That's easy. The person who used an LLM to generate the text and then published it as their own without even proofreading it is liable for the text they published.

I've only tried copilot once and this is exactly my experience. I'd write a comment to try to prompt it, then it would keep writing the comment instead of the function. Best I could do was make it write the function as a comment t

Sounds like a great guy. I'm definitely not saying people should talk more than necessary. I generally don't talk much in meetings either unless I'm leading them or if I'm some kind of authority on the given subject like

It's clearly not about that. You can win an argument without being right, the phrase is not win lots of arguments. It's also not about confidence. You can be confidently wrong. Being silent is mostly useless. If you sit through a

Those people are full of shit. I'm Norwegian and a software engineer. Income tax generally tops out at about 46%, if you earn $200k you'll pay around 40%, at $500k you'll pay like 46% or so and it doesnt go much higher than t

I'd say avoiding long lines is one of the most important rules. I regularly have 2-3 files open side by side, I don't want to have to scroll sideways to read the code. 80 characters is a bit on the low end imo but I'd rather

I haven't followed the conflict closely and I'm not in any way trying to say Israel is blameless. However your claims here seem very one-sided. For example I've read about how Israel has been trying to provide aid to Gaza but

I find that hard to believe, but I don't really know anything so I can't dispute you.

So what I'm saying is that if Israel had attempted total eradication they would kill more than 2.5% of them. I also think that if Hamas had the means they would have been happy to totally eradicate Israel, civilians and all, so I can&#

Gaza has a population of over 2 million people, and according to Wikipedia the civilian death toll has been under 50,000. I'm not saying that's not terrible, of course it is. But I'm pretty sure that if Israel wanted to commi

I'm noticing quite a few down votes on this. You should know I based this on Wikipedia, it's pretty much just facts. So if you find yourself reading this and not enjoying the facts, maybe you should reconsider your support for tha

I just assumed it was due to the same stuff that makes the ocean smell like that in certain places/seasons. Rotting organic matter. Maybe it was unfiltered or something like that. Maybe it was just s bad batch. Anyway i use regular Mal

I was referring to the 6th of January 2021 event where a large gathering of Trump followers stormed the capitol. From my understanding that would be by Trump and his followers, against the rest of the United States population/democracy

My SO bought a bag of "natural sea salt" once. It smelled like rotten ocean which should have been enough of a warning but I used it in a dish anyway and that food went to waste. Tasted horrible.

Hard agree on local development. I always make apps run locally and include a readme that describes all the steps for someone else to run it locally as well. Ideally that should be as simple as adding a local app settings file (described in

Can't plan what you dont know. That's the point, you discover/explore what you need in order to make a proper plan.
709.
by sfn42 2y ago
If you keep the first thing you happen to write while exploring I don't think it qualifies as exploration/discovery. Then it's just regular code monkeying.

by sfn42 2y ago
I haven't even read the article but the way I use this is to familiarize myself with new stuff. You can't plan a system when you have no idea how it's going to work. That's why it's called discovery, you just write

Yeah that's pretty much what I told them, except I didn't know how to fix it in the short term. That's kind of my whole point - the "quick fix" took longer than a proper fix would have.

You have a lot of good points and some of it may have been applicable in my case. But this was not complicated. I have underestimated refactors before, this was not one of those times. This was a simple little thing, just getting some data

by sfn42 2y ago
The problem was not that I did not understand the code. I understood it just fine, it wasn't complicated it was just bad and old. All it did was get some data from an api, change it somewhat, store it in a db. Then a scheduled job woul

I once worked on an application that integrated with a third party api. The way it did this was with a large and horrible client library that used a separate db to cache the data. The data was then fetched from the main application and used

That sounds like a nightmare, I'm glad you didn't go home alone.

It certainly isn't bullshit. I take advantage of type systems every day to help me write code that works on the first try. Obviously I'm not saying all my code works on the first try, but it often does even when it's quite co

Highly agree. I've done quite a few large refactors of unnecessarily complex systems that resulted in significant improvement - from lots of bugs to nearly no bugs, incomprehensible code to simple straight forward code, no tests to gre
