Incredible, a post and repo dedicated to a markdown file, the downfall of this field has been swift.

yes they are incredibly unpleasant to work with. Like the most annoying coworker you ever had. For my own sanity ive wrapped my pi setup in some strict bubble wrap and it is basically exclusively an LOC generator. I have no need nor desire

The occasional unit test is fine. But you do not need for example `test_helper_test.go` that is just ridiculous. Its gotten so bad I decided to throw the baby out with the bathwater so to speak and focus on the high value places instead of

They don't flake, generally can run a few hundred in 3-4 mins. Iteration times are definitely key.

Im not TYPING a lot of code by hand anymore (still some, inference is slower than typing in a few cases) but im still in the shell zipping around doing other stuff like i always have, the LLM is helpful in a lot of ways but it in no way sha

I dont think an article title "dropping ebpf cpu cost with memoization" really needs to be accessible to a broad audience.

multiple of them in this very thread lol, what a disaster for all of us.

Mise is really sloppily vibe coded these days

Not even a little bit to be frank. The joy of things came from their implementation to me. I will write something and then peruse its code on github for hours afterwards just looking, like one would at an art gallery. If I did not toil on i

That would fall under "careful engineering"

by acedTrex 13d ago
Fully agree with this, careful work is foundationally engineering. Slopping and not reviewing work is not.

Use and learn the tools, even if it sucks and is painful. It does not take long to feel how they work at all. Once you have that you can pick and choose when to engage this new tool at will to "not fall behind." It doesn't ha

ya i find all LLM output to be incredibly boring and unskillful, I can ship vibe bugs fast with the best of them but it brings me no joy. I'll never let myself be left behind but the joy professionally of writing quality software is 10

In no way shape or form is the distinction between LLMs and Humans arbitrary in any sense. They are two different things, LLMs are not humans.
21.
by acedTrex 14d ago
No, its a very easy line to draw. Rallying and bringing together humans is COMPLETELY different than having an LLM do something. They are not comparable.
22.
by acedTrex 14d ago
This is BY FAR the worst part of LLMs to me. The idea guys were always incredibly annoying but very ignorable. Now they are constantly in your face but providing the exact same 0 value as always.

This resonated with me incredibly heavily. I will say one thing, i've adopted LLM tools fairly heavily for various things. But im doing so on my terms and strictly using them in a way that to me enhances my rigorous understanding of a

yep, this is how it goes, you just ignore the llm brained people.
