Can you give some examples? What LLM? What code? What tests? As a test I just asked "ChatGPT 4o with canvas" to "Can you write a set of tests to test glBufferData and all of its edge cases?" glBufferData is a 32 year old

I'd prefer they make it the default to not install it. I don't need to print from Linux. I don't print from Windows nor MacOS much either. Less than once a year. But I particularly don't print from Linux. I suspect that

This has nothing to do with entitlement. Nothing about my post had to do with open source. The same issues apply to proprietary API changes. Further, I maintain 150 open source projects, 20+ of them active. I still take into account that ma

for me it's not fear of being good enough. it's that for me a blog post takes 4 to 20 hours. 4 if it's just text. Write, rewrite, proofread, etc. 20 if I need to draw diagrams or make examples. if it's just a paragraph o

it's worse than that imo. People claim the web is dangerous because it runs untrusted code but apps do the same with auto updates from stores and that the majority of apps are just webviews running code from the net but without the sam
