This is what I call the "how hard could it be?" fallacy. It gets devs in trouble alllll the time. > we've all gotten this rigid view that software we work with is fixed and unchangeable and the LLM boom is going to change

That's fine as a hobby, but it has massive drawbacks in a professional setting. If you know what you're getting into, sure, but otherwise you're gonna have a bad time. Some of the drawbacks include: 1. The time & effort

I work in security, and I think it's marketing BS meant to drive FOMO until proven otherwise. You cannot take any claims from these people seriously, they lie constantly.

It's your computer and you can do whatever yolo nonsense you want, my dude, but put those goalposts back where they were. "Don't run that shit on a credentialed box with data you care about" is addressing real threats, n

They don't need to prove it 100%. They just have to show that it's likely you did. I believe the standard can be as low as "more likely than not".

No, that's how copyright normally works. If I write a story, I can put it online. That doesn't mean it's ok to take that story and publish it in an anthology.

Yeah, that's incredibly unsafe. You made a footgun machine and you're firing it with no shoes on. Don't run that on any machine with credentials you care about. At the very least, run it in Docker. It's not a security to

It is absolutely not made up, and yes, some companies absolutely do care.

Right? People have put in decades of work to make them extremely reliable, they didn't magically start like that.

No, because software engineering is more than <insert coin, receive code>. I've never had a full spec dropped on my desk lol. There's no abstraction. Software engineering is a lot more social and communication-heavy than peo

I tried it out last year when I wanted to ditch our compose stuff and wanted to like it, but yeah, it seemed like it was mostly a zombie project. Plus it had a lot of sharp edges, IIRC. I forget what, exactly. Secrets? Ingress? Something li

I love Hank, but he has such a weird EA-shaped blind spot when it comes to AI. idgi It is true that "more diversity in code" probably means less turnkey spray-and-pray compromises, sure. Probably. It also means that the models the

Yup. I've explained it as okay, some software is free as in beer and others are free as in speech. DIY software is free as in yacht. It sounds nice, but now you have something that takes an enormous amount of time and effort to use and

There's a couple points of misunderstanding here. For one, you architect your codebase into separate layers and logical chunks that are self-contained and can be reasoned about independently. That's not always possible, but you

You can discuss all of those things just fine, both now and then. I have, and never got banned for any of them. The problem is online/MAGA conservatives don't want to discuss those things. I've never talked to any online co
