It makes my work suck, sadly. Team dynamics also contributes to that, admittedly.

Last year I was working on implementing a pretty big feature in our codebase, it required a lot of focus to get the business logic right and at the same time you had be very creative to make this feasible to run without hogging to much resources.

When I was nearly done and worked on catching bugs, team members grew tired of waiting and starting taking my code from x weeks ago (I have no idea why), feeding it to Claude or whatever and then came back with a solution. So instead of me finishing my code I had to go through their version of my code.

Each one of the proposals had one or more business requirements wrong and several huge bugs. Not one was any closer to a solution than mine was.

I had appreciated any contribution to my code, but thinking that it would be so easy to just take my code and finishing it by asking Claude was rather insulting.

It can be worth it, for a better discourse, to add some context to your post from the onset. "I have no idea why, if its something about your wording or something else, but I immediately thought you were from the uk". Your post comes across as pretty snarky/condenscending.

Is it easy to install linux on them?

> I felt that both had tall somewhat socially awkward men

Northern europeans cast northern europeans in commercials you say?

If you dont need any of the ++ why would you use notepad++ over notepad?

Does anyone have a good explanation on how supposedly other countries were paying the tariffs? If so, nothing would deter the american consumer from buying foreign?

>well if you have encrypted storage and already need password to get to it, secondary password is of little value

This is not true at all though. What about when you are logged into your computer.

Yes! They are much better. Yr has a great API as well.

>If you do that you end up pretty close to what that drawing shows.

It doesn't have to. It will depend on the distance to the keyboard, the height difference between you and the keyboard, where on your desk the keyboard is placed. It also depends on the person writing ofc.

Why not write it yourself?

It comes down to this for me as well. Just the same way I never open auto generated mails, I see no reason to read text other people have got an LLM to write for them.

And your problem is that you didnt understood the point of their post. The full context was so complex and would be so time consuming to relay that they might as well code themselves.

That not the same.

At what point do people really know if it has been tightened up if they never look at the code?

Why is there a point of not reading the code? Even with very competent humans we have put in place systems for reviewing the code.

I emailed HR and asked what to do to best ask for leave in case of a future event (serious illness with a family member, I just wanted to be one step ahead and make sure I did everything right even in the state of grief).

HR wouldn't tell me what would be the best and most correct course of action, the only thing that they said was that it was my responsibility as an employee to find out. Well, what did they think I was doing.

The goal might be to maximize profits, but that only means that managers want to make sure everyone further down the chain are doing whatever they identify to be the best way to accomplish that. How do you do that? Reports.

>So let's say we have a generation of people who use AI tools to code and no one really thinks hard about solving problems in niche spaces.

I don't think we need to wait a generation either. This probably was a part of their personality already, but a group of people developers on my job seems to have just given up on thinking hard/thinking through difficult problems, its insane to witness.

Maybe AI should not author big and complex features that cant be split up into parts and thus easily reviewed.

Or put it in the shredder once the notes are not needed.

>Modern society has an insane demand for transportation. Roads – the medium on which we transport things

Why do you say it like roads are the only option? Its even far from the most effective option. You mean rails?

> the product work, does it meet the spec, do the tests pass

How is this decoupled from the code?

Since it got 49 of 50 right its worse than what you would get using a simple google search. People would immediately disregard a conventional source that only listed 49 out of 50.

>For all those who think they're not talented and therefore can't learn how to sing, some good news here: Learning to sing is a matter of coordinating and strengthening muscles, so it can be practiced and improved just like anything else. The predisposition is largely the same for everybody (vocal pathologies excluded).

When I got children I started singing for them almost every night. After doing that for some years now it's incredible how much better my singing has become (for me at least). Before that I didn't dare to sing when other people could hear me, but now I have no problems with that. I really enjoy singing for my kids and look forward to it every evening.

>It was, for me, never about the code.

Then it wasn't your craft.

Not much of a game if you can't choose the guesses yourself?

Some people don't mind living close to nature, but rather see that as a positive. And many people seek out the same environment they grew up in, as they are used to that. Isn't it like that where you live?

How do you know if I am left or right, and who is touchy? Its just ridiculous to assume they are paid to live there. It doesn't all revolve around the US.

If anything, the Greenlanders have fought for the right to be Greenlanders.

Its their home. Why would you think they were?

Why would they go for the cheapest option?
