If they get paid by apple, they have a stake

This kind of statement isn’t productive. Everyone has a bias. If you don’t believe the paper is valid, I’d like to hear your substantive critique.

Looks great. I will try it out. My use case is buiding app components so i hope this is not just for simple web pages.


Puck should definitely support that workflow, too! If you need any support, we're active on Discord (link in README)


You would have a ghost town nobody uses then


you forget to add tiktok which is probably 10x bigger than google and meta combined (in terms of total hours wasted from users)


They should ship a model within the chrome browser. So developers can just call api to access the model for their apps. It seems like a great idea. Don't know why they are not doing it yet.



Really excited to see this shipped & hopefully get cross-browser support


you're so wrong. This only works if what you do is so simple that any junior develper can sufficiently do it well. Senior developers with AI is gonna destroy a bunch of junior developers with AI.


>You're so wrong, this only works if..

wrong? I'll gladly continue this 'wrong' approach if it continues to be as successful as it has over the last 6 months. Aswell as it being entertaining seeing the level of cope among 'senior' developers watching someone on 1/4th of their salary design systems better than they can


I recognize I’m not going to change your mind on this, but I’ll sure be interested to hear how all those systems are working in a year or two - although from your comments elsewhere, you run a consultancy, so I guess that’s not your problem, either.


Many people without experience ask this same question.

It isnt relevant. They arent just producing code and pushing it, saying it works. It undergoes the same extensive testing for stability and security as the solution written by anyone else goes through. If it passes that, then its as likely to have issues further down the line as the solution written solely by the senior dev would have.


Do you plan on promoting them eventually or just replacing them once they realize they’re getting a bad deal?


Theyre getting paid and have a job. If they dont like that deal they can go find another one elsewhere.

But its going to get increasingly difficult to justify promoting them to higher salaries if generative AI continues as it is, as the bottom line is that there will be another junior dev out there that will do the role on less.


> 1/4th of their salary

If they + AI are a replacement for senior devs, shouldn't they be paid accordingly?


That would defeat the purpose. The whole point is to reduce costs by getting a cheap junior dev and having them operate AI to produce the same or better result for far less


So the point is to use technological advancements only to increase company profit and not pass any on to the actual workers. If a junior costs 1/4 of a senior, they could easily paid more from the 3/4s saved (since they're also more valuable now), but I guess shareholder millions come first.


Of course. I'm running a business, not a welfare program


What a way to summarize the decades of apathy that led to the current state of wealth inequality.


Apathy? More like the fact that the majority of people are too lazy, not motivated enough, not willing to take risks, and go out and build something of their own that results in wealth, and prefer to sit safe as someones employee, complaining about 'wealth inequality'


It's interesting to watch you put zero value on work/effort/labor and huge value on risk taking (which is very different for people with different "safety nets").


Hey are you hiring? If you are shoot me an email, my address is in my profile. I love operating AI and being someone else's employee.


He's a troll account.


Worth a try


Did the juniors decide it was a better system or the seniors?


Google will die by its waitlist and region restrictions.


Hi, Erik, any plan to release a typescript library? I think you could reach more developers with a typescript version


Definitely, but there's lots of API surface area to figure out first, so will stick strictly to python for now. I can see a future where this ends up with a native storage/query core and with python/js bindings on top.


Would love to see a TypeScript version too — feels like it could unlock some interesting use cases beyond backend agents.


should have a demo video


Hoping to get around to that soon


is Devin worth the money? Would it be a big jump in productivity migrating from cursor to Devin?


it has been worth it for me, ymmv of course.

also they have a pay-as-you-go tier now as well.

I pay the full $500 though. This month I'm going to blow past the base allowance and tap into 'gift credits'

speaking of which if anyone wants a referral code (gift creds for me, and for you) hmu


how to hit you up tho


not sure if this is kosher with HN rules, but anyway... https://app.devin.ai/invite/DWfktbZQoevKNlNj
