It’s like running a blender twice

Just muscles / tendons / organs getting a little tangled usually

Software quality apocalypse continues to worse ( the bar was already low )

What do you mean by “imperial” variables I’ve never heard of this

People often frame themselves the hero

Quick ≠ good

I literally never said I was vegan or vegetarian. I literally said I’d eat any carnivore lol. Why are you freaking out.

Deer and cows are opportunistic carnivore but it’s not a major source of nutrients like it is for other animals and they generally don’t choose to unless there’s and issue.

It’s not like a academic resource but it’s not like deer are out here hunting down bunnies bro.

How is it vegan / Vegetarian to go “I’m only going to eat predator species”

Fish, birds, rodents etc do eat insects and other animals as major parts of their diets.

Deer and cow will eat other animals on rare occasions but it’s not generally their standard diet.

I’ve resolved recently that I can only eat animals the will seek out and kill other animals / bugs for food under standard conditions. So no cows, deer. Etc but turkey, chicken, fish all on the table

Bacteria and plants are far game because they have no nervous system.

Slop is slop, AI slop < human slop.

All your doing is advertising how much you don’t respect your work or the work of others.

Code is the app, code is the functionality. If the code is crap then so is the functionality.

You’ve made a tool with a loose handle. And axe with a crack in they head. It’s gonna fly off and hurt someone.

Just because you are a crappy programmer doesn’t mean everyone else is.

There is nothing wrong with open source. Your opened source code just sucks.

Idk what to tell you besides to take a long critical look at yourself and your work.

If you can’t write manually and have it not be slop then you can’t program with a LLM effectively.

It doesn’t matter how much instruction you give a LLM it fundamentally cannot evaluate itself. Because to ensure that it’s evaluating correctly either you need to evaluate it or someone else. These are not deterministic machines and will “lie” to reach their goals. And I put that in quotes because it’s not really lying that’s to much personification.

These things are not good for literally anything beyond minor transformation or boilerplate.

Trust me. If you actually spend the time learning to code well written software by hand you will save time and get a better result. LLMs based coding is a anti-pattern.

You’re not getting push back because “programmers a upset their jobs are getting stolen” you’re getting push back because your falling for LLM company propaganda. LLMs just are not there yet.

If more then 20% of your code is written by a LLM your using it wrong.

Furiosa is a masterpiece I love every bit of it. It’s in my top 10 favorite movies in my lifetime

I’ve read some other comments and wanted to add.

You cannot use a LLM to verify its own work

They have no ability to think. Any intelligence they have is extremely limited. There a mostly automatic copy and paste machines. They pull code from their training data and online and attempt to compose the.

Using a LLM to verify its own work is like asking a criminal to run their own trial.

That’s just now any of this works. I think you should take a step back from the LLM and really start evaluating your work more critically. There is more to software then “it works!”

look I’m all for using LLMs for tedious or straight forward transformations of easily verifiable logic. The issue is they LLMs are sycophantic by nature and we are seeing a lot of newly freed “geniuses” who have promised “no no no. You see! I know the secret to using them for good!”

It’s like the one ring. If you start using it for doing anything beyond reformating, anything that requires critical thinking, you’ve already trapped yourself.

You’ll feel like your work is quality when it isn’t.

Personally I still think the quality of LLM code is crap for pretty much anything. Much better done by a well seasoned developer, which is harder to come by then people think. A LLM can help in some narrow cases but not many.

I use it for tedious transformations or needle ones haystack problems.

They are better at searching for themes or concepts then they are at actually doing any “thinking tasks”. My rule is that if requires a lot of critical thinking then the LLM can do it.

It’s definitely not all they say it is. I think LLMs will fundamentally always have these problems.

I’ve actually had a much better time using it for in line completion as if recent. It’s much better when the scope of the problem it needs to “solve” ( the code it needs to find and compose to complete your line ) is like the Goldilocks zone. And if the answer it gives is bad I just keep typing.

I really hate the way LLM vibe coded slop is written and architecture. To me is clear these things have extremely limited conception. I’ve compared it to essentially ripping out the human language center, giving it a keyboard and asking it to program for you. It’s just no really what it’s good at.

It’s all I see slop enthusiasts go off of

They are easy and effective

The biggest problem with this atleast for me is that I see people with decades of experience who still have awful taste.

They ran into an issue, learned either nothing Or the wrong thing from it and moved on.

I was mostly kidding (mostly)
