We're living in such a stupid time.

Yup. I can expect an llm to write proper code to update an hashmap or update a db, but ffs the amount of race conditions, use after free and general concurrency issues I found on c…

They have tokens to spend and managers are mentally ill and want AI in everything

Google is gasping hard for any meaningul AI use

Good, it was a piece of bad software not to call other things. Who though it was a good idea?

All that snark and you're still wrong, fiber is very important OP is correct

The ones who get bothered when someone takes a firm stance against their (HN) beliefs I've seen the likes on the codeberg posts as well

That comment section is filled with HN types

You people really have rotten morals

You know also what was the biggest help for these companies? All the data they scrapped from the internet, the books they torrented, the open source projects whose licenses they di…

I worked with mid level devs that would write 5 lines of code (literally) and run it through an llm for validation, so yeah they were spending tokens like crazy. They end up being …

Exactly. At my previous work we spent an awful amount of time planning and architecting the solutions and refining them. No matter the person who prompted or the model used, the so…

This person and company are disgusting. Engineers should grow a backbone and stop supporting anything related to Anthropic

So all the blog posts, every 10s on HN, shilling for Anthropic are not ads but this is?

Yes this is a typical case of showing results fast. I wonder what the cost for the remaining 10℅ of debugging and fixing all the bloat will be. Not so cheap I am guessing

Yes exactly. The mids of my previous team where submitting PRs that at first glance looked good, well documented and with a very clean and professional English. As you started pull…

I detest this compiler analogy so much: llms are non deterministic by nature, compilers should not and are not

And the team (AI) is really not that smart. Just very fast at pasting and gobling stack overflow and github repos together

Absolutely mirrors my experience and wants

And they are still crap at generating code. At my previous company they have a series of smoke tests for models mostly focused on performance and architecture. I'm still on the tea…

GPLv2 s far from being neutral

What? Free software was never neutral. You think Stallman and Torvalds did what they did because they were neutral? If I dont like the direction an open source project is taking an…

Providers should host whatever they feel like hosting. Models were nost likely trained on stolen content, so not allowing vibecoded is taking a stance in favour of free software. Y…

Yes, many years ago in college we would describe HN as "reddit with a college degree". The same " echo chamber" arguments, but more snob and with less spine

It's HN. They like to think they are better than reddit, but in the end this site is a huge echo box, and any outlier causes these reactions, particularly when it's something or so…
