Do we really need humans writing code anymore though? Another year of development and AI is just going to be superior to a human writing code. It's already about 90% there.

Companies need somebody to yell at when hackers get in.
josefritzishere•36m ago
That seems highly optimistic.

Humans still write the code, we just do it using AI tools.

If we abdicate and let all software development and operations occur through the use of fully autonomous agents, someone is still ultimately responsible for the agents work/screw-ups. Thus, there is still a human writing code, from an ownership perspective. We all know it won't be the capital/manager class holding the stick there.

That isn't what "writing code" means. The responsibility is for using the AI, or being negligent in doing so, but the AI is obviously writing the code. That's the entire point of it.

Regardless of who or what writes it, it needs to be tested.

I don't even care about that. Sure, use LLMs to write code. But the way Andy talks to his employees and treats them is so disrespectful, I find it actually despicable.

Unfortunately, it's not super easy for me to migrate away from Proton, but it's the next personal tech project I'll undertake.

Prototype self-driving cars where able to handle 90% of driving around 1990. Sometimes it is very hard to go from something that works very often to something that works always.

FFS. ProtonVPN is borderline irreplaceable as one of the three or so VPNs that you don't have to trust because they've been tested in court not to have VPN logs. Losing one of them hurts.

Damn I thought these were the good guys.

Never mind the policy, why do tech CEOs have to sound like frat boys?
smt88•10m ago
Because they’re all fraternity rejects who still want college boys to think they’re cool

Dunno, but it's a big reason why I hated living in SF, hate being lumped in with "tech bros", and absolutely cannot stand people who turn their entire personality into being "all in on AI".

You have got to be kidding me. One of the few companies I liked (past tense).

Is it me or has Proton been getting more media coverage than usual very recently?
jmspring•7m ago
It seems like it has. My father who is provacy conscious but not really one to seek specific things out started talking about / investigating proton a couple of weeks ago. He is almost 80.
