Claude Code does our releases now

Counterpoint: temperature = 0 /s

On a more serious note: I personally only found LLMs really interesting to double check my code if there might be something I overlooked in the general implementation (a different approach or so), never really for it to write code directly for me. I feel like this is just becoming less and less common nowadays and it kinda makes me worry for the quality of code that was already questionable at times...

And really expensive, which is why AI companies want you to do that.

This.

Not sure why IA could create something you couldn't however. And at least understanding what happens if part of the bundle.

I don't condemn using LLM, but at least they could have use it in order to write better Github Actions instead.

I've just been testing it out having it create a whole application by itself so I can understand how well it works and what its limiations are with Sonnet 4. So far it is pretty impressive but also limited in context retention/retrieval.

i guess no such thing as bad publicity

It just takes time at times.

This has been a thing forever, before AI. Lots of "programmers" at BigCorp have hacked the system and they know how to say the right words relevant to BigCorp's tech stack. Knowing how to actually program is entirely optional. (You can just copy-paste boilerplate from BigCorp's monorepo, writing boilerplate will be your day job anyways.)
