If you didn't write it, you're not the author. That's how it works, man.

I would also love to read that blog post about the Rust rewrite, when you get it published.



The dogmatism on both ends of this argument grows tiresome.


Indeed. And so is reading “x is the real thing. Real y, real z.” Plus all the other filler crap.

If you can command a model, you can tell it to write without fluff.

The amount of effort to ask an LLM to do work is massively lower than the effort for a human to review it.


I don't find this problem any different than with human writers. Agents are verbose, sure, but I mostly find them providing far more useful information (in far less time) than your average (P80, really) SWE.

He's not even replying anywhere in this comment section. He doesn't care.


Yeah, I know. Not a single comment in reply to any questions of substance in at least a month. I suspect he knows that his choices are indefensible, that's why he doesn't bother to defend them. Can't wait to read that blog post that's totally coming any day, though.


This is at odds with the idea that devs should take full accountability for LLM generated code.

He also didn't even say the code was generated by Claude, just the description, although a decent amount of the code probably was.


This wouldn’t fly in college and it won’t fly for me. Claiming authorship means that you did the work. If you just prompt claude, then you authored the prompt. Not whatever claude slops out.

Jarred should be putting the prompts in github, since that’s the only original work involved.

And to be clear, I don’t think that being responsible for what is produced and claiming authorship are the same thing. I do agree that Devs are responsible for what they ship.

Why do you feel so threatened that a person is ‘not impressed’ with a thing? Is it a moral fault to have doubts and concerns now?

‘Quick! Get him! We have found a skeptic’ - sounds like a cult to me.

Claiming that something is someone's "entire personality" is extremely reductive and definitely hostile


Why have you chosen to have no personality?

(If we're going by excerpts from HN profiles that is)
