Im running Multipass on M1 for full linux VMs. Are container machines better?

Well, I think there’s some difference between talking to a colleague and taking to your manager (or to your manager’s manager). One cannot talk shit in front of the latter (e.g., “this company sucks”) without fear of being laid off.

It doesn’t help to know that using and supporting private LLMs is only making openai/anthropic/google/etc even richer. I myself cannot justify its usage.

> You are likely to get better results if you do not use the same model for review that wrote the code There’s no evidence of this. I guess you are anthropomorphising models (i.e., it’s good that - different human reviews your code)

But you cannot learn it “once”. You need to continuously use it (over those 30 years, for example) to be proficient at it. It’s not that you can study sql for let’s say, 30 days, and never touch/study it again. I did “learn” sql at un

Not a service, but do you remember Scrum Masters? We had them as full time employees not so long ago. Pure fad.

> Evaluating whether it’s actually correct and maintainable is the hard part. But AI can also do that. So, what’s the point? And if you think it can’t, wait one more year

Wouldn’t that devalue movies, though? For the consumer is great, but for the people in the industry… I guess it doesn’t sound that great?

It’s because people value different things. I could not care less if LLMs make me push code faster to prod. Couldn’t care less if they improve my emails grammar. Couldn’t care less if they crack one unsolved math problem.

Cut by half AI usage. Works wonders. Focus on the good stuff, ignore the rest

Most of software engineering is accidental complexity. Sharding, buffering, caching, load balancing, contention, async, functions, classes, recursion… Big corporations behind LLMs are taking it all.

It’s simpler to just use “review code”. It’s also way cheaper

It certainly makes readability of Go code harder.

The problem is who verifies that the code is good. With AI slop all the effort goes to the reviewer. At least before AI, the effort wasn’t as daunting as it is now (anyone can generate thousands of loc effortlessly)

Do I need to write “coauthored by protoc” when pushing grpc changes? “Coauthored by gofmt” when formatting? “Coauthored by React when using npx create-next-app”? No. So, same goes for ai

I don’t think that’s true based on experience. Maybe “<“ instead of “<<“, yeah. But even in that case, it’s an awful trade off for any serious codebase that needs to be maintained over the years (and you don’t know what LLMs are go
