  • Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy Everything

    Jump

  • I disagree. For example:

    Now, six months later, you realize that your AI-generated software is riddled with security holes. Whoops! Your database is leaking private financial data like a sieve

    We have seen this a thousand times before there was an AI. AI is like a cheap contractor out of school and companies who use it extensively will get the same results. It's a pragmatic thing, not some phantasm about bullies. I have told so many times "I told you so" to previous managers that I trust it will happen again and again.

  • Yesterday the test team asked me for 3 new features to help them. I thought about it for a few minutes and understood that these features are all incompatible. You can get one and only one. Good luck finding an AI that understands this.

  • It works for a while. Keep a few seniors and everything will be fine. Then you want new features and that's when shit hits the fan. Want me to add a few buttons? 1 month because I have to study all the random shit that was generated last week.

  • That's what I expect if I'm fired and rehired: at least +25% on my salary.

    We hired a junior at work from a prestigious university. He uses ChatGPT all the time but denies it. I know that because all his comments in the code are written like some new Tolkien book. Last time I checked his code, I told him it had something like 20 bugs and told him how to fix that because I'm not a bad guy. The next day, he came back with a program that was very very different. Not knowing how to apply my fixes, he used another prompt and the whole thing was different with new bugs. I told my boss I was not wasting time on that shit again.

  • Every time I try to use it it hallucinates bugs. It’s a waste of time for me.

  • My taxes at work to fund shitty generators. People around me will cheer for this since they are not working in the programming industry and don’t know how it’s yet another way to lower the quality of all that we’ve done so far. We’re fucked.

  • Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3?

    Jump

  • It's a sample of 1, but we hired a young guy with a CS Master's degree. I told him in polite ways that he should not use ChatGPT and his code sucked. When he was told to fix something, he rewrote it completely with a new prompt instead of understanding bugs. He didn't last more than 2 months.

  • For FLAC you have torrents, no legal way to have that. For tags I use https://beets.io/ but it's not moving tags, it's detection and looking up on a database on the internet.

  • allow all of us to talk to each other

    I was doing that just fine 30/40 years ago with BBS, newsgroups, and later with forums such as Lemmy. Social media put a name or a face on people, and was combined with the regular "eternal septembers," but it didn't bring anything useful to the conversation IMHO.

  • I only know one guy who has a folding smartphone. It's broken now. What a stupid idea.

  • Has Github/Microsoft rolled back the master to main switch?

  • I demand trunk because https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/ is a great branching strategy guide that anyone should read. It also explains how to release code or fix it in a good way.

  • If you use your email, it's anonymous but you have to use your email which is almost never anonymous and has your phone number. Also you sometimes have to "Create an app-specific password" that delta chat will use and gain full access to your email account, which is way worse than signal or any other application. And for some accounts, you have to use your real password, and maybe disable the spam protection.

    Am I wrong somewhere or is that a really stupid idea?

  • Messages you send to other Proton Mail accounts

    That's a small but important detail. If you have public keys from people at other providers, AND you trust their security (JS thing I guess), then fine. But 99.99% of the world do not have that and don't know what it means.

    If you want full trust, use Thunderbird and GnuPG. Proton is a nice package but you don't control it, so no trust IMHO.
