I was prepared to dismiss your comment because rsync has always been rock solid, but indeed upgrading broke my backup script. The latest issue on GitHub documents plenty of bugs introduced in the last 2 patches, including a monstrous ~9k LOC commit that was probably pointless.
LLMs make writing code faster/easier, but the thinking was always the important bit. I’ve no idea why you’d muck up such a long-standing, reliable piece of software.
- prmoustache 5mo agoWhen LLM allows you to produce code n% faster, it also allows you to introduce bugs n% faster. I find it quite strange that people do not seem to be aware of that...I think many started worshipping the tool as if it was some kind of divinity and lost all objctivity. This doesn't bode well for the future if people aren't able to review code anymore.
- brianwawok 5mo agoDon’t need people to review code, need more LLMs. People aren’t that magical.
- port11 5mo agoMaybe one day. Right now I can have Opus carefully draft a plan, Sonnet execute it, and have Opus review the code. It will complain about things that it had dismissed in the plan. Example: it recently flagged ID derivation from a signing key. Opus itself suggested it! When reminded of that, it did this new 4.8-style “my bad, and here’s why I was right in the first place.” Humans are still badass.
