Coz I have always done coding this way with humans I started out using LLMs to do simple bits of refactoring where tests could be used to validate that the output still worked. I did not get the impression from this that LLMs were great cod

Moreover, saying that consistency is more important than good design is like saying that eating leafy greens is more important than a good diet.

It was about how I expected a straw man written by somebody who fully bought into the AI coding hype. Especially the part about somebody completing a project quickly being depicted as "cheating". Absurd.

BDD is different, it is a way of gathering requirements. As is, SDD it is some sort of AI nonsense.

Hopefully once this AI nonsense blows over they'll reach the same realisation they did after the mid 2000s outsourcing craze: that actually you gotta pay for good engineering talent.

It'd actually be easier for a government app to verify identities and (especially if mandated by law) protect your anonymity. The private sector is great at lots of stuff but running a clean marketplace isnt one of them - the incentive

Not really. Make posting fake jobs illegal. Strengthen some whistleblowing laws. Watch as it stops.

Back when I first studied this 20 years ago the progenitors predicted it would get very popular one day. What actually happened was that some programming languages borrowed a few concepts and life carried on as before.

Spray painting a panzer tank in 1939 with "free the jews" would have been a pretty much identical form of "terrorism". Nobody killed, no real damage done. Obviously the Nazis back then would agree with modern far right t

I find it amusing that once you try to take LLMs and do productive work with them either this problem trips you up constantly OR the LLM ends up becoming a shallow UI over an existing app (not necessarily better, just different).

It's like watching somebody argue that code linting is going to change the face of the world and the rebuttals to the skeptics are arguing that akshually code linting is quite useful....

>IP law was originally to protect artist and authors from the wealthy, but now it seems to have the opposite intent. Im pretty sure that was always the sales pitch and never the intent. Similar to the Patriot act.

There was a previous study that said 47% by 2033: https://fortune.com/2015/04/22/robots-white-collar-ai/ It predates LLMs so they werw predicting that poets and artists would be the last jobs to be autom

Looks really nice. It's a shame it isnt quite there with wayland. I'd definitely use it if it were.

This is what Google is like though. It is practically part of their corporate DNA.

Humans are unreliable compilers but good devs are able to "think outside of the box" in terms of using creative ways to protect against their human foibles while LLMs cant. If I get a nonsensical requirement i push back. If i see

The UN called it a genocide: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/09/israel-has-c... They expressed no opinion about whether the intent on the genocide was due to a culture of racial supremacy. T

I misunderstood nothing. The British establishment attacked the BBC because it wasnt supportive enough of the propaganda produced by a state conducting a Nazi-style genocide (according to the UN). "Hamas propaganda" is simply the

The Israel lobby has a massive amount of power over British politics as does Trump. If there is a lie written about them or even an unsubstantiated truthhood they can both put pressure on and/or punish the people behind it. Exterminate

it spent a little too long excusing and downplaying a nazi style genocide to depict it as having a "slight leftward skew". realistically it generally functions more of a bellwether for what the british elites wants people to think
