Bzzzt. Wrong. I don't give a fuck who's satisfied by my code. I only care about writing it.
> Because your employer is convinced that it can do the job they want it to
Bzzzt. Wrong. The code is incorrect because it is not precisely the code I would have written.
LLMs are useless to me because they don't solve the problem of actually typing the code I've written into a computer.
- jader201 3mo agoAgain, unless you’re the employer, then you’re getting paid by someone that cares more about productivity than whether you think LLMs produce incorrect code. All that matters is whether they agree with you. The only control you have over this is to either a) work for yourself, or b) keep looking until you find an employer that agrees with you. My argument is that the number of employers that fall under (b) is shrinking.
- ErroneousBosh 3mo ago> My argument is that the number of employers that fall under (b) is shrinking. That's great. Sucks to be them. I've doubled my prices and doubled my time estimates and I'm still turning work away.
- mrmiraclebr 3mo agoThing is, companies don’t care if it’s not your code or your view of it. If it works, that’s what they want. Since I stopped typing code I’ve been using my time to play some video games, read some books etc while the agents do the boring stuff (work itself). I get paid, the company is more productive, I got a bonus and a raise, everyone’s happy.
- ErroneousBosh 3mo agoWith the rise and rise of LLM slop in code, I've just had to jack my prices through the roof. The first thing I do when I'm asked to clean up the LLM slop is "rm -rf ." and start from scratch. You will pay a fortune for this.

- ErroneousBosh 3mo agoWhat is "cope"?
- mrmiraclebr 3mo agoAlright. My company’s money is not my money, so not my problem!
