I think Stanford students are not out of touch. Google has enough revenue to sustain itself but yet they decided to become an arms dealer. CEOs only care about the shareholder.
Great article. If the author is browsing HN please hear me out. They say the pen is mightier than the sword. However the reason on why is not clear but I believe that because it can change minds. This article after re-reading possible changed my mind to abandon agentic coding!
thanks, I thought as a researcher Kaparthy would include and cite relevant papers. I quickly became disappointed. I already knew openevolve and the ACE Framework paper. This is the first time I learned about Genetic Algorithm and I now have some clear roadmap for studying.
it is like reward hacking, where the reward function in this case the test is exploited to achieve its goals. it wants to declare victory and be rewarded so the tests are not critical to the code under test. This is probably in the RL pre-training data, I am of course merely speculating.
Even if you're a small vendor. You created an innovative product, and you tried to sell your product to a large company. Before you can be destroyed by simply showing the product to a multi-billion company. But now even medium sized companies can destroy you.
This is why I now check when I'm researching for a solution (that an LLM cannot figure out.) I go to github but often check if the project was created before 2022 due to AI slop concerns.
Well said. This dream is probably for someone who have experienced the hardship, felt frustrated and gave up. Then see others who effortless did it, even felt fun for them. The manifestation of the dream feels like revenge to them.
Yes most c-level executives (who often have to report to a board) have tendencies to predict the future after using claude code. It didn't happen in 2025 yet they still insist. While their senior engineers are still working at the production code.
Yes with few shots. you need to provide at least 2 examples of similar instructions and their corresponding solutions. But when you have to build few shots every time you prompt it feels like you're doing the work already.
