Kind of surprised, but that is really cool.

I’d be fine with being slightly less strong on a plant based diet

Sonic popsicle. It wasn’t great lol

Where is this coming from? I don’t think an LLM can code at the level of a recent cs grad unless it’s piloted by a cs grad.

Maybe you’ve had much better luck than me, but coding LLMs seem largely useless without prior coding knowledge.

I’m not above slinging a little spaghetti if it pays the bills.

In my experience, they’re better at poking holes in code than writing it, whether that’s green or brownfield.

I’ve tried to get it to make sections of changes for me, and it feels very productive, but when I time myself I find I spend probably more time correcting the LLM’s work than if I’d just written it myself.

But if you ask it to judge a refactor, then you might actually get one or two good points. You just have to really be careful to double check its assertions if you’re unfamiliar with anything, because it will lead you to some real boners if you just follow it blindly.

Yeah last time I used it was with a laravel monolith and actually it wasn’t that bad.

Too late to change it now

This person phps

And Offpunk.

Maybe a little JS, as a treat?

It’s fun for hiding little easter eggs.

Ththat’s different… you take it back!!

Thoughts in a contiguous sequence??!!? What utter bloat! Why even have a past or future when a pure consciousness need only experience the horizon of an infinite present.

phpBBB??

We’ve gotten to the point where you aren’t considered a real professional unless you start even the smallest projects with maximum technical debt.

They’re just following the model laid out by the venture capital model, really.

I guess all that’s left is to form a no-utf club.

Hmm, you kind of lost me with these metaphors. No offence, I’m just not sure what is supposed to represent what here.

But if the guy who created the FOSS movement says something gross, then they and everything they stand for should apparently be shunned.

They might mean that, but they didn’t say it. I don’t think they did mean it. I think they just don’t want people to forget the “problematic” aspects of someone before we go all worship mode on him.

It’s like how my partner will interject–he’s canadian!–if I mention some actor. Like she just doesn’t want me to forget that context, but other than that, I can carry on.

Maybe they did mean that, though and I’m missing some context from somewhere else in this thread.

Well it’s very evocative, you should be proud.

Do you have like a blog or something? Good bit of writing, this.
