Great wisdom for any kind of project
hello, yes 911? I'd like to report a hate crime against me
I know the fourth rail on HN these days besides sex, religion and politics seems to be “AI”, but AI has taken the drudgery out of going from design -> implementation for me at least.
I think the issue is that some of us like the drudgery!
Some of us like lifting weights too but you can't fault someone for using a backhoe instead of a shovel when they want to build a house.
this is a very interesting line of analogy .. allow me to broaden it with "a backhoe cannot do the mantle inlays with black oak" and at the same time "your backhoe is done in four days but the entire home still needs building"
A backhoe cannot do the mantle inlays with black oak, but maybe a CNC router can do most of the work for you except the final detailing and fitting.
Will I still like it?
Once pricing comes into play, you might.
Unfortunately, even if I did like the “drudgery” in consulting, no one pays American rates for it. The drudgery is done by folks in LatAm and India.
