Have you heard about the concept of refactoring? AI is also good at that! ;)

Yes you're right. It's that most programmers are so identified with the code, that now with AI they feel their whole identity is stolen, while indeed, being a developer is more than just coding, people!

None of what you say is characteristic of "the right" either. But the things I'm pointing out prove the points I'm making. Please try to understand. There's corruption everywhere, don't be deceived by the idea

Ok, so you're basically saying that the AI-generated code does it's job, but when you actually review it you think the way it does it's job is not as it should, and if you get into that flow, your agentic productivity goes do

That's the corruption part I guess

And so you experience that AI generated code, even on lower levels, is not good enough for you to be more productive?

Well I think the reasoning of coding agents on lower levels is good enough for me that I don't have to constantly be involved with it, only occasionally have to dive in and help out.

People on the right would tell you that the left are using ethicality to hijack politics and push through corrupt agendas. There's probably a lot of truly ethical left people, but there are obviously also very corrupt people that explo

The right would tell you the left's ethicality is often fake and corrupt, and the right at least tries to be moral. There's something to that, but I think there's corruption on both sides, and they try to solve things in diff

But ultimately you got into this craft to solve a problem. That is how the craft developed. And when you build a very complex elaborate system, it can still have interesting technical challenges, even for a developer with AI. You should shi

I just say "refactor the codebase" and that also works pretty good! I have my code styling rules in my CLAUDE.md already anyway

Why not just fix the code before you make a new feature? Or is that what you mean? Only you automatically fix the code on every prompt?

Indeed, climate change won't end; it never has and it never will, the climate always changes.

Also I find it interesting to learn the jargon. It basically compacts information in fewer words, although more complex words. But when you are familiar with the jargon, you can unpack the sentences in your mind. And like that, you need les

Maybe it's not more trouble pumping, eh, sucking water up. But that the top branches are the last ones to get water in periods of draught, and have therefore more resilience?

What if your drive crashes and you lose all your passwords? How do I reach my passwords from multiple devices and keep them synchronized securely? Sure you can self-host all of it also, but people like to pay for not having to do that.

This reminds me of the Missing Dollar Riddle [1], where the listener is deliberately put on a wrong thinking path, to fool it. With your own logical thinking you might never come to this confusion, and if you never heard this riddle before,

Nazi is the terminology you chose for referring to past Grok issues. Woke is the terminology I used to refer to past Gemini issues. Regardless of the terminology, I think we should look at the issues themselves, and not mindlessly apply a c

Yeah, don't you agree? Edit: when woke wants to change historical facts like that nazi soldiers used to be black, yes I think it's just as wrong as to be racist

I haven't equated them, I've used them as examples of opposite extremes. I think Nazism is extreme right, and wokeism is extreme left. It's both out of balance. And Google and xAI both acknowledged that, and addressed the pro
