But jokes aside, I'm curious too. Nothing there seems too extravagant, people move abroad all the time. Maybe it then takes them 30 years to realize they didn't have it so bad after all and move back. I'm not speaking for the US here specifically, but more generally. Those longer term stories I think are more interesting.
For a long time at my previous job, I had an empty desk that I would deploy my laptop onto every morning, then pack and leave the desk empty again when I left. People jokingly asked whether I had been fired when they saw the empty desk. A regular 15" screen and no clutter in my field of view greatly improved my concentration.
The fact of the matter is that OP's statement is so vague it could be interpreted any way. You are just projecting your own interpretation onto it. Without knowing anything else about what OP intended to say, one should make a good-faith read of it. I just read it as "war is escalating across the globe". To somehow assume that what he meant is that one country is bad and the other good is a childish way to understand geopolitics and bad-faith interpretation of the statement.
Code review is the real deal for these models. This area seems largely underappreciated to me. Especially for things like C++, where static analysis tools have traditionally generated too many false positives to be useful, the LLMs seem especially good. I'm no black hat but have found similarly old bugs at my own place. Even if shit is hallucinated half the time, it still pays off when it finds that really nasty bug.
Instead, people seem to be infatuated with vibe coding technical debt at scale.

Don't blame them. That is what AI marketing pushes. And people are sheep to marketing..
I understand why AI companies don't want to promote it. Because they understand that the LCD/Majority of their client base won't see code review as a critical part of their business. If LLMs are marketed as best suited for code review, then they probably cannot justify the investments that they are getting...
Real deal in this case or not does not necessarily mean the Claude code usage is a positive net gain to the software security overall. In fact it is likely the opposite.
It will hurt some CC heavy user’s feeling but that’s a different thing.
Precisely. I'm not an artist but have worked with some, and I do so with the basic assumption that the artist knows their shit and knows better than me. This client basically made a draft (or think they did) and asked you to fill the gaps, then went blank wondering how is it you're such a noob you can't even do your job. I'd honestly tell them to piss off and find better people to work with/for.
Going ahead without asking is a sure recipe for having the client tell you "Sorry, that's not at all what I want" and then having to start over again. Your creatives ask questions for a reason. What is it that made you pick this specific draft out of the slop pile as a good match for your brand? The color scheme? The composition? The atmosphere? The line art style? If you expect your creatives to just magically guess, and then get frustrated when the output is not what you had in mind, then it's hardly your creatives' fault.
Yup, people aren't mind-readers. And it can be very hard to predict what bits the client cares about and what they don't, so it's worth biasing towards asking (though I think it's worth emphasizing that 'I don't care, you choose' is a valid response). The worst clients are the ones who can't express what they want in the first place and then reject output without explaining what it is they did or didn't like about the result.
That said, it can be very hard to be a good client. Writing requirements (whether for art or engineering) is something that on average, people are very bad at. And often you will only find out you cared about something after you see it (oh god I am so bad at this, especially because it's often delayed, so I will go 'looks good, no notes', then like a day later go 'oh wait, actually...'), which is why having a healthy dialogue and rapid feedback loop is so valuable to any project.
HN submissions are reviewed/banned after the fact as far as I know. It is reasonable to put a minimum karma threshold before one is allowed to submit. Conversely, this site shared here relies on manual reviews before something goes live, which won't scale at all. There's no system to "game" here.
