they’re downvoting you, but the developer actually uses copilot a lot in his development videos. why are people so up in arms?

of course, he’s a very, very proficient developer and a browser specialist. he’s not just vibecoding, like you might be implying. but he also uses llms for development.

Because it's bad enough (for those of us that aren't heavily invested in the topic) that often 50%+ of the frontpage is about AI now, to go into the comments for a clearly non-AI topic and see a bunch of "but what about LLMs" comments really just sucks the fun out of HN for a lot of us.

		That’s not even close to true unless you rate all ML as AI and all conditional structures thinking. Like, why don’t you first try to rate and count them before spitting malice ? in all honestly much less AI stuff gets to the HN front compared to when OpenAI first released GPTs. Given there are thousands of publications every month and dozens of startups launched with ridiculous valuations and most of this is actually submitted here for karma or leverage. Besides, what, knowledge representation via stochastic probabilistic graphical models is now an heresy? Since when? Since MPEG or MP3 ?

Because LLMs being a thing now has no bearing on whether it's a good idea or more practical to build a new browser.

Well to my surprise they do, even though every sane dev in 2025 uses some sort of code assîtes autocomplete. So it seams now we discussing what is the threshold reg intelligence of the autocomplete.

Ridiculous stuff indeed.

I’ve been coding for 25 years and nothing in my message implies vibe coding. I know what I’m talking and sure bet many others here do.
