There's value in the struggle, learning what questions to ask, handling the questions following a question, articulating what it is that you want to know, learning how to have an exchange of information with another human being, and being civil about it. If you honestly think that replacing this growth with a paywalled, corporate chatbot that has been known to convince people to kill themselves will be a boon for society, I'm not sure what to tell you.
What kind of mindset do you need to have to trust anything a company like this has to say? A company riding the hype train, praying the bubble doesn't pop, desperately trying to even turn a profit? Would you believe cigarettes are healthy too?
Counter-perspective: my WFH office setup is the exact same setup I game and do personal dev on. I'm a button-press away from my KB+M+LCD pointing at my much-more-enjoyable home PC (my corporate device is laughably bad). I don't find I'm tempted away from work during work hours, not even a little bit, UNLESS work sucks: uninteresting work, painful people, busywork, endless process, low autonomy, low trust.. all that stuff has me yearning for the satisfaction I'd otherwise get from productive relationships, meaningful work, and high autonomy. If circumstances permit, I'll leave, but sometimes they don't.
>Wherever LLM-generated code is used, it becomes the responsibility of the engineer. As part of this process of taking responsibility, self-review becomes essential: LLM-generated code should not be reviewed by others if the responsible engineer has not themselves reviewed it
By this own article's standards, now there are 2 authors who don't understand what they've produced.
Awesome, I was imagining how something like this would be good for me at home. This almost seems perfect, and autossh + the ssh 'aliases' (d.term) in the readme are new to me so TIL. Thanks for sharing.
There is no way I would provide the password I use on multiple sites to some random app, and there's absolutely no way I'd do that if I had any inkling it was vibe coded.
I had a boss ask me to prepare $thing he would later copy into the appropriate place. Called me over to his desk, couldn't copypaste it into the textarea. Keystrokes weren't pasting. Whatever he was doing was definitely not Ctrl+V. "Try right-click > paste.. there you go". There was no question he was technical. I guess we can't be at peak performance 100% of the time can we? Just tonight I asked my partner who was going to shower with our toddler as he sat in the bath in front of me..
I'm fine excluding people who can't ask a very simple question when they encounter an acronym they don't recognise. I'm also fine excluding people who think they're owed something because they're ignorant.
>Simply mashing a few letters together can be empowering for ourselves while being exclusionary for others. It’s an artifact—albeit a small one—of our egos. We know what the technobabble means. Our justified place in the universe is maintained.
Your Oh So Humble Ego has you thinking there's some ulterior motive to me typing 3 letters instead of 20.
Today I was using $tool with some dense docs and average forums. In a moment of weakness, I asked an LLM. It said, "just use strpos! :magic_wand:". Of course, strpos didn't exist, but it was in the question for the top result on Google for my problem: "I want to do x with $tool, kind of like strpos in $other_tool". After the impressiveness of the language generation wears off, it's just another bullshit generator and man I've had enough of bullshit these days.
You've assumed there's only one reason for designing a language and based your opinion around that, which makes it shallow and not terribly convincing.
Yep, they remind me of the free 'domains' you used to be able to get back in 2000-2005 that were crap like mydomain.ko.cc. By far the least legitimate one I see is .ai - I seem to immediately write those off as some half-baked chatgpt wrapper, or worse a landing page for a product that doesn't exist that would also just be a chatgpt wrapper if enough fools handover their email address. That said, I do like .io for tech sites. I think domains by area/industry are mostly sensible.
One annoying part of the new AI world is these worthless AI-generated diagrams. I don't mean AI generated the pixels, I mean it was asked to generate docs, maybe even a "system diagram", and the result is just noise.
>There isn't a book on earth that could answer the question "which remaining parts of my codebase still use the .permission_allowed() method and what edge-cases do they have that would prevent them from being upgraded to the new .allowed() mechanism"?
You're so close to realising why the book counter argument doesn't make any sense!
If you want to shit talk LLMs, you better come armed with research, buddy. Claims about how it will revolutionise every profession just need n=1 anecdata though.
