I'm very skeptical of that graph. What does it mean for code to be AI-generated vs human-generated? If I merge a PR that was opened by Claude do all the changes in it automatically…

The crazy thing is how cheap it is to spin up a cloud server, but how little actual processing power you're getting for your money. Even if the business manages to keep their cloud…

Isn't it also true that the deeper and thicker the quagmire, the more tokens one will have to use to wade through it? This seems like a path to eventual LLM lock-in once the codeba…

I don't think there are good analogies to physical tools. It would be something like a nondeterministic version of a replicator from Star Trek which to me would feel much closer to…

Lots of hair splitting in the comments. The service is so unreliable at this point that I don’t trust them to not train on private repos even accidentally. You’re one vibe-coded PR…

I can't even imagine what these exams would look like. The entire profession seems to boil down to making the appropriate tradeoffs for your specific application in your specific d…

Results over time are important. Or at least they should be.

Interested to see how this plays out. ESPN is the only reason I subscribe to YouTubeTV.

Exactly! All LLMs do is “hallucinate”. Sometimes the output happens to be right, same as a broken clock.

I blame the experts. It's their responsibility to explain things to the public and engage in forums that the public is paying attention to (e.g. podcasts). They don't have to blovi…

Yeah I definitely struggle with this. You need downtime to relax but it's easy to "over relax" just like it's easy to oversleep or overeat or overdo any other number of things that…

This is the first time I've heard anyone argue that a food product must be good for you because Americans are consuming a large amount of it. How on earth could you come to that co…

Have you ever tried the LeetCode live competitions? I found those to be really fun with a great community. Just grinding problems in isolation can definitely be depressing.

I agree generally, but I feel like we're slowly coming to realize that maximal leisure and safety might not necessarily be the recipe for a happy and fulfilling life.

No dark mode? Seriously?

That's exactly what we do now.

Did the site owner remove the malicious ads since this was posted? I wanted my report to count so I didn't use the link in the blog post and instead googled for "notepad++ download…

Yup, I remember when I got a loaner car that had those new momentary switches and I couldn't believe how terrible they were. What made it all the more baffling/disappointing was th…

Well that's unfortunate and exactly what Apple was trying to protect their users from.

For me at least it's about the ergonomics of the microphone form factor. I'm not comfortable with a standalone mic in front of my face. I don't like having to remember to keep the …

There's some good advice here but I take issue with this statement: > I used to ask ‘tell me one of the SOLID principle you strongly agree or disagree with’ but I had to stop becau…

Thank you for sharing this and for providing explicit instructions during your interviews. It's confusing and awkward when the interviewers set it up as a casual conversation. Ther…

The pictures are strange but the OP neglected to notice the captions which make the intent much more clear: https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/1ap1345/...
