> we've already crossed the Rubicon with tools like Claude Code

I install all dev tools and project dependencies on VMs and have done so since 2003.

> Adding browser automation via an extension is actually less risky than what we're already doing with terminal access.

I won't even integrate my password manager (pass) into a browser.


Same I find it clumsy to actually build and run code on your host system.

Most I will do is run containers on my local machine but all dev is in cloud.

> Infrastructure should aim to be bland

Can you provide examples of sources of information that MAGA considers neutral? The MAGA in my extended family who live in rural America think that scientists promote evolution solely because they're God-hating atheists who are trying to convince Christian children that God doesn't exist.


>> Infrastructure should aim to be bland, try to stay on the lagging end of controversies, and aim for universal support. Trying to use it to win some controversy just makes it vulnerable.

> Can you provide examples of sources of information that MAGA considers neutral?

You're missing the point. I'm talking about how common institutions should behave in a diverse society. Like I said: stay on the lagging end of controversies (e.g. avoid controversial issues until they're truly settled) and aim for universal support (e.g. have good representation of all the factions and their points of view). It's not about what "sources of information" faction X "considers neutral," it's about not egregiously and one-sidedly poking faction X in support of faction Y. Give both factions reasons to like and support you. Maybe it's not full-hearted support, but that's a hell of a lot better than opposition.


> I personally don’t think I care if a blog post is AI generated or not.

0% of your HN comments include URLs for sources that support the positions and arguments you've expressed at HN.[1] Do you generally not care about the sources of ideas? For example, when you study public policy issues, do you not differentiate between research papers published in the most prestigious journals and 500-word news articles written at the 8th-grade level by nonspecialist nobodies?

> When I was a fresh engineer I used a pretty vanilla shell environment. When I got a year or two of experience, I wrote tons of scripts

Does this mean that you learned to code to earn a paycheck? I'm asking because I had written hundreds of scripts and Emacs Lisp functions to optimize my PC before I got my first job.


> Increase in productivity has lead to broad increase in prosperity

All of my grandparents retired in their 50s with fat pensions and then lived into their late 80s without having ever stepped foot on a college campus.


You can do that today. But there was a no episode in history where that would have bene the norm or more likely than it is today. Anecdotes are just that.


Where?

The only place I can think of giving pensions at that age anymore is the military. And you aren’t getting a fat pension without being an officer which requires a degree
