Yeah it increases my work when I’m responsible for quality. The most frustrating is when someone asks me for help because they’re stuck then hits me with a barrage of “chatgpt said xxx” complete nonsense while I’m trying to assess the situation

My company was pushing AI tools aggressively but people embarrassed themselves in chats with managers where I corrected them by actually knowing things enough they let off the gas. I wouldn’t be surprised if they still do to some degree but not with me in the room lol

Yes. And using the LLM to generate then developing the requisite understanding and making it maintainable is slower than just writing it in the first place. And that effect compounds with repetition.

✨ especially this one ✨

These numbers are always shitty napkin math that assumes every pirate would be a paying customer even though a lot of them don’t have the money to even spend as much as they calculate, would just skip jumping through all the hoops they’ve created or don’t even have a legal way to purchase in their country. Completely brazen lies every time

The reason we use it is to tell non-technical management people why implementing a simple feature might take an hour on a fresh project and a week on an old legacy project.

Yes, thank you. It’s really as simple as that

A client recently approached me with the need to measure technical debt.

The writer made the whole essay because saying “just ask your engineers what they need to improve” wouldn’t make him money.

It’s very important. I use KDE. Historically I’ve used xfce and lxde. I want something with sane defaults that will let me tweak things. I very much don’t want something that wants to limit you by pretending you’re on a touch device when you’re on mouse and keyboard, or insists it knows better than you what you want

I think posts about LLM technology itself can be interesting, but random self promoting blogspam from founder types and tech bros about how they’ve found the secret to using “agentic programming” responsibly is the most boring thing imaginable. So yes, if it has to exist please put it somewhere else.

Proton is a combination of technologies. The main ones are wine and dxvk

To paraphrase, “I’m seeing negative effects from using LLMs. For some reason I apparently think simply not using the tool producing negative effects is an option so I’m going to make a bunch of rules that amount to balancing out any supposed productivity gains with more human work and invest in even more slop tools”

Insane

Haven’t they only actually released the metadata? (So far)

Yeah node’s --experimental-strip-types exposes the absurdity immediately. The only incompatibility is that it has type annotations.

You’re being too generous. Calling typescript a rewrite shows the author chose something as an example they clearly don’t understand the first thing about.

TypeScript, for those who aren’t familiar, is a Microsoft rewrite of JavaScript that’s incompatible with basic JavaScript in multiple ways

Wut

Humanity needs to wake up to dangers of AI 👍

Says anthropic chief 🥱

Everyone knows you want as much income inequality as possible. That’s why it’s a win condition in civilization games right?

I’m not even sure if you can install without an MS account if you don’t use Rufus anymore. Rufus requires literacy for sure, and even if you can still do it without it is designed to make it impossible to know you can from within the installer itself.

Every time I say this to someone offline, they act like it’s literally impossible. It’s so frustrating

People shouldn’t use google pay in the first place. All of these things being tied together by the same group is a problem in and of itself.

They won’t kill side loading (the fact we even call it side loading instead of simply installing software is a problem). They’ll just shoot it in the knees a little. No big deal.
