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.

This weekend is the ABC Classic FM countdown, which prompted me to dust off an old un-published data visualisation of rankings from previous years.
I've considered adding a search function, but I also kind of like that it requires a bit of exploration in the current form.
Some of the code is a bit clunky and I wouldn't mind refactoring it. I'm also not sure about browser compatibility - I've only got access to a couple of devices to test it on.

It should have been the final straw. The new power couple of editorial failure - Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton - had fired legendary 60 Minutes journalist Scott Pelley. Why? Because he dared to question the fact that CBS had installed sycophants in its top ranks. Instead of standing in solidarity, correspondents Lesley Stahl, Bill […]

Geoff Keighley’s annual June showcase for videos games has officially happened, and it was a big one. Across a two hour event — and another hour for Day of the Devs — we got news about the third Final Fantasy VII remake game, a new look at Control Resonant, the reveal of Tupac for RGG […]
