Even with web services it usually shits the bed if you ask it to maintain something with tech debt.

This is something I think some people are fundamentally not capable of understanding.

The first time i used LLMs it was to try and refactor behind a solid body of tests i trusted. I figure if it cant code when it has all of the necessary context available and when obscure failures are easily detected then why would i trust i

This was a perfect example.

If you earnestly believe story points are a good measure of productivity then Im afraid you have a lot to learn.

podman compose has shifted from "basically never works" to "if an existing YAML isnt too complex it works" but it's not a drop in replacement yet. i also want to stay the hell away from quadlets or any other softwar

the three options are: * use systemd, red hat's favorite kitchen sink for handling everything from setting up sound services to mounting your home dir to logging so why not this too i guess. * docker compose where i have to run a whole

Right but he knows guardian readers think that and he's pandering to their snobbery with his comments about Banksy rolling around in the pop culture mud. At the same time it's painfully obvious it riled him up being a more obscure

by pydry 5mo ago
One of the nastiest aspects of migrating from docker to podman really is "what to do about docker compose?" coz there are three wildly divergent ways to answer that all of which really suck under certain specific circumstances.

Im familiar with who he is. At the time his claim to fame was coming up with Nathan Barley, which is why I suspected there was more than a little jealousy there. He got more famous and acclaimed since black mirror.

Github naturally scales horizontally. Usage numbers is the PR reason. Vibecoding insanity in Microsoft is the more plausible actual culprit.

...is what people said when they brought in the mandate for usb charging but it didnt. It turns out market consolidation is usually the biggest innovation killer.

This reads more puerile and jealous than savage. It's got just the right mix of highbrow disdain, unironic self righteousness and naughty language to titillate the average guardian reader though.

Unconsciousness is not the same thing as sleeping. Im not sure where sleeping lies but it's probably somewhere between the consciousness and unconsciousness depending on which phase of sleep you are in and perhaps whether you are lucid

I dont see a problem here. A warm bacterium is no more conscious than I am when I've been knocked out. Bacteria are alive but they arent conscious ever.

by pydry 6mo ago
We're pretty clear on the distinction between a conscious and an unconscious human. We might not clearly understand the diff between the two states but we can certainly point to it and go "it's that".

There are cultural reasons why shitty testing practices have persisted for ~30 years but those practices suck equally badly whether you do them with TDD or without TDD. TDD is a scapegoat.

Nuclear costs about 5x as much as solar and wind according to Lazard. This doesnt even include catastrophe insurance (taxpayers are on the hook in the event it goes boom and there's an $800 billion fukushima style cleanup fee). I dont

by pydry 6mo ago
I swear almost every critique of test driven development boils down to "I wrote a bad test". Yet TDD has no opinion on how you design your tests. There are people who say "you must do DI if you do TDD" or "TDD mus

by pydry 6mo ago
The reason why people tend to get a bit cheerleadery about nuclear power is because it has some great PR and it resonates with them. It needs the PR because it is so unconscionably expensive. The public needs to be primed to consent to

I saw a similar shift at a another company when the VCs brought in new, incompetent management after it had gotten successful and started piling on industrial levels of pressure. My bet would be that a lot of the ICs and managers who made a

It's doesnt mean either. It's just a reflection of the high cost of training.

by pydry 6mo ago
Im not missing the point that they need to be trained. I was quite explicit about that being necessary. Nor am I denying the benefits of them being trained. I just cant pretend that I'll get extra productivity while I'm training

i always found it to be easier to write code myself than to direct a junior developer. the level of teaching involved would always mean the overall velocity of work slowed down. some people say you can throw them the drudge work but i find

The YAML is way less concerning than the lack of any decent tooling to test and debug the code.

If you can set a copyright trap and an LLM reproduces it I think it's pretty clear cut that it's more than just "learning". I have seen LLMs do all sorts of crap which was clearly reproduction of training material. This

It's not the "faster" which makes investors and PMCs wet their pants with anticipation...it's the ability to swap reliance upon labor which requires a level of labor cooperation (which can be withdrawn) with reliance on
