Lots of very scared, angry developers in these comment sections recently...

Not angry nor scared, I value my hard skills a lot, I'm just wondering why people believe religiously everything AI related. Maybe I'm a bit sick with the excessive hype

Also note that I'm a heavy LLM user, not anti ai for sure

There's no fear (a bit of anger I must admit). I suspect nearly all of the reaction against this comes from a similar place to where mine does:

All of the real world code I have had to review created by AI is buggy slop (often with subtle, but weird bugs that don't show up for a while). But on HN I'm told "this is because your co-workers don't know how to AI right!!!!" Then when someone who supposedly must be an expert in getting things done with AI posts, it's always big claims with hand-wavy explanations/evidence.

Then the comments section is littered with no effort comments like this.

Yet oddly whenever anyone asks "show me the thing you built?" Either it looks like every other half-working vibe coded CRUD app... or it doesn't exist/can't be shown.

If you tell me you have discovered a miracle tool, just some me the results. Not taking increasingly ridiculous claims at face value is not "fear". What I don't understand is where comments like yours come from? What makes you need this to be more than it is?

This is extremely reductive and incredibly dismissive of everything they wrote above.

I see way more hype that is boosted by the moderators. The scared ones are the nepo babies who founded a vaporware AI company that will be bought by daddy or friends through a VC.

They have to maintain the hype until a somewhat credible exit appears and therefore lash out with boomer memes, FOMO, and the usual insane talking points like "there are builders and coders".
