I'd readily agree that they may be (probably are?) utterly unaware of what they're doing, with no spark of sapience. However, I'm a sapient being employed as a software developer f…

You have channeled a great deal of my anxiety, stress, anger, and sorrow with this comment. Every day at my job I search for a chance to write some fragment of code by hand, a plac…

I'm an agnostic, but the closest thing I've seen to consistent success in producing wise, selfless people are mystical spiritual experiences. Even they are not very reliable. The d…

Likewise. I still remember being upset when the news broke that the port had been dropped.

I sometimes wonder what the timeline where Bungie didn't write the Myth II uninstaller-can-wipe-your-hard-drive bug would look like. IIUC, the fact that they reprinted all the disc…

Thank you!

I've been (grudgingly) using Claude since February. When I started, I discovered to my shock that it was by far the worst TUI I had ever touched. Rendering glitches, keyboard input…

Yes, they are. They may be doing a poor job of it - time will tell. But, at present, they're still the ones merging PRs and deploying changes to production.

As far as I can tell, yes, the workflow is "assume the LLM can fix it." I've certainly seen people on this site defend that idea vociferously. I won't tell you it's impossible - Cl…
