Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

From Yegge's stages of AI adoption:

Stage 5: CLI, single agent. YOLO. Diffs scroll by. You may or may not look at them.

Stage 6: CLI, multi-agent, YOLO. You regularly use 3 to 5 parallel instances. You are very fast.

Hot damn! This is exactly how I became an expert Linux sysadmin through running Gentoo. Maybe it is time for me to get on board the hype train! Just one question before I get started, though; how do I funroll an LLM's loops?
