments.


(NOT A DOCTOR BUT) I imagine 10–15 years ago that kind of procedure would’ve meant days in a hospital and serious risk. Now it’s outpatient. Amazing stuff. Makes me wonder what other “already here” medical tech is hiding in plain sight.


Shouldn't you refuse to use anything but pencil and paper by that logic. An abacus. No not that that's technology. Only your fingers? The godhead resides equally in the pedal of a flower the gears in an engine, the human typed code on servers as well as the machine generated code on be very same servers.


There is an extreme difference between outsourcing physical difficulties to mechanical advantages, and outsourcing your brain to a large corporation that is stealing all of the IP that we have collectively created, as a society, and using it to replace our brains.

It feels clever to make comments like yours right now, but in two years when the order of control flow moves up two more steps and you are no longer needed at all, it'll be frustrating to look back and think "I wish I wouldn't have given money to them."


A MECE machine. It makes sure my thinking is mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. I can't express how much of a timesaver this is in my industry


Cool site. Have you considered building your own paid tools that align with the problem customers are solving with your free tools, and keeping all the advertising slots for yourself?

For example, you would own Focus Flux (the advertiser I see on the site) and use Kody Tools as lead gen for it.


Thanks for the idea! I'll definitely consider building some paid tools and using that site as medium for marketing.


I just read the last chapter of "The Psychology of Money" so with recency bias say that each generation has a different perception and perspective.


The best PMs are using it to replace all the low leverage work (writing docs), and spending more time on the high leverage work (organizing ppl).


Not the OP but I personally would be interested in people's perspective on the # of $10 subscriptions the average person can sustain.

Using Fermi estimation, is it: 1, 10, 100? I would say 1 because I don't believe businesses can create enough value (save them time or money) for the average person to justify spending $100/month on subscriptions.

Another thought is how CISO's found themselves with 20 cyber subscriptions and found themselves wanting to consolidated down. So I would make this the absolute upper limit.

So I have somewhere between 1-20 with the average across the consumer population being somewhere closer to 1 than 20.

The implication being that there is a lot of pain coming for the long tail of startups trying to make it with a $10/month subscription model.


Most startups are massively over capexed, yea.

I think it’s still reasonable for solo devs or polymaths to shoot for solving small $5-$10/mo problems. Finding 1000 folks for $10/mo out of all 1,000,000,000 in anglosphere countries seems not hard, it just doesn’t make you a millionaire or afford staff.


But hey, we're in a bubble so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
