But does such longevity equate to an strong, energetic life? Considering how protein intake relates to muscle and bone mass, wouldn't one rather live a little less, yet strong and …

But if so, then where is the secret prompt sauce for getting those results, please? It's not like we complainers don't read and put in practice all we can about how to refine a spe…

This.

Sure, but the original comment was more like “flawed solution that exists” vs “decent solution that exists”, wasn't it? That is: vibe-coding can't replace developers yet, not even …

I definitely hope so!

P.S. Again, it all boils down to AGI not being with us yet. I guesstimate that AI writes at least 95% of my code, but given how often LLMs come up with inefficient or ineffective s…

Mmm... People may overlook a glitch here and there, but judging by reviews on app stores, it seems to me that people get very annoyed when things break, especially when it happens …

Sure, but how confident can they be that it doesn't also do things they don't want? Tests can't be exhaustive, whereas even a mediocre developer is likely to possess enough backgro…

Indeed. I'm trying to develop a similar style. The phrasing in the quoted passage is really tight.

Yes, C# is becoming more and more complex, but IMO C++ is still in a class of its own. Just compare how many different, sometimes competing ways there are to initialize variables i…

Not really. C++ is on another level altogether: the code could be calling implicit conversion operators, the compiler could have instantiated some template code in an unforeseen wa…

In my experience, yes. AFAICS, LLMs never think out of the box, and are heavily influenced by the way you ask questions.

So, Greenspun's Tenth Rule seems to have come full circle: now, "Any sufficiently complicated Coalton program contains an ad hoc, slow implementation of half of OCaml." ;) I've lef…

Would you mind sharing your HW configuration? Thank you.

You forgot the 10 levels of precedence and the 3 associativity options for operators ;)

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

With the crucial difference that now you have some leeway in firing one/some of your bosses.
