> It is not enough to say “I started the environmental club.” The bar is: “I led a restoration project, secured a third-party grant, published peer-reviewed research, and earned a recommendation from a community leader who worked directly alongside me for over a hundred hours.”
Wealthy may not been 100% correlated with well connected, but there’s a lot of overlap. And being well connected is wayyy more useful than any fucking phone or LLM for the presented examples.
When I was a kid my parents were too broke and too busy for us to involve ourselves in extracurricular activities. It wasn’t until the latter half of my senior year of high school I was able to convince them to let me anything of that sort.
I guess with the model at least you guarantee very small class sizes.

Duh, this was fucking obvious from the start. The only people saying otherwise were zealots who needed a quick line to dismiss legitimate concerns.

This has basically been what all of Silicon Valley sounds like to me for a few years now.
They are known for abusing many psycho-stimulants out there. The stupid “manifesto” Marc Andreessen put out a while back sounded like adderall-produced drivel more than a coherent political manifesto.
If I were to go off into the woods, take a lot of drugs, and write my own crank manifesto, the central conceit would be that ADHD is the key to understanding the entirety of Silicon Valley. A bunch of people with stimulus driven brains creating technologies that feed themselves and the rest of the populace more and more stimulation, setting a new baseline and requiring new technologies for higher levels of stimulation in an endless loop until we all stimulate ourselves to death. Delayed gratification is the enemy.
This is similar to how we have already found hacks in our evolutionary programming to directly deliver high amounts of flavor without nutrition, and we've been working on ever more complex means of delivering social stimulation without the need for other human (one of the key appeals of AI for many people, as well).
Of course these are all the ravings of a crank and should be ignored.
I’ve been toying around at home with it and I’ve been fine with its output mostly (in a Java project ofc), but I’ve run into a few consistent problems
- The thing always trips up validating its work. It consistently tries to use powershell in a WSL environment I don’t have it installed in. It also seems to struggle with relative/absolute paths when running commands.
- Pricing makes no sense to me, but Jetbrains offering seems to have its own layer of abstraction in “credits” that just seem so opaque.
Then again, I mostly use this stuff for implementing tedious utilities/features. I’m not doing entity agent written and still do a lot of hand tweaks to code, because it’s still faster to just do it myself sometimes. Mostly all from all from the IDE still.
