    Many great products run on very sloppy code actually

    Have you heard about the concept of refactoring? AI is also good at that! ;)

    Comment #48869959

    Yes you're right. It's that most programmers are so identified with the code, that now with AI they feel their whole identity is stolen, while indeed, being a developer is more tha…

    None of what you say is characteristic of "the right" either. But the things I'm pointing out prove the points I'm making. Please try to understand. There's corruption everywhere, …

    Ok, so you're basically saying that the AI-generated code does it's job, but when you actually review it you think the way it does it's job is not as it should, and if you get into…

    That's the corruption part I guess

    And so you experience that AI generated code, even on lower levels, is not good enough for you to be more productive?

    Comment #48841924

    Well I think the reasoning of coding agents on lower levels is good enough for me that I don't have to constantly be involved with it, only occasionally have to dive in and help ou…

    People on the right would tell you that the left are using ethicality to hijack politics and push through corrupt agendas. There's probably a lot of truly ethical left people, but …

    The right would tell you the left's ethicality is often fake and corrupt, and the right at least tries to be moral. There's something to that, but I think there's corruption on bot…

    People on the right say the same about the left

    But ultimately you got into this craft to solve a problem. That is how the craft developed. And when you build a very complex elaborate system, it can still have interesting techni…

    It must be something to do with Microsoft being the owner now of GitHub

    I just say "refactor the codebase" and that also works pretty good! I have my code styling rules in my CLAUDE.md already anyway

    Why not just fix the code before you make a new feature? Or is that what you mean? Only you automatically fix the code on every prompt?

    What's "normal" really? You could argue the climate has never actually been normal, or it always has been and always will

    Indeed, climate change won't end; it never has and it never will, the climate always changes.

    Send it in an attachment over Telegram or something and open that on your watch?

    Also I find it interesting to learn the jargon. It basically compacts information in fewer words, although more complex words. But when you are familiar with the jargon, you can un…

    Maybe it's not more trouble pumping, eh, sucking water up. But that the top branches are the last ones to get water in periods of draught, and have therefore more resilience?

    “Trees contain lots of thin, hollow vessels and they suck water upwards by creating low pressure at the top,” So sucking / pulling?

    In what sense exactly? Apart from that they caught a high-level criminal in a questionable way?
