Yes I basically meant those folks weren't very good developers to begin with and now extrapolating to: "wow this is better than all devs!" , when it's more like "it's you, dude"

> I suppose those advocates have more faith in LLM output compared to humans than I do. Some of this is the funny situation where the faithful will state: "This writes better code than I do!" and miss the irony of: "yes, y

Hey cool it's the tableslayer guy, wanted to say nice work. I've been doing a similar personal project for a few years for running a scifi campaign. Very fun coding compared to work, ha.

I'm reminded of my first tech job about 25 years that had some not very technical manager who had a technical toady write up a script to check lines of code added as a productivity measure. I was in big trouble because it didn't

Yeah I hate the double standards here, if someone lower level recommends someone that they know or heaven forbid related to HR acts like they must quash this awful nepotism and scheming ha.

Sometimes these deals are backroom friends/frat bros/sex etc and make no sense without knowing that crap.

I think it sounds cool, the style mix is really interesting. Had some fun doing similar: https://suno.com/song/a24e349b-de3b-4f98-a733-f7f70949571f https://suno.com/s/Ff9n8A7R9k7iTpBD I definite

Good on him and shout out for Hasura as well, probably the most pleasant dev experience I had in past 10 years. It was so good, the startup I was at dropped it because CTO got scared that there was no work for the backend devs, ha.

> But as always, further working on it proved extremely difficult, as it always tried to go back to making generic stuff, ignoring the details you give it. It's like any LLM, it's not a tool for if you know exactly what you wan

> career politician type CTOs Good description; that's been the my majority of companies unfortunately.

When I was younger I used to assume that CTO was like the ultimate experienced engineer, and most every CTO I've dealt with in 25 years has been a needle scratch for that assumption.

But the industry types have been talking about "agents" for 30 years... This used to be a thing that "intelligent agents will go on the internet and gather information for you" then search engines came out and people wer

> helping them launch. I think that's probably the key - sounds like you are at a place that rewards "launches" and not long term maintenance and so you are ruining their KPOs or promo packet or whatever.

I would love this to happen of course, just paranoid it won't.

Maybe not following, but I buy strips of WS2812 and if I wanted to for them to turn on and, say, display a rainbow, I need something to drive that. Not USB from another device, e.g. standalone.

I honestly hate the US medical system for this. Basically you get scolded for not being proactive and ignoring symptoms, but if you are proactive and even slightly worried about something they treat you like a hypochondriac.

There's waayyyy too much money betting on that not happening, to the point I feel there'll be regulations popping up for "safety reasons" etc to ensure the big players control this.
