Why is AI moderation worse?

The most low-tech we are is nothing connects to a WiFi unless it has too and nothing gets upgraded. We replace things when the stop working and can't be repaired.

100% if I spend time cultivating context and giving it a good prompt. I'd say 30% of the time wing it and give it broad ideas about what I'm trying to do.

I'm not sure if you're using these tools if you think a weekend hackathon project can't be done in 15 minutes.
95.
by jf22 1y ago
Yeah but you get the two days of hacking in 15 minutes. And I highly doubt you spend months, as in 5+ weeks at the least making it production ready. What even is "production readiness?" 100% fully unit tested and ready for planeta

I'd invert the question and ask why AI coding tools need a UI? I use Windsurf and I've never cared about any IDE integration. Windsurf may as well be a terminal app.

It's weird that mask wearing is a political identity in the USA.

I've been middle management for half my career and the role has never been about explaining or requirements or defining context like I do with an LLM to code...

What I mean is the base knowledge and components are still there that make building a thing possible. If nobody built a game engine in 30 years we could still build another game engine. Knowledge will be "lost" but the capability

Yeah but if the US wanted to make a tank it would make a tank. The knowledge isn't in practice but not lost. We still know how to weld steel and built turrets. I mean the full schematics of tanks are available online. I'm not as w

Has technology made us lose any capabilities so far? Everywhere I look there is someone preserving 16th century cave painting techniques or hand tanning beavers and then writing guides that surpass whatever knowledge there was centuries ago

I get anxiety from understanding all the work I have to do.

Fixing tech debt is rarely worth the effort.

I'm really productive with AI and yet terribly unhappy with how my career has changed. I'm a weaver using a loom and I miss weaving.

A couple of weeks isn't enough. I'm six months in using LLMs to generate 90 of my code and finally understanding the techniques and limitations.
107.
by jf22 1y ago
Each of the "tools" does things slightly differently but the techniques to use them effectively are largely the same now (rules, planning, context management, good prompting). You know like when the loom came out there were probab

I'm a random nobody. I don't have a relationship with any LLM tool. I was a skeptic until I started using the tool and learning how to get good results. Now I'm a convert. I like sharing my experiences and getting the cope re

If you put in the work to write rules and give good prompts you get good results just like every other tool created by mankind. How often do you use coding LLMs?
110.
by jf22 1y ago
I'm not even sure what this is supposed to say.
111.
by jf22 1y ago
It's not magic. The techniques are well established and widely shared.

by jf22 1y ago
There are tons of these guides around the internet. I'm only using what other people have already published.

Then tell it to write better comments...

The code I generate with LLMs is clean and looks as good if not better than what I'd write by hand.
115.
by jf22 1y ago
I can do it by hand but it takes time. With AI the extra quality and polish is basically free and instantaneous.

by jf22 1y ago
> What LLMs produce is often broken, hallucinated, or below codebase standards. With enough rules and good prompting this is not true. The code I generate is usually better than what I'd do by hand. The reason the code is better all

How are you defining garbage?

Why do Pepsi and Coke dominate the cola conversation? Because they are the most popular.

The boring answer is 99% of promotions and raises are not tied to productivity or impact. The "10x" programmer in your org is getting a pat on the back and a 2.1% raise instead of the 2% raise everyone else is getting. The company

New tools aren't going to do anything that much better than the existing ones. Most professional suites do roughly the same things.
