Hacker News with Generative AI: Coding

Avoiding skill atrophy in the age of AI (addyo.substack.com)
The rise of AI assistants in coding has sparked a paradox: we may be increasing productivity, but at risk of losing our edge to skill atrophy if we’re not careful. Skill atrophy refers to the decline or loss of skills over time due to lack of use or practice.

Gemini 2.5 Pro vs. Claude 3.7 Sonnet: Coding Comparison (composio.dev)
Google just launched Gemini 2.5 Pro on March 26th, claiming to be the best in coding, reasoning and overall everything. But I mostly care about how the model compares against the best available coding model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet (thinking), released at the end of February, which I have been using, and it has been a great experience

There is no Vibe Engineering (serce.me)
You've probably heard about "vibe coding" by now. The term was recently coined by Andrej Karpathy in his tweet. Andrej defines Vibe Coding as "a new kind of coding, where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists". The key difference between vibe coding and normal coding is that the engineer doesn’t interact with the codebase directly, and instead converses with the agent and inspects the final outcome.

I hated coding, but I learned to love it again (shilin.ca)
I quit my software job in October, two years ago. I was tired and extremely frustrated. Things that I used to enjoy in the past no longer satisfied me. Those things were mostly related to coding. But like any fire, I started as a slowly burning dumpster until I hit a critical point and exploded. And when it happened, I quit.
