funny enough if you spent just a few minutes with a LLM working on the design of your website it wouldn't look like complete shit.
wdym?
looks like a normal html-only website to me

#42Git annex is a remarkable piece of software and I've been inspired by lead developer joeyh's approach to both FOSS and life. For example:

#44Earlier quoted context omitted.
They will absolutely be missed, maybe not by any individual but the impact of them leaving will be felt. People willing to go to bat for code quality and who are also careful about copyright and the community aspect of open source is why this whole thing worked in the first place.
Copyright won't be a problem. There's enough big business wrapped up in AI usage that the laws will bend towards them. Code quality and community don't die just because people haven't quite figured out how to use the new tools properly yet; quality merely dips for awhile, and the community continues as before. We survived PHP. We can survive this.
If anything I think discipline and rigor will go up.
I think it will force us to adopt stronger type systems, formal methods, and more automated verification.

#45This is completely infeasible in the age of mythos. The reality is that the velocity is just not going to feasible from a security PoV without leveraging these tools.
In ten years we'll look at human written code like the unreliable garbage it is, and never rely on anything that wasn't at least seriously looked over by an LLM. It won't be even close.

#47I agree we need to address the elephant in the room, but our community is about as polarized as politics in America.

#48It's nicely symmetrical, because conversely I prefer my LLM-generated code to have no dependencies.
It's March 18th, 2087, npm and conda are considered crimes against humanity in 23 countries...

They will be missed. The people who won’t be missed are those who delegate their thinking and knowledge building to LLMs. They’re already obsolete.
Re: No LLM Code in Dependencies
#50What confuses me about this stance is that LLMs are basically indistinguishable from any mid-to-low-tier dev.
And those we've let into our codebases with no concerns. Hell, some even threw parties inviting in more of them.
At least LLMs don't call HR on you when you rightfully tell them that they're full of shit. Though.. well. Claude probably might.
