skizm: > How is it that a handful of companies are taking off like a spaceship, and the rest, including Google, are mired in inaction?Which companies? Not counting companies directly benefiting from selling AI.

krackers: > just cancelled IntelliJ for a thousand engineersIntelliJ can't cost more than the AI provider subscriptions, and it will actually handle large refactors without breaking your codebase.

aleksiy123: Is there a name for the thing where "plausible" sounding, easily digestible narratives with nothing to back them up are used to explain complex interactions that noone really fully understands.While google definitely has issues, this aint the root cause.

stanfordkid: They basically wrote the equivalent to Claude Code and launched it as a product... how does their adoption curve lag behind John Deere?

dpark: But if you take away their IDEs, they’ll be forced to use the AI! What could possibly go wrong with this plan?

riskassessment: Can someone explain to me how and in what way Claude Code is considered "agentic" and Cursor/Gemini CLI/Antigravity are not?

gbalduzzi: Gemini cli id definitely agentic, cursor and antigravity have agentic tools.Claude code is simply considered the best agentic tool, not the only one lol

danielovichdk: 20 years at Google and this is the shit he's relaying. Fire his ass.

mtklein: The closest term I know is "just-so story".

eigen-vector: Yegge is basically posting straight up slop these days. He's making some extremely confident claims about google after talking to one person. Didn't stop to think if that person is the most informed on this.Somehow yegge also has problems with the adoption curve being consistent with other companies. Whatever that means.
