I suggest an open kanban approach: We use Trello, but any simple cards-and-lanes service would suffice. You need at least 4 columns: Backlog, blocked, in progress, done You add cards to backlog, and self-prioritise. You provide access to th

not working for me on Firefox Nightly, even though that has wasm support, it tells me "your browser does not support the WebAssembly (WASM-GC) version of this game". I'll have a look in "that other browser", but it

nice idea, but built on the faulty assumption that ai summaries are all the truth and nothing but the truth - if you're missing vital facts or if ai has hallucinated a bunch of bullshit in there and you're none-the-wiser, you&#x27

There is already at least one company successfully doing this: https://www.offerzen.com/ I'm not saying "don't compete" - this is a good thing for devs.

Crappy, bloated, slow, buggy, frustrating for customers. This is modern enterprise software. Older enterprise software was mostly just bloated and stagnant.

250k lines that are "carefully reviewed"? "Enterprise grade" I'll buy because enterprise code, especially now, is pretty shit - slow, buggy, insecure. I guess we all wait for the output, which is the only true proof

who still bothers with this after the t-shirt shenanigans and resultant hostility towards genuine contributors? i was so excited for the first and second ones, and then people, true to form, ruined it

for now - and when people realise what a mistake it is to get the "bag of words" to write code, they'll be back - at least, some of them, as others will have moved on to survive.

it's not a panacea, but sticking to strict tdd also really helps, for the same reason too: it makes you think about the problem before just jumping in to "solve" it if you're doing it strictly, you should be following th

the companies who think they can replace juniors, who learn, adapt, and improve, with llms, are going to have a nasty shock - some already are, others are banking their shocks for later my company hasn't hired juniors in years, and the

Similarly, a lot of people start out thinking that money will solve their problems, and it does solve a lot of problems, but people get onto the treadmill of earning more and spending more, when happiness comes from contentment with what yo

So, instead of being forced into a bubble, users can choose to be in a bubble of ignorance. Yep, that aught to solve it.

hypebro gotta hype you first, my dude - if the ais are so good, you can prove it.

No. Pull the wool back a little, peek outside, and see how the grifter techbros are still pushing for that bleak dystopia where they will feel validated by the masses who haven't hoarded billions in wealth.

AIs as we know them now are all scams. I find it hilarious that you validate your position by getting chatgpt to blow smoke up your ass. The real issue is the hype bros and the dumbasses who faithfully believe their bullshit and spend hours

The reason is simply that ai made with the current techniques (ie, llms) will never understand anything, and cannot replace humans. The way they work is simply the issue here. The hype was (and still is) grifter techbros hunting the big mon

LLMs blow smoke up your ass. The real test is a full editorial check to find all the bullshit it hallucinated.

This is my experience of all the codegen ais I've seen, and, honestly, it's more efficient for me to just figure the problem out on my own instead of sifting through the slop. I don't think I'm an outlier either. I think

MS once again drops the ball No-one is looking to talk to their PC. Most people don't want an AI recording everything they do; many, like me, simply don't want the current gen of hallucinating AIs anywhere near anything important,

NullAI. NullAI is the best. When you ask it a question, it sits there until you come up with a good enough question that you answer it yourself, or get an answer from a regular web search, which really should have been your first port of ca
