Ask HN: Demonstrating Value with the Same Tools

3•intervolz•1h ago
From one of the most intelligent humans I’ve ever known…

“Hardware engineers are coming up now that software people are just AI babysitters now”

and then the generic idiot of the group said:

“AI is coming for us all AI is going to start designing boards and chips soon if it hasn’t already.”

Man…i love generic baseless shit-talking. It makes it very easy to identify the parrot in the room.

and for that…

out of animosity…

i’d like to propose a challenge.

I think an hour is probably enough. Personally, I’d rather it was 10 hours. But for the sake of fairness, let’s call it a 60-minute drill.

So I ask you, HN: What task best separates someone who actually does the work *from someone who thinks AI just does the work*?
