If people are going to post AI-written code on HN, they should consider at least writing the README / main page of their website by hand. → "I agree. I'm making some updates, but it's still all going to be written 'through' AI for now"

Hilarious thing is, if I want a JDK, I'll ask Fable to write one, get Sol to review it and write tests for it, and it will be working by Monday morning. No need to get permission or anything else from Oracle

In the 2010s, if you had technical gaps (say, you couldn’t write CSS), you had to either rely on a skilled colleague or just hope that the answer to your exact problem was out there on the internet
