Are you also that cocky when you forget to turn off your coding agent during the coding interviews or when you turn in code commits with +300 deletions and +700 new entries that some poor soul has to review? The amount of people like yourself we reject for job applications seems definitely increasing.
You can't comment like this on Hacker News, no matter what you're replying to. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
I've replied to them too, but it takes at least two people to make a flamewar and you could have de-escalated or stopped replying at any time. Rather than pointing the finger at someone else, please make an effort to observe the guidelines and show you're sincere about using HN as intended. If you want others to be held to a high standard you need to hold yourself to a high standard.
The right thing to do if someone else is breaking the guidelines is flag their comments and email us at [email protected] so we can take action.
By the way, you were right that the other person was inflammatory, and I should have called them out at the same time; it's just that we're often working quickly through lists of flagged comments and don't always think to look over the whole subthread.
In short, the answer to "why didn't you also call out that other user's abusive comment?" is almost always that we hadn't seen it yet, but we likely would have if you'd flagged it or emailed us.
My man, I've been paying for GitHub Copilot Business License and some additional Pro+ accounts for my entire team for more than a year and half, with top-tier access to models like Claude Sonnet, Opus and the rest of the bunch. We even had a generous overage policy. I may have been a bit excited about the tech in 2021, when it was not yet sure just how much of a dead-end its. I've seen a fair share of cocky morons like yourself forgetting to turn the VS Code extension or the CLI assistance off when interviewing with us and going 'let me just turn that off'. Then continuing to demonstrate their utter incompetence and obviously dependence on LLM. But what do I know? I never had my production database deleted by an LLM. Altough we haven't seen disasters on the scale of this buddy: https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/21/replit_saastr_vibe_co..., we did have some close calls, which is why we reverted the usage to strictly conversational mode and heavy supervision requirements. Maybe also explain your excitement about LLM to this fresh thread here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44651485 . It's ok to be junior and to be excited about stuff. But you obviously lack the heavy duty exposure that would open up your eyes a bit. Just be careful not to delete your employer's database.
> My point stands, go get a feel of what’s happening in 2025 with coding agents like Claude code or the one from this article, or you’ll be left behind. I’m done arguing with a smug man child
Junior, first you re-learn to read correctly, as LLM dependency seems to have impacted your reading comprehension skills. I never said I only used them in 2021 (Claude/Anthropic did not even exist back then), as you seem to be falsely constructing in your head. I am saying I've been using them since 2021 and paying for a generous usage profile of my team since the last 18 months. Recently we decided to drop agentic usage as it is absolute crap and is a net negative. I am sorry to pop your bubble, but the only person left behind is you - your arguments are even sounding like an LLM hallucination. Are you sure you did not ask Claude to give you those arguments to shoot back at me?
