Ask HN: Why is the HN crowd so anti-AI?

Ask HN: Why is the HN crowd so anti-AI?

Genuine question. Over the past six months, there hasn’t been a single day where I’ve checked the HN Best RSS feed without seeing a post about how AI “writes bad code,” “introduces bugs,” “creates technical debt,” or something along those lines. I’ll probably make a lot of enemies by saying this, but do people realize that code is just a means to an end? Users don’t care whether the code was written by AI or by hand, or which framework you used. They care that the product works. I say this as someone who has spent more than 20 years honing their craft as a software engineer. Let’s face it: by the time I manually ship version 1.0 of a product, the AI-assisted version could have been deployed 10x faster. By then, enough real-world feedback would have surfaced to identify the major issues, and tools like Claude Code would make it possible to fix and ship version 2.0 at an incredible pace. At some point, execution speed starts to matter more than the elegance of the code.

Please don't spam people looking for employment. It's just cruel

Please don't spam people looking for employment. It's just cruel

Earlier I posted in a “Who wants to be hired?” thread, looking for a place where I could apply my experience in hospitality, food tech and automation. A couple hours later I received an email: “Hi Ilia, I saw your comment on the June Who’s Hiring thread. I build production-ready TypeScript and Python systems that integrate LLMs into real workflows, with particular focus on RAG, agent orchestration, and clear blah-blah-blah” Come on. I am a forced immigrant with a wife, a cat, rent and crushing debt, who’s been unemployed for 6 months. I am naturally an extremely optimistic person, but boy is energy on the low by now. And every e-mail in my inbox, especially one starting with something related to my job search, is a glimmer of hope. Just to be crushed by what comes next. Yes, it’s a minor cut, but those compound. Please just don’t do this. Maybe add a skill to your Claude Code called “empathy”? You can have your Claw access a “be considerate of other people’s experiences” MCP server! Or just ask your “Daily Grind Reminder” Telegram bot to recommend a good book of fiction from time to time. Just to develop some humanity. Sorry for venting.
