    This wouldn't be a problem so long as they properly attribute.

    Because the majority of executives think AI is a magical black box, I’d reckon.

    I have to wonder if there is a relation to the rising prevalence of coding LLMs.

    The main premise of this article is that SPA frameworks are primarily about transitions. This is yet another passionate argument built on a false foundation.

    The overarching problem is that signal:noise ratio in contemporary discussions of AI is absurdly low. This is thanks in large part to a media complex whose primary goal seems to be…

    > rise of IDEs, or Google search, or AWS. None of these things introduced the risk of directly breaking your codebase without very close oversight. If LLMs can surpass that hurdle,…

    You can pre-agree on a solution path with human engineers too, with a similar effect.

    Let’s not conflate LLM’s with AI. LLM’s are a kind of AI that can be a software engineer’s assistant, at best. But the degree of hype is undermining belief in AI among many profess…

    That’s weird. Why is the data from the unconnected databases of test companies in a single place?

    As expected, shallow analysis from people who don’t understand our craft and/or are all too happy to feed a hype train.

    Human experts set the benchmarks and LLM’s cannot match them in most (maybe any?) fields requiring sophisticated judgment. They are very useful for some things, but sophisticated j…

    The hype levels are so overwhelming that AI coding could never hope to meet them. I've tried having a highly-ranked AI coding app write unit tests for a relatively complex codebase…
