He posted an update:

At this point, I'm half convinced he's a masterful troll.

He's from Norway, so being a troll feels on brand.

This has to be rage bait.

And they'll wonder in 6 months why the application runs like shit, randomly crashes, doesn't load, etc. Bunch of untrackable issues in the making. Gg, good luck

I really like it when company representatives openly boast their use of AI.

Makes it easy for me to put in a list of "Do not buy from" companies.

I fully believe this guy has no idea how horrific the things he's boasting about actually are.

I kind of feel bad for the kid and hope he's actually learning something as he goes on.

If not he'll be a "AI-native" McDonalds employee after the bubble bursts.

I hate the future.

250000 lines accepted.

While attempting to fix 3 individual issues.

......sure?

This kid doesn't know what he's writing or why, he's just coaxing cursor to vomit up commits and apparently that's their only metric for success.

I work with AI tools and with people who are absolute top tier Cursor users and their shit is always broken. They iterate fast but they absolutely do not fully understand what they're producing. It's great for rolling out flashy UI quickly (apparently the only thing investors care about), then you watch it all go to shit the second you push because every update breaks everything in horrifying ways. It's like watching the early days of enterprise C++/Java where everything was spaghetti, but 100x worse.

I don't think this paradigm of AI is likely to rival a decent human developer, there needs to be a fundamental change in how the models work and how we use them. What were doing now is hoping quantity is somehow going to replace quality.

"This younger person is better than you and will take your job" oh boy like that's something new that ceos have never said before.

This is an attempt to manipulate workers into accepting lower wages for longer hours. That's what "AI" is to them.

boasting about child labour...Sir are you by any chance from Florida?

Reality: he got a coworker's kid to sit there for a photoshoot, for this post. That photo looks staged as fuck.

The more CEOs believe this, the more I will be able to demand in salary about 5 years from now.

250k lines of Cursor code

Oh no...

Why the fuck does he have 2 Laptops and 2 additional monitors? It would annoy the hell out of me having to reach out to change something on one of the laptops.

I hope all the CEOs like this guy go hard all in on AI and prove to the world that it’s a sound business decision.

And if they’re wrong, may they never complain about the hourly rates of contractors they have to call in to dig them out of the hole their AI dug for them.

2 laptops to open 2 tabs?

The CEO also looks underage, graduated last year after an internship with Microsoft. I can’t find any record of investment in the company or even any record of incorporation (to be fair I didn’t look very hard). The CEO and his whizz-kid AI coder may be the two smartest people on the planet - stranger things have happened - but statistically, and going by available data only, listening very much to a teenager (or thereabouts) hawking the skill of another teenager (confirmed) is a bit like watching two drunk kids in town thumping their chests.

For sure younger people will grow up to replace older people - such is the way of the world - and a salty coder is usually undertaken by fresh talent coming in with new skill sets (been on both sides of that), but right now, there’s nothing demanding attention here.

I built a website that uses ChatGPT API for no particular reason whatsoever. Can I slap AI-native on my resume?
