It's nothing new - even without LLMs you have automated tools that will try stuff to see if your application is vulnerable. You can abuse misconfigured nginx server. To be fair, to your point, LLMs are amazing pattern recognizers = thi

Because LLM saying "I got confused, dropped the database and then got scared and hid this from you" hides the "why" LLMs do the things they do. I would also prefer if they were less sycophantic and argue with what I&#x27

I think mutation testing helps in defining semantic coverage, if I understand what you're saying

These were my thoughts as well and it's nothing new, I think, regarding testing altogether: - testing libraries (and in this case - language itself) can have bugs - what is not covered by tests can have bugs Additionally would add that

Agree. "Owning" in this context should mean: understanding the domain, working on new capabilities and handling fallout if anything goes wrong. Whether AI or human ownership transfer this ends with the new owner just handling new

Agree - domain experts lack the expertise on how things should be built. Developers lack the expertise of what should be built. In each case, one can get into the role of the other, per what you say: "humans who do the translation betw

What a strange take - you dismiss valid criticisms of Spotify product, just to venture off into the land of "well you can create a mac app with one sentence" as if that would matter here.

The prevalent pattern I can see is making things mundane. Capabilities that you are enabling are no longer something that only you could do, was you expertise there at all? Things running smoothly is something that is granted. Doing your jo

I agree with this summary to a degree. Additional problem arises when you simply cannot raise the standard as you lack political influence to do so. As it is said in the article - sometimes companies are comfortable with status quo, irregar

I worked for 7 years in a place where my technical insight slowly turned into questioning my decisions and expertise (this was after being 3 years in tech lead and 2 years in staff engineer role). Sometimes the solution is just to walk away

As an outsider I have a question - do you actually feel that protest after ICE killing an american citizen would be driven by somebody paying for it, instead of being a civic movement?

I guess who cares about civility if you're the last man standing. Also - that word: civility. We're animals driven by self-interest. What should civility even mean here

I don't understand how any of this is a surprise. Traditional media have their own agenda - sure, maybe the pushed image is spoken through many voices, rather than one, as is case of LLMs, but why should there be any difference. Same t

I understand that SE needs to make money, but I find it fascinating how voluntary content (both questions, answers and moderation) is being monetised. Should I ask for percentage of ads income when my questions / answers are viewed?

The argument I'm trying to make is that hiring a real person or using LLMs has upsides and downsides. People have their own agendas, can leave, can affect your business in many ways, unrelated to code etc, but also can learn, can be cr
