Or writing everything by yourself.
You'd have to write the standard libraries and OS as well. Not that it can't be done, but let's just say that people who tried that did not fare well in the mental health department.
This article is so interesting, but I can’t shake the feeling it was written by AI. The writing style has that feel for me. Maybe that shouldn’t bother me? Like, maybe the author would never have had time to write this otherwise, and I would never have learned about his experience. But I can't help wishing he'd just written about it himself. Maybe that's unreasonable--I shouldn't expect people to do extra work for fr…
It’s incredibly annoying to read. So many super short sentences with the “not just X. Also Y” format. Little hooks like “The attack vector?” “Not fancy security tools. Not expensive antivirus software. Just asking my coding assistant…” I actually feel like AI articles are becoming easier to spot. Maybe we’re all just collectively noticing the patterns.
The pseudonym "Mykola Yanchii" on LinkedIn [1] doesn't look real at all. Click "More" button -> "About this profile", RED FLAGS ALL OVER. -> Joined May 2025 -> Contact information Updated less than 6 months ago -> Profile photo Updated less than 6 months ago Funny things, this profile has the LinkedIn Verified Checkmark and was verified by Persona ?!?! -> This might be a red flag for Persona service itself as it migh…
so they have 186 people in there - https://www.linkedin.com/company/symfa-global/people/
those are all also fake I guess ? shieeeeet.. I knew it was bad, but that's really bad
Why would you do work for free? Why would you download and run untrusted code? Why would you "ask" an "llm" to evaluate anything and rely on the output?
The article never really addresses if it was a totally fake setup or a real crypto company scamming interviewees. Does "Symfa" exist? Does the "Chief Blockchain Officer"?
so I wrote this article a few weeks back, i reached out to the company on LinkedIn, even tried to connect with their leadership team. sent a few people from the org a draft of the article. I did not get any response at all. so, not really sure about this myself. also, got blocked by the 'Chief Blockchain Officer' when I asked for a comment.
did you try commenting under one of their posts

FTR I sometimes use AI to make my writing more "professional" because I rite narsty like I've recently had to say "My CV has been cleaned up with AI, but there are no hallucinations/misrepresentations within it"

I'm regularly asked by coworkers why I don't run my writing through AI tools to clean it up and instead spend a time iterating over it, re-reading, perhaps with a basic spell checker and maybe grammar check. That's because, from what I've seen to date, it'd take away my voice. And my voice -- the style in which I write -- is my value. It's the same as with art... Yes, AI tools can produce passable art, but it feels s…
It also slopifies your work in a way that's immediately obvious. I can tell with high confidence when someone at work runs their email through ChatGPT and it makes me think less of the person now that I have to waste time reading through an overly verbose email with very little substance to it when they could have just sent the prompt and saved us all the time.

FYI in case you decide to write without the AI more, "setup" and "checkout" are nouns. If you're using them as verbs, they are two words, "set up" and "check out". You can remember which is which based on whether it would make sense to put another word between them, ie. "set it up" or "check something out", vs "the setup of the document" or "a fresh checkout of this branch".
Is this generally a way to determine when to split a compound word?
Looks like the commonality is that the second word in the pair is often one of (in, out, up, down).

PSA: If you are logged in to LinkedIn, then clicking on a LinkedIn profile registers your visit with the owner -- it's a great way for someone to harvest new people to target. On another note, what's unreal about the pseudonym? It's a Ukrainian transliteration of Николай Янчий (Nikolay Yanchiy). Here's a real person with this name: https://life.ru/p/1490942
You can change a setting so that you only show up as a view but not who you are.
