This was a really good article. I typically code with Sonnet or Opus, but I'm going to start using Codex to review local changes before I do a PR. It does a great job at identifyin…

Actually, based on a google search apparently LLMs don't parse code into ASTs.

I suppose if you stored the code in ASTs and the LLMs all have to parse the code into ASTs when analyzing it, you could make it more efficient for them to work on code?

Don't worry, Grok will break the picket line and come in as a scab. Elon would fuck his mother for a nickel.

You forgot about crypto, 3D printing and games with virtual real estate.

Nitrogen.

If you don't use Excel (or Google Sheets in my case) it's my favorite way to do financial calculations because you can easily customize contribution amounts or withdrawals in certa…

I personally have settled in working at big companies, where expectations are really not that high of anyone. While I'm still highly productive at work, I don't go 100% as it will …

I've had the opposite experience, but keep in mind that a lot of what gets worked on in large companies is glorified legacy CRUD apps. What I mean is, these applications have alrea…

The people saying that AI can't write "their" code are probably the same engineers that work for FAANG and write like 10 lines of code a month.

Just need to retire the us-east-1 region, it's becoming a meme at this point.

I find that my usage varies based on a cycle of: 1) Using the LLM like crazy to help refactor code, extract components for re-use to speed up things in the long run 2) The refactor…

Very good article. I feel that corporate executives as a class are causing this huge mess from a simple lack of understanding of software engineering. Throw more bodies at the prob…

I’ve never used Next.js. To be honest, Express has always gotten the job done without too much hassle. In theory, what are the benefits of using Next.js over Express?

I think you meant a slop machine

It’s almost like the LLMs are simply a glorified autocomplete and have no actual understanding of anything they’re doing. Huh weird!

I would like to posit that it’s actually JSX that people like and not React. JSX was always the friend that she told you not to worry about.

Rust is starting to feel like those people calling about your car’s extended warranty.

The biggest scam in AI is Salesforce. They’re going to take some crappy model that they made or simply switch to a better open source model. Then they’re going to make a large deal…

While I do find llm’s useful, it’s mostly for simple and repetitive tasks. In my opinion, they aren’t actually coding anything and have no amount of understanding. They are simply …

Docker can be a huge pain I agree. But as a senior dev that’s had half their career before docker and half after docker, it’s totally worth it and lets you avoid much worse pain.

Lol I love the sentiment! If I could get double I would definitely go this route. But my goal is to get this contract, work hard and hopefully get the full-time offer after a time.…

Thank you. Based on the numbers this is a really helpful way to look at things.

I'm in the Midwest and I've found a Principal Software Engineer that is interested in hiring me as an hourly contractor. I've worked for this team before as a Lead Software Develop…
