The author has a point about CI being a build system and I saw it used and abused in various ways (like the CI containing only one big Makefile with the justification that we can easily migrate from one CI system to another). However, with

Frankly, I'm not sure if LLM would be the best replacement. Given they need to make decisions, I'd say ensemble methods could work better, at least in scenarios where you can actually perform reliable simulations (e.g. production,

To people who are upvoting it: why are you doing it? I'd be grateful for a short explanation as the website is scarce on information and in order to use it in any way it forces me to create an account.

I don't get it: why show a prompt with a button if I need to create account in order to actually use it? Such grey patterns make me close the tab immediately.

I think this is has already started a while ago with data science. While it might not be as fashionable as before, it's really at the core of many of these jobs where various form of machine learning or generative AI are being used.

Yeah everybody compares traditional programming to using assembler now. This analogy would be great except that the current generation of LLMs is still quite unreliable and a large part of what it generates is a mess. In a perfect world, th

Good old Gitlab. There is just one con: its requirements. All the rest basically guarantees that whatever feature you might need, it will be there.

Sure, my point you can get these cheaper outside of Hetzner, so I don't really understand who are these for.

I have a couple of non-GPU servers with them and quite a few Heztner Cloud projects, but I never understood their GPU offering. They have just two (small) VRAM sizes and you pay per month, whereas the ones like Runpod have a large selection

Gitlab had their CI/CD a few years earlier, Github had no other option. As to which one feels more productive, that's up to personal tastes, for me Gitlab's option seems far more polished.

This is the tricky part. The whole point of agents is, well, do things so that we don't have to. But if you need to check everything they do, you might as well copy and paste from a chat interface... Which makes me feel early adopters

They may call it that, but to be precise it would be just an aspect of a planned economy[0]. NB democracies use a similar mechanism but only via companies where the state has the majority of shares which is completely different. [0] https:

I don't think they would brag about it if they were found by AI, but based on their description I suspect most of this work was definitely done by LLMs, and then checked by humans.
