foolserrandboy··on Vanity activities
No, the author actually says: Acknowledge that they are hobbies.
foolserrandboy··on A small number of samples can poison LLMs of any size
we've been trained by youtube and probably other social media sites that downvoting does nothing. It's "the boy who cried" you can downvote.
foolserrandboy··on Jane Goodall has died
I thought she already died a few years ago I must’ve jumped universes again.
foolserrandboy··on AI-generated “workslop” is destroying productivity?
I think if LLMs improved or our usages of them improved to the point we became design/code reviewers full time many of us would leave to do something less boring and so in some ways there is a negative incentive to investigate different AI driven workflows.
foolserrandboy··on Vibe coding as a coding veteran: from 8-bit assembly to English-as-code
I wonder why it’s not the norm to use code generation or some other form of meta programming to handle this boring repetitive work?
foolserrandboy··on AI coding made me faster, but I can't code to music anymore
Yeah, I don't understand this comparison. I've programmed for years in higher level languages professionally and never learned assembly and never got stuck because the higher level language was limited or doing something wrong.

Whenever I use an LLM I always need to review its output because usually there is something not quite right. For context I'm using VS copilot, mostly ask and agent mode, in a large brownfield project.
