Presidential candidates are internally campaigning and working on infrastructure for fundraising etc. I guarantee you he did not make the decision right at 2007.
Another employee describes some of the tasks—generating puzzles to test how reliably AI models from Meta and other companies can solve them—as easy compared to the software development work they had been doing previously. But the new projects feel menial, and “almost all” employees seem unhappy, they say. “Most people find the work soul-crushing,” the third employee says.
Oof. If they’re doing what I think they’re doing that’s rough. I do some of this as a side gig. It’s one thing if it’s part time and I can drop whenever. It’s another when you’re pouring 40-50 hours into nothing but that.
A good chunk of good patterns are to make sure humans understand it sure. But a good chunk of patterns exist to make individual components reusable and make sure you’re encapsulating requirements and testing them correctly.
A lot of LLMs take the “easy” way out and duplicate code, suppress listing, etc to make a prompt work. It works at that point in time but when you suddenly have a bunch of spaghetti and repeated code littered across multiple services suddenly making changes without causing massive regressions becomes a headache.
Companies are going to pay for this mess in several months as token prices go up and the codebase is a massive pile of slop.
Yes. Amazon hates you. I’ve worked there. It’s one of the few places that’s openly hostile to workers and openly says they’d replace you in a heartbeat if they could.
Leadership gives no shits. They’re all disconnected monkeys running around in circles hoping to make their bonus stock numbers go up.
They’re the same people that tell you how said it is and critical for layoffs to happen while plugging their stupid rocket project in the same all hands meeting. They don’t care about you.
We have a commit skill we’re supposed to use. So for non-trivial work that I don’t want the AI to screw up i do it by hand then use the skill so it can vomit put a commit message and PR.
I get the shiny “Co-Authored-By: Claude” and burn a ton of tokens to make myself look “AI Fluent”
Ironically a not AI pivot and a solid reliability guarantee would be a godsend in branding. GitHub right now has shit reliability and they could easily position the themselves to be a true workhorse. Instead they decide to go and huff paste because of shitty investors and board members I’d wager.
I was thinking of opening a gitlab account, saw their awful AI branding and said “no thank you”.
