First, it isn't a few seconds. It's a few seconds + the time it takes you to review the code to make sure it is correct. Second, in my experience I write the code no slower than the time it takes an LLM + the time to…
I always supported copyright. Your accusation of hypocrisy is misplaced, or at the very least not precise enough because you're not aiming it at a specific person.
I have yet to see any benefit from LLMs. I think "suffering" is apt here.
It has become very clear over the past decade or so that you cannot make truly good software just going off A/B testing. It leads to something which is tolerable to everyone, but not actually good for anyone, and which…
The paid versions aren't actually better than the free ones in that respect. They still make mistakes more often than a human would, and you still have to carefully review what they put out. The only way to get a speed…
Well, for one thing, a human actually understands what he's doing. He isn't just generating something plausible based on statistics. As a result he makes fewer mistakes, can catch his own mistakes, and can learn from…
I've worked at plenty of non-FAANG companies. Only at those companies, in fact. The health care coverage was fine at most of them.
> Other folks, myself included, do feel excluded by "guys" as a gender neutral term. You are reading into the words a message that was never intended, and that is on you, not the speaker.
That may make it slightly better, but that does not make it acceptable. I'm not going to jump to conclusions based only on this one article, but if Proton is indeed culling the workforce of those who are not…
So: no, you do not in fact have any reason to believe that, and you are just assuming it without any evidence.
And math teachers have been correct. So, if anything, that suggests that the parent post is also correct.
> Is it even possible to overstate the impact that Jobs has had on the world? Yes, very easily. He didn't actually make anything, he was a sales guy. It was the engineers who worked around him (Woz in the Apple days,…
While it's true that you can get better performance out of soldered memory than a socket, that's also not why vendors use it. Desktop computers, with their very much not soldered memory, get great performance after all.…
Hang in there as best you can. Contrary to what AI bros on HN claim, LLMs can't actually program worth a damn. In time the deficiency will become too great to ignore, and companies will be replacing their models with…
Yes, it's just laziness. The modal person who goes "look what I made with AI!" is a person who never actually put in the effort to make things before. There are a handful of people who actually have skills and are…
So what? Even if most people don't need to write low-ish level code, the fact remains that there are also many people who do (notably for this discussion, game devs). Should a language not exist to make their lives…
I've been hearing that for years. It's no more true today than it was then.
If you want to find people's vibe coded projects, you have no shortage of places to do that. You have almost the entire rest of the Internet, have fun. For myself, I don't have any interest in someone's project that…
No. Line length and text wrapping restrictions are the devil. If you want smaller width text, resize your browser window rather than making a site that sucks for us who don't want smaller text width.
Vibe coding still doesn't work today.
Yes, that's because the tech sucks, unlike what the AI supporters claim.
Let's be clear: there are no signs of payoff within the tech sector, either. The supposed productivity gains are minimal to non-existent, unless you completely give up on quality. And that's the best case, the one…
> The same cannot be said by GitHub, though. That isn't true. Self hosted Github exists, and has for years now. From what I hear (from a friend who had to administer his company's instance) it's not a good product by…
> This is anecdotal, sure, but if you ask any software developer that isn't staunchly anti-ai or just living with their head in the sand, you'll probably get told something similar. No competent developer is just…
> You don't think AI is capable of putting out CRUD apps into the ether that work reliably? I know it isn't. No model is capable of programming well, let alone writing good software.
