Most of those "skits" can be done on a cheap camera with a single person being the actor. In fact, many such videos existed already in the past. Also, they're painfully unoriginal. They…

Because the marketing started with "This is literally the singularity and will take over everything and everyone's jobs". Then people realized that was BS, so the marketing moved on to …

That first PR (115733) would make me quit after a week if we were to implement this crap at my job and someone forced me to babysit an AI in its PRs in this fashion. The others are also rough. A wall …

LLMs can't even not write React when you explicitly tell them not to write React in your Vue codebase. I still, with Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude 3.7 both, get this annoying ass interaction almost…

I mean I wish I could stay, but companies are greedy and refuse to give out decent raises or promotions regardless of your contributions. The only real way to make more money is to hop between jobs, a…

Yeah it's my favourite argument. Apparently this magical tool that can replace engineers and can do and write anything needs you to write prompts so detailed that you could have just written the …

Well sure, but it's one thing to have a flow like - Go to nike.com - Select shoe, select size - Order - Shoe size data is only used for this 1 purchase and never stored or used again unless the u…

There's lots of ways to address it, depends on what the feature is. There's always ways you can spin it, like going the technical route: "That would require a new column which would add…

If this is what "growth" looks like, I'm good with stagnation.

As the other commenter that replied to you said, any data on EU citizens is subject to GDPR and has to be respected. Of course, enforcing that outside of EU borders is a different issue and one I don&…

You mean the same Meta and their ads and data collection that have been directly and indisputably linked to literal, actual Genocides? And teen suicides? And Cambridge Analytica? Oh, but they shuffled…

> Especially with LLMs on the horizon, this would be tantamount to unilateral nuclear disarmament. We should also be hoping for unilateral nuclear disarmament (I get your point on the infeasability…

IMO data should be radioactive for companies, especially if it approaches PII. Companies should be forced into thinking deeply about every single bit of data they collect from people, and they should …

Man I thought I was crazy for a bit there. At work I've had some people hyping up their MCP stuff, and after looking at the docs I was bewildered by what I was reading, it was clear AI slop with …
comment
I've seen the books as to how much we spend on all the various AI shit. I can guarantee, that at least in our co, that AI is a massive waste of money. But it doesn't really matter, because t…

As a hobby rubyist, pretty terrible compared to Typescript. I suspect it's also that there's less Ruby in the training sata, but Ruby being so dynamic and ducktypable means it produces some …

I have my work project loaded on my home PC, and to be fair it's a beast of a PC, but still it's insane how much power is wasted on the work macbook from the stupid MDM software running on…
comment
You'd think with all these super hyper advanced AI tools they're shitting out they would be able to make a mediocre VSCode extension of their own instead of flushing 3B down the drain. Guess…

As someone whose family fled from the ex-socialist state of Yugoslavia (well I guess the state itself was socialist, and the ex- part applies to the country itself, but you get what I mean) - who is v…

Lmaoing at their casual use of AGI as if them or any of their competitors are anywhere near it.

My resume is just a chunk of HTML with `size: A4`, takes literally seconds to update it as it's just simple HTML and the "export" process is just ctrl+p in any browser and saving as PDF…

> 3. Will it have historical significance in 10 years time? I mean, almost by definition there's basically no way of knowing this right? A picture of a mountainside with nothing interesting go…

We had a town hall type of thing recently with some of our investors, and some of the answers they gave were hilarious, if it weren't so depressing that those people are the ones with most of the…

Are people on this site just stuck in the 90s or something? The product I work on is nowhere near Figma or Google Docs level of complexity, but we're still MILES away from "just rendering …

We still have Vue 2 apps running strong. Our experimental stuff is on Vue 3, which is backwards compatible with Vue 2 for the most part if you avoided mixins (which even in the Vue 2 days was the comm…

The very first word you see on the .NET foundation page [1] is "INDEPENDENT" in giant lettering. Also, at least on my screen, funnily enough Jetbrains has a bigger logo at the bottom than MS…
