And according to Google, they always delete data if requested. And according to Meta, they always give you ALL the data they have on you when requested.

Sorry what? "You can't measure my Cloud Service's performance correctly if my servers are overloaded"? "Oh, you just measured me at bad times each day. On only 50 different queries." So, what does that mean? I

God damnit...that definitely deserves the upvote.

If it's the "usual reply", maybe it's because....I dunno...water is kinda important?

Vibe coding to the max. Forcing employees to use it and that’s the large scale result. Cause it’s garbage. Hands down on large scale it just doesn’t work. Especially on something the scale of an operating system. There will be the usual dow

“No blockchain” != “centralized” Mastodon ain’t a blockchain and isn’t centralized.

Is wasting massive fucktons of water and electricity an identity thing? Is it identity that RAM now costs 10x what it used to?

The annoying part is that AI is getting shoved down every throat it can find. It's Blockchain and NFTs all over again.

Aren't we all tired by this pro-AI stuff? Use it if you wanna ruin the planet. Don't use it if you care about maintaining skill. I just don't really wanna hear about your pro-AI peddling anymore.

I tried. Several times. Just quick prompting, full agentic, and all I see as a result is mostly garbage to be honest. Not even talking about the atrophy one would get skill-wise by relying on AI tools all the time.

Just because it feels faster or are you actually satisfied with the code that is being churned out? And what about long term prospects of maintaining said code?
133.
by rootnod3 9mo ago
Definitely FOMO. I have tried it once or twice and saw absolutely zero value in it. I will stick to writing the code by hand, even if it's "boring" parts. If I have to sit down and review it anyway, I can also go and write it

Sorry, so the tool is now even circumventing human review? Is that the goal? So the agent can now merge shit by itself? Just the let damn thing push nto prod by itself at this point.

I keep reading these pro LLM articles. And I keep thinking that it is abysmal. Sure, for now it works, because there are senior engineers that refine the rough edges and know what's going on. And especially some folks keep claiming tha

Yes. Unfortunately it seems that Matrix is the winner, but I think Matrix is over-engineered. XMPP was nice. Especially in the old times when Google Hangouts and Facebook Chat were also XMPP based. Being able to talk to people on another se

That has to be the worst analogy I have read in a while, and I’m HN that says something.

Sounds more like just adding a ton of wasted time for the reviewer to read through those discussions. At least summarize it yourself, e.g. "After discovering manpage XYZ, it became clear that the correct usage of this function is fooBa

The only future I see is that prompts will become so refined that you give them all the requirements an they write the code for ya. And that prompt language has to be unambiguous and so detailed that you loop around and re-invented a progra

I am not contesting that stackoverflow isn't bad in many regards, but to equate that to massive PRs or code changes done via AI slop is a different level. At worst, you might get a page or two out of stack overflow but still need to st

by rootnod3 10mo ago
Another difference: stack overflow tells you you are wrong or tells you and do your own research or to read the manual (which in a high percentage of cases is the right answer). It doesn't tell you that you are right and proceeds to ha

Difference: companies are not pushing their employees to use stack overflow. Stack overflow doesn't waste massive amounts of water and energy. Stack overflow does not easily abuse millions of copyrights in a second by scraping without

Sorry, but why would including the prompt in the pull request make any difference? Explain what you DID in the pull request. If you can't summarize it yourself, it means you didn't review it yourself, so why should I have to do it

It's not a problem for the senior dev directly, but maybe down the road. And it definitely is a problem for the company once said senior dev leaves or retires. Seriously, long term thinking went out the window long time ago, didn'

Ok, now assume you start relying on it and let's assume cloud flare has another outage. You just go and clock out for the day saying "can't work, agent is down"? I don't think we'll be out of jobs. Maybe tempor
