ADHD coding, brute forcing product generation until you get it right? Just freaking write the code that you can expand and modify in the future instead of incr

ADHD coding, brute forcing product generation until you get it right? Just freaking write the code that you can expand and modify in the future instead of increasing your carbon footprint.

The end goal is to remove the developer from this equation. Business owner asks for a new CRUD app and there it is in production. Of course it's full of full of bugs, slow as syrup, saves to a public unauthed database but that's none of my business *gulps scalding hot tea*

  You have users fill out bug reports then throw some buckets of money at it. You could even add a magic button for when things don't work that reruns the same prompt and possibly get better results. A slot machine animation while waiting would be cool.

    It's like a salt mine in here. Go ahead and hand weave your copper cable code while the world moves on and accelerates. Will there be slop along the way? Oh hell yes. The Model T car was notorious for blowing out tires left and right, to the point that a carriage might have been less hassle at times. Yet here we are.

      I am not certain this is acceleration in anything other than lines of code.

      The model T didn't manifest out of thin air after some incantation nor did it have a mysterious purposes somewhere between some and quite a lot. I assure you, compared to shit coin 90210 these are quite the interesting times. It could be much bigger than the model T or much bigger than asbestos.

Man, programming has changed forever, and the sooner you realize that, the better for you. Saying "write the code" is like telling people to shoe their own horses instead of dealing with them newfangled cars that can break down.

  Didn't they say "programming has changed forever" about web3 stuff? I've not heard much about that recently

    I don't know who "they" is, but I never said that.

> ADHD coding, brute forcing product generation until you get it right? Are we now pretending that humans aren't doing the same? Sure, it's usually on a higher level, but at the end we are also just brute forcing our way toward a solution through trial and error, and if someone is very experienced in the problem-domain, they can do it mostly in their head. > carbon footprint So if the AI-datacentre is running on renewables, you would be OK with this?
