I agree that he probably has a lot of fun. What he's doing is an equivalent of throwing a hand grenade into a crowd and enjoying the chaos of it all - he's set in life, can comfortably retire while the rest of the industry tries t

With AI at least you can wipe the context and reapply system prompt.

Sounds depressing. First you deal with massive PRs and now also these agent prompts. Soon enough there won't be any coding at all, it seems. Just doomscrolling through massive prompt files and diffs in hopes of understanding what is go

It's good to regularly see such policies and discussions around them to remind me how staggeringly shameless some people could be and how many of such people out there. Interacting mostly with my peers, friends, acquaintances I tend to

Sounds like author of the post might have needed an AI to review and fix his convoluted writing. Maybe even two AIs!

Unfortunately AI "art" has about the same amount of nutritional value as artistic value. I'd recommend him to go for oil paintings.

I've been trying to use DDG for the past 2-3 years, but way too often I have to add !g at the end to go to google where I can get better results. So I've been considering giving Kagi a try. Can you tell if in your experience Kagi

Yeah, feels like 80% are AI or AI adjacent things. Agentic this, Claude SKILLS.md that, AI design third and so on. AI DOS practically. Unfortunate for those that have curious projects that end up drowning in slop.

Can you give an example? I can't imagine calculating conversions between inches and feet to be easier than using millimeters/centimeters/meters. Or using mostly millimeters in construction in Europe. You have one unit to deal

I agree that AI is much more useful than crypto ever was, but it's not as useful as AI hype valuation would like to paint it.

I would also say that most modern ORMs and frameworks also either come with soft delete feature (with automatic filtering on all queries) as part of the package or there are third-party libraries available for ORMs adding this functionality

It's an analogy, it doesn't have to map 1:1 to AI. The point is that current situation around AI looks kind of similar to the situation and level of hype around Crypto when it was still growing: all the "ledger" startups

What if its penetration ends up being on the same level as modern crypto? Average person doesn't seem to particularly care about meme coins or bitcoin - it is not being actively used in day to day setting, there's no signs of this

Reviewing code that was written by somebody else is one of the least fun and enjoyable activities in my experience . I personally don't know any programmers who enjoy process of doing PR reviews. If you only care about number of featu

It's great that this is a case for you. I actually enjoy process of writing code, understanding deeply the system I work on, finding elegant solutions to business problems - not just a list of checkboxes with features for a given sprin

Interesting quote and certainly can apply to some people, but this behavior could also be considered as "acts of service" type of "love language". You can take any endearing and genuinely good behavior and make a toxic v

I probably have a very similar "dysfunction" as OP. Can't say how it is for him, but I do get burned out somewhat regularly if I push myself too much for too long. However it usually takes few days to a week at most of low-ef

by Ronsenshi 9mo ago
I can very much relate to the OP in this. I enjoy writing code, figuring out problems, finding solutions and in general helping other people with things that require some kind of software to be created or updated. And until year or two ago

I sincerely hope so. Gas Towns, Birthing Pools, Ralf Wiggums. Some people seems to have lost any sense of reality.

I'm currently in a strange position where I am being that developer with 15+ years of industry experience managing a project that's been taken over by a young AI/vibe-code team (against my advise) that plans to do complete re

I'm all for that, but how would this realistically work? Given enough effort you can produce AI content which would be impossible to tell if it's human-made or not. And in the same train of thought - is there any way to avoid unwa

I guess the point of that would be to discourage average users from making AI slop? Can't imagine that this would stop bot farms from doing what they always done - hire people to perform these "humanity" checks once in a whil

Indeed, all these praises give a very "I do have a girlfriend. You don’t know her. She’s from Canada." feel.

Steady stream of these very regularly. Lately feels like place is a marketing board AI-anything companies.

For me this looks like a great way to build connections between books in order to create a recommendation engine - something better than what Goodreads & Co provides. Something actually useful. The cost of indexing using third party API

I've explored various VPN settings/configurations/protocols to see what works best with my ISP that tends to throttle traffic to my work VPN. Some things work OK, but still not as good as commercial VPN providers.

Sounds like we need a Google API which would allow us to create Google API keys so that we can ask LLM to do it. But then again you would need key for that first API... .
