But what is cheating in one context isn't in another. For example, using a calculator on a middle school math test may be morally wrong due to the parameters. But it would be foolish NOT to use the calculator in other contexts. I am no

Yes, recent . Oh dear indeed, it's gotten worse than it ever was before. I have no problem with vibe coded software.

Yeah except you and every other commenter failed to even read the post. It's native.

It runs natively... did you even read the post at all?

Yes. I did trust the 22-year-old coffee junkies. There was a limit to how much damage they could code in an afternoon. The recent sprawl of viruses, worms, and malware should give everyone pause when installing fresh software.

Reducing your whole life down to a "memory currency" is supposed to be a "superpower"? How? It gave excellent examples of other tools that gave us superpowers: GPS, Phone, Internet. But didn't provide a single shred

Momentum + path of least resistance. My company is still on GitHub... for now. But incidents like this are becoming more common and I'm becoming less tolerant of it. I suspect many feel the same, but it takes time to persuade the masse

It's fascinating how people jump straight into their biases, making all sorts of inferences that were never mentioned. Where did anyone advocate for "large scale code generation"? LLMs are a fantastic way to go from, "We

No one is advocating for lines of code here.

If your developers aren't focusing on what's important to you, that's a leadership problem, not an AI problem.

This is a leadership problem, not an AI problem. I have the opposite situation: I don't think about code "messiness" anymore. I trust my developers to ship the right thing because we communicate constantly about what our goal

In what context would generating code faster not be a desired outcome? Assuming of course everything else stays the same (quality, etc.)

It's not clear to me what "the middle class" is supposed to be here. All engineers exist on some spectrum between "good" and "bad" and it's pointless to try to identify the exact markings, but we all

I'm filled with joy and it has nothing to do with my "mindset", I appreciate your concern though! While it is tempting view all of human progress as some heroic feat of raging against the machine, it seems much more likely to

Well... Sleep and death are natural. I'm not convinced you see people "defend" death so much as (rightly) acknowledging the inevitability of it. The latter half of your comment is rather smug, but I wouldn't look down on

My intent is to highlight that unless you have evidence of corruption, accusing people of bribery is just slander by another name. I hold our politicians in no high regard, but I do hold myself to some standard in that I won't accuse s

A bribe is in fact, so rare, that I'd assume one would have at least a bit of evidence to present that accusation. Or is this one of those, "I don't like that person, so I'll just make stuff up" things?

Can you expound? I've heard nothing of any bribery around the Memphis data center.

Prison is where we put people who have broken laws. A zoo is primarily where we put animals who are incapable of surviving in the wild. It is also a place where the next generation can learn the wonder and beauty of nature. They also tend t

They want it to look more full because no one likes watching the Titans suck wind year after year, so the old stadium was laughably empty when the cameras panned over the stands. I'm not joking. This is the reason I heard for them maki

Do you have proof that people are bribing the federal government to ignore federal law? That seems like quite the accusation and I haven't heard anything about that.

You can summarize this roughly by comparing art for its own sake versus art for a purpose. If I need software for a purpose, I don't care how it is crafted, only that it is crafted well. But if I care about the art of code done wel

I'm glad to have found this site. Though it's obviously AI-generated, the research itself is solid (I've checked). I'm using it to avoid enshittified brands in the future.

Why stop there? No true developer needs more than 32k! -- Jesting aside, I cannot think of a single session in recent memory that used less than ~70k tokens, so I presume you are joking.

"There is way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is death." Proverbs 14:12 By my own admission, I often place importance on the wrong things. I am building the discipline of putting the truly important things first.

Is this a comment toward the author? Surely the irony isn't lost upon you that they literally are advocating for getting a life.
