Theres really no diff between a rubber stamp and an llm review, they both do the same thing.

Coding is largely solved!!

Gatekeeping is good, we need more of it in the llm age lest we be overridden with slop.

I'm not following what "I dont understand" would entail here. The choice is fairly binary.

I will pick the software not existing at all every time. Easily without a thought.

> More people building things is straightforwardly good No it's not, its the opposite actually its very bad and leads to far far more noise in the system to sort through to find value as someone who's competent.

Ya it's definitely been an ongoing process. LLMs have just accelerated it.

by acedTrex 5mo ago
Do you ever actually think during this process? or could I train a monkey to do this same activity with the same outcomes?

I read this as im "reviewing" a 100% claude generated ten page incident RCA report. It's mostly wrong but bringing that up is not useful so just rubber stamp and move on.

we as a culture will gradually find a resting place here in regards to "proof of work" but it will be a painful decade in the meantime.

"Created the nuke" is the best framing. Detonated a WMD on the field of rigorous practice.

> The floor has been raised significantly as to what bad code can even look like It's hard for me to disagree with this take more wow. LLM slop code is TERRIBLE and verbose.

I could not agree more. I feel the exact same, its just a ton of content here that might not necessarily be "worse" I just find it (LLMs) dreadfully boring uninteresting. Lobste.rs seems to be nicer so I lurk there a lot now as I

This is what I do for small stuff, debian vm, k3s on it for a nicer http based deployment api.

They are at least more tasteful about it, but they do have to keep getting VCs. And no one has ever accused VCs of being smart or technical.

> Do you really think Zed's focus on AI is just about money? Yes? Legitimately curious what other explanation is there here, thats the reason all of these LLM integrations across all software is being pushed.

The tech is inherently more expensive though. So if you want to undercut on price you have to cut costs somewhere.

This fact, which i do believe to be true, has completely killed my interest in almost all of other peoples projects. My interest in a project has always been rooted in the idea that its interesting to see other knowledgable people or people

They had no reason to destroy their golden goose, why release something that could hurt their money printing business. Honestly im rather impressed with how they handled it, they had enough of the infra and org in place to jump at it once t

by acedTrex 6mo ago
So if you don't want to spend the time doing that, or as is more accurate in corporate settings, the general turnover of the team is high enough that no one is around long enough to build that deep foundational product knowledge, and t

Why would anyone bother doing this, prompts are not code, they are not shareable artifacts that give the same results.

If i do the work for a feature im usually already using it via fork, i offer the patch back out of courtesy. Up to you if you want it I'm already using it.
