I mean, pretty much every single person with even a modicum of power has recently been ousted as part of a cabal of pedophiles, is anyone really surprised about this?

I thought coding was already solved by Claude? Why aren't you vibe coding something that isn't dogshit with your fancy little Code Solver?

They're creating blogposts that try to character assassinate OSS maintainers that refuse the AI slop PRs in their repos. Next up I assume it'll be some form of mass scam, probably a crypto s…

The next hyped bullshit de jure spewing out of the ass of the AI bros, cause the hype cycle on agents is starting to die down. Can't have 30 billion dollar circular deals while setting aflame bar…

> Boris said that writing code is a solved problem. No way, the person selling a tool that writes code says said tool can now write code? Color me shocked at this revelation. Let's check in on…

Interesting, I've actually found swearing at the dumbass bots to give better results, might just be the catharsis of telling it it's a dumbass though.

I work for one of those enterprises with lots of people trying out AI (thankfully leadership is actually sane, no mandates that you have to use it, just giving devs access to experiment with the too…

First off, the UK isn't in the EU, and 2nd, not a single website is blocked for me here in the Netherlands, quite literally none. I can access Discord without an ID, I can watch all the porn I wa…

> Well you or anyone else can't do that... But that's what these tools are doing, in a large number of cases? At least the end result is basically the same, like that Clawdbot or whatever…

I genuinely fail to see the usefulness, though, it seems counterproductive to me to do this kinda stuff. In my experience I just throw out the whole chat/session as soon as I notice it's sta…

I really hate that the anthropomorphizing of these systems has successfully taken hold in people's brains. Asking it why it did something is completely useless because you aren't interrogati…

Most of these AI-guiding "techniques" seem more like reading into tea leaves to me than anything actually useful. Even with the latest and greatest (because I know people will reflexively im…

I'd estimate we're near a million LoC (will double check tomorrow, but wouldn't be surprised if it was over that to be honest). Huge monorepo, ~1500 engineers, all sorts of bespoke/…

I look through the backlog for my team consisting of 9 trillion ill-defined (if defined at all) tickets that tells you basically nothing. The large, overwhelming majority of my team's time is spe…

That just means your legal team is lazy or incompetent. I work for a massive company that handles extremely sensitive PII and we don't have a cookie banner, because we don't need to have a c…

We were literally not given the choice in the matter, in the case of $JOB. Plenty of people complained about having to use their phones to access the buildings, but that was the policy. I suspect the …
