Not GP but honestly I don't even spend 10% of my time writing code - even if these tools were perfect code generators that could read my mind (instead of having to prompt) it wouldn't significantly impact my work.

They should be running pre-mortems every morning at this point

Nah don't worry, I'm sure Cyril will setup a commission for this

See what players think about the latest World of Warcraft patch. It's absolutely shit and broken

Crazy to me that the loot tables are still broken for some players/characters, they've tried to fix it several times now, and it's still not working - Since (some) endgame gear can only be obtained this way they've effectively soft locked those players/character out of the endgame.

Context: Some players are always receiving the same drops i.e. a belt. Rather than a varied loot table that gives them a chance to get items they need.

I prefer the old name, it was much more memorable because it's funny.

"Yeah I'm playing with my Coq to try and get it working again"

This is probably the most insane take I've read all year. As though an LLMs don't have an increased chance to bork code when they have to write it multiple times for different platforms - even LLM users benefit from the existence of libraries that handle cross platform, low level implementation details and expose high level apis.

A while loop, some prompts basically amounting to "this is how you format a system call" and "make no mistakes", there's also a regex + executor for detecting and executing system calls.

Look at the JWT standard, it usually contains things like claims, roles, user ids, etc.

If a consultant made the same mistakes I'd expect the consultant to be held accountable, not the client business that hired the consultancy - they knew they didn't have the requisite skills and so outsourced to an "expert" (and therefore can't be judged for not knowing how to secure their software since they did everything possible)

In this case the "client" is fully liable for the security issues.

Well, I have something to tell you about the last decade+ of EU immigration policy

This is my take too - LLMs aren't an excuse to lower our standards, they're the reason to raise them.

Put simply LLMs perform better on better code.

I think what matters more than the abstract class vs if statement dichotomy, is how well something maps the problem domain/data structures and flows.

Sure maybe its fast to write that simple if statement, but if it doesn't capture the deeper problem you'll just keep running head first into edge cases - whereas if you're modelling the problem in a good way it comes as a natural extension/interaction in the code with very little tweaking _and_ it covers all edge cases in a clean way.

Seems to have been removed, I'm getting a 404

No need to make it easier though

At that point you lose all potential gains from just using AI - it's harder and slower to read and understand a bunch of verbose slop and then clean it up

Not OP but I hold myself to that standard, and the honest answer is that at best it's the same.

and post the original along with the translation

this so many times - it's so incredibly handy to have the original message from the author, for one I may speak or understand parts of that language and so have an easier time understanding the intent of the translated text. For another I can cut and translate specific parts using whatever tools I want, again giving me more context about what is trying to be communicated.

Seems strange, for decades we allowed developers to use what made them comfortable, you like notepad? go ahead and use it. Don't want an LSP? that's fine disable it.

So long as their productivity was on par with the rest of the team there was no issue.

Suddenly, everyone needs to use this new tool (which we haven't proven to actually be effective) and if you don't you don't belong in the industry.

- Ones who see it generated something bad, and realise it'd be faster to just hand fix the issues than babysit an LLM

Yep willing to bet that the majority of people saying "users don't care how well the code is written" will crash out when some software they're using is slow and buggy, even more extremely if it glitches and deletes their work.

Just like how most people don't care how well a bridge is designed... until it collapses.

Same, although I actually remember enjoying this particular poem in class.

I thought this was going to be the amazing atheist banana clip, was pleasantly surprised to be reminded of this instead

Simple. Don't produce slop then.

If it offends you so much that people call your work as it is, you should do better work, grow some thicker skin, or stop.

South African food actually has this in abundance, biltong is like beef jerky but better in almost every conceivable way - not to mention all the other variants of it for example dry stix, droevors, etc.

Not to say we don't also have other sweet snacks, but compared to other places I've been nowhere quite has the same level of "savory" snacks

Don't really have anything to add but I do want to say you're not alone - I feel very similarly about AI tooling, the level of satisfaction I get from using them (none), the need for interesting technical challenges, etc. etc.

The raw idea is the only part of this text I found interesting.

Seems you don't like it much when the shoe is on the other foot
