  • Again it’s more the way you use it, if you tell the agent to go out and create a large program by itself. That’s an issue. You’re just creating a ton of code without agency, leaving design decisions up to the AI is pretty terrible.

    But if you know how to code, and you can guide it to make small metered changes based on your knowledge of coding and do it much faster than normal.

    The main issue comes when junior developers aren’t getting the proper training on how to solve problems or coding issues. Or even how to properly architect things. Or for open source projects, not having the knowledge of the code base to be able to make changes or fixes to issues because of the spaghetti code they let the agent create.

    Trust me when I say, every single developer at my very large company uses AI to code, it’s very good and very useful. But it’s just how you use it that determines its usefulness and longevity.

    If you’re saying you disagree with me that AI is really good at making code, it’s obvious that you don’t code or that you’re using the tools incorrectly.


  • Yeah, the hate is unwarranted.

    As always, there’s people who will basically take the it’s evil no matter what path. If they feel that heavily about AI, they probably shouldn’t be using anything that uses Linux. Which is basically just about everything on the web.

    Hank was using it to create some games and do research for his videos. An AI is really good at creating code and for that purpose making a small game. AI can help you research things by finding and searching for things relevant to what you want, but then you need to rely on actually understanding what is being cited.

    There are obvious downsides to AI and all the data centers and everything but going about and saying no matter why AI will never use is just a fool errand.

    It’s worth push pushing back on data centers and what not And I am involved in several of those movements. But AI bad is just a stupid take, Especially when Hank is using it for all intents and purposes pretty responsibly compared to some people at larger companies.






  • Tailscale and the other tools people mention is an option.

    Another one that’s a bit more costly unless you already have it is UniFi gear can do site-to-site VPN which can make it pretty easy as well. Other router gear has it as well, UniFi just makes it easier. This would put each others networks next to each other and you could access them as if they’re in the same home.

    And then of course just wireguard direct connection.

    There’s a lot of options, matters only how DIY you want to make it.

    Unless you have fiber at the house with the server, you’ll probably run into issues with streaming these ways without transcoding, even with transcoding gear… cable upload speeds and reliability can be middling.
