Why are people still upvoting obvious AI slop garbage? 1. Claude couldn’t do a proper fence algorithm for the walls? 2. Controls feel horrible. 3. It’s literally impossible to catch Pac-Man? You do not move fast enough and the Pac-Man AI is

That just sounds like a good way to end up with solutions like AI agents for parsing a text instead of a deterministic regex. Juniors have no advantage over seniors in AI skills.

The real point of these posts is karma farming. Posting a good one shot is worth at least a hundred or so upvotes. People need to recognize this for what it is and ignore these kind of things.

VPNs even from big public providers have not been a reliable way to protect anonymity for a while now. Use VPNs for cryptographic security and circumventing region control.

This is why you should self host your VPN.

Not sure what you mean, juniors are a poor ROI these days.

I had a frank conversation with a hiring manager about it. What he said was even if we hire juniors, juniors using AI are never going to rise to the level of our current seniors who built decades of experience without AI. So basically, toda

It’s sad that someone can think about a game for years and never really spend the time to just build it out. This is a very simple game even a CS student could build for an assignment. But now we’re supposed to be impressed an AI can one sh

It sucks how in just a few years the world has decided nothing is worth doing or is just impossible without the use of AI. As if regular human intelligence isn’t enough anymore and it has to be paid for somehow.

No, there is still money to be made in self hosted LLM models. You invest in the AI infrastructure companies, not frontier labs. The bubble continues.

Even more reason for post-mortem.

If that’s true, then where is it? Post a link, or YouTube video.

Did you not read what I said, they will use LLMs to spam proof onto the human reviewer. Just endless replies with LLM generated answers until you yield and approve the PR.

Needs to be a post mortem on how this was allowed to happen.

by deadbabe 4mo ago
This no longer works when bad faith actors will push code straight from LLMs with little review, and respond to your comments with LLM responses. They will constantly leave you with the responsibility of verifying the output. You are the

why not just approve the PRs with little more than a cursory glance? One of two things will happen: 1. Things start breaking, proving AI generated code sucks and the individual spamming these PRs is incompetent. 2. The code works fine and r

If an “artist” comes up with ideas for some artwork then just prompts it out with an LLM I am similarly not impressed, and never will be, even if the image looks cool. It’s a cool image, not an impressive effort. That’s all these code proje

Exactly. But the damage is done. I find nothing anyone does in tech impresses or interests me anymore. The only things that interest me are things I’d like to also do myself. I imagine it’s probably the same for a lot of other people. Like

Do internet comments count as reading?

They did it to make more money as you waste more time burning tokens with bad responses.

Shit like this makes me think it’s time we start regulating the software engineering discipline into formal certifications and licensing and then we ONLY take seriously any code developed by someone with such qualifications, and they must b

In the end you will just be doing stuff with a robot anyway.

On the contrary, I think software hackathons could really hit a golden age where we see how far people can push the limits of what we ever thought possible within 24 hours or a weekend through the use of AI. Less “pretty UI with mock data”

Ok so even less demand for software engineers? All the software engineers that the industry will ever need again have already been created?

The need for seniors isn’t going to “shoot through the roof” if they are using AI. If senior engineers are even 2x more productive with AI, then it’s like there are 2x as many senior engineers. Most likely, seniors will be 10x more producti

More than that, a ban on all general purpose computing. You can only use specific applications downloaded from walled gardens. You cannot write and execute arbitrary code. If you are an engineer, all code must be generated via LLM and it pa
