My point is that these are not separate activities. They are drawing a false distinction between thinking and coding and then asserting that code speed doesn’t matter and implying that AI only helps with the coding bit. None of this is act

But if you take away their IDEs, they’ll be forced to use the AI! What could possibly go wrong with this plan?

Agree. This is the same hand-wavy “some people” that lazy writers use when they can’t back up their claims with actual data.

I’m not sure your example supports your claim. We got an half degree cooling and all it took was the biggest eruption in recorded human history. Plus everyone’s crops died and the sulfur compounds caused lung disease.

Ah, yes. Let us spray more sulfates into the air. Let’s fight global warming by poisoning all the waterways and oceans with more acid rain.

What I mean to say is that matcha is almost devoid of amino acid content. It’s basically a small cup of water. The small amounts of various compounds may have some beneficial effects, but amino acids are abundant in many foods and drinks. Y

Racism has multiple conflicting definitions, and indeed “a system of oppression based on race” is a classic one. “Systemic racism” seems to a modern answer to this vagueness. I suppose the other side would be “individual racism”.

by dpark 7mo ago
You are correct that there are multiple somewhat-conflicting definitions of racism but “taking past each other” isn’t really what’s happening. The “classic” definition of racism is something like “a system of oppression based on race”. Peop

I’m sure someone is out there claiming that AI is going to solve all your business’s problems no matter what they are. Remotely sane people are saying it will solve (or drastically improve) certain classes of problems. 3x code? Sure. 3x t

No one is missing your point. The issue is that you are responding a point no one made. The grounding premise of this comment chain was “AI submitted patches being more of a burden than a boon”. You are misinterpreting that as some sort of

I never said anything is wrong with the policy. Or with the tool use for that matter. This whole chain was one person saying “AI is creating such a burden that projects are having to ban it”, someone else being willfully obtuse and saying “

Right. AI submissions are so burdensome that they have had to refuse them from all except a small set of known contributors. The fact that there’s a small carve out for a specific set of contributors in no way disputes what Supermancho cla

Customers don’t care about your testing at all. They care that the product works. Like most things, the reality is that you need a balance. Integration tests are great for validating complex system interdependencies. They are terrible for t

Inability to unit test is usually either a symptom of poor system structure (e.g. components are inappropriately coupled) or an attempt to shoehorn testing into the wrong spot. If you find yourself trying to test a piece of code and it’s an

I agree. Not because I think that most AI content is worth reading, but because it can be criticized on more grounded merits. People wrote blogspam by hand for two decades before AI started generating it. It wasn’t high value when a human w

The thing is, people are screaming “AI” when they see a single “it's not X—it's Y" pattern in a post, despite this being a fairly common construct. People are nitpicking every tiny thing in their search for proof of AI. It’s
