    What happened to "I don't know" or "I'm not sure"? Why do you need to direct someone to ask an LLM? If somebody asks me a question I don't know the answer to I'm not sending them a…

    My first thought was that they have several people who seem like they'll expect very serious compensation but no actual product, then I noticed they already seem to have a whole bu…

    I have yet to see someone explain why they even needed an LLM to figure out what's going on, other than further proliferating this industry AI psychosis. Are their engineers actual…

    You literally need two or three mouse buttons for a FPS game. This argument might have worked if you said MMO because there’s a million abilities you can use but there’s absolutely…

    The link talks about more than just SQL injection. SQL injection can be fully mitigated using prepared statements. They were the solution 15 years ago when I was getting started wi…

    Do you need a 7-second TikTok summary?

    The GitHub statistics for the project this website represents are insane. It has a sole author that has averaged approximately 20,000 lines of code every week in the past month. Ho…

    I’ve never gone through a paid training course that wasn’t a complete waste of time. It’s at the point where people at work know there isn’t even a point in offering these to me. “…

    I'm going to be honest with you, I never even considered that the pinnacle of enterprise software would have a public issue tracker (do they?). If something doesn't work the way I …

    No, just relative within the repo. Some repositories just happen to have a very deep folder structure.

    GitLab could be the perfect case study on AI-powered efficiency improvements. I have never interacted with a piece of software that, for every single problem I found, there was an …

    My colleague had a problem with commit messages, so now they're all written by AI. I don't know what depth of hell he managed to get the prompt from, but they're all now in the for…

    There is simply no chance that LLMs are saving you 30 hours of work a week, especially if they're doing something where you'd have to do the research yourself. Either you're just s…

    Are you ashamed of other people finding out you used Claude? I think the co-authored-by bit should not be a setting at all, AI-generated code should be clearly identified.

    I'm sorry but none of this sounds in any way exciting or like a breakthrough. There are ASML machines that hit microscopic tin particles with a laser 50,000 times per second, but i…

    Is this a joke? You proclaim your support for a party that proudly posts AI-generated pictures of Obama as a monkey, shits out vitriol-filled messages on literally every holiday, a…

    Because if it’s not an LLM it’s not good for the current hype cycle. Calling everything AI makes the line go up.

    I spend probably thousands of hours in Firefox every year and I don't think I've ever had it crash.

    The comment perfectly exemplifies the kind of person that would work at OpenAI. Government AI drones could be executing citizens in the streets but they’d still find some sort of c…

    This is mostly an issue with German cars. A lower-end Skoda comes standard with features that would cost half the car's price if optioned on a Mercedes.
