When you try to explain how “rubber ducking” works to someone with an MBA…

This guy knows his stuff

This.

Back in the day this is how the internet worked. Every forum host was just some guy or girl hosting a platform so they coukd build a community with the people and hobbies they love.

We need to go back closer to that world. The fediverse bridges the gap between the centralized experience, and decentralized management.

Optimistically, it’s the best of both worlds.

I don’t think censorship has ever worked. We should make a deal about it, expose the Nazis, and knee them in the nuts.

Yup. It was bought as a tool to disrupt the next election. In that respect, it’s a hell of a good buy.

Buffalonian bison that other Buffalonian bison bully also bully Buffalonian bison.

Wild card is on the wrong side of the /tmp argument

He intentionally chose it because his kids really liked the game. He didn’t know what it was about, but he wanted to leave legacy of a fun movie to his children when he was gone (he had already known the diagnosis at that point).

So he literally did it for his kids.

Musk is on the trump mushroom dick train because he’s afraid he’s going to get indicted, and trump has already offered him a full pardon.

This makes too much sense to not be true.

It stopped during covid and never started back up

I’m pretty sure that’s SCA, not HEMA

Porn POV

He has praised certain Democratic policies, opposed some core Republican policies like the 2017 tax cuts, and supported higher taxes for businesses and individuals without children.

Yeah, that’s not going to happen.

This is incorrect. And I’m in the industry. In this specific field. Nobody in my industry, in my field, at my level, seriously considers this effective enough to replace their day to day coding beyond generating some boiler plate ELT/ETL type scripts that it is semi-effective at. It still contains multiple errors 9 times out of 10.

I cannot be more clear. The people who are claiming that this is possible are not tenured or effective coders, much less X10 devs in any capacity.

People who think it generates quality enough code to be effective are hobbyists, people who dabble with coding, who understand some rudimentary coding patterns/practices, but are not career devs, or not serious career devs.

If you don’t know what you’re doing, LLMs can get you close, some of the time. But there’s no way it generates anything close to quality enough code for me to use without the effort of rewriting, simplifying, and verifying.

Why would I want to voluntarily spend my day trying to decypher someone else’s code? I don’t need chatGPT to solve a coding problem. I can do it, and I will. My code will always be more readable to me than someone else’s. This is true by orders of magnitude for AI-code gen today.

So I don’t consider anyone that considers LLM code gen to be a viable path forward, as being a serious person in the engineering field.

They’re falling for a hype train then.

I work in the industry. With several thousand of my peers every day that also code. I lead a team of extremely talented, tenured engineers across the company to take on some of the most difficult challenges it can offer us. I’ve been coding and working in tech for over 25 years.

The people who say this are people who either do not understand how AI (LLMs in this case) work, or do not understand programming, or are easily plied by the hype train.

We’re so far off from this existing with the current tech, that it’s not worth seriously discussing.

There are scripts, snippets of code that vscode’s llm or VS2022’s llm plugin can help with/bring up. But 9 times out of 10 there’s multiple bugs in it.

If you’re doing anything semi-complex it’s a crapshoot if it gets close at all.

It’s not bad for generating psuedo-code, or templates, but it’s designed to generate code that looks right, not be right; and there’s a huge difference.

AI Genned code is exceedingly buggy, and if you don’t understand what it’s trying to do, it’s impossible to debug because what it generates is trash tier levels of code quality.

The tech may get there eventually, but there’s no way I trust it, or anyone I work with trusts it, or considers it a serious threat or even resource beyond the novelty.

It’s useful for non-engineers to get an idea of what they’re trying to do, but it can just as easily send them down a bad path.

Even so, he’s wrong. This is the kind of stupid thing someone without any first hand experience programming would say.

These two groups deserve each other.

And we know this because…?

Always has been. Religion is the single biggest reason to not believe in religion.
