Meh, I have so many bangers laughing at actual AI bros that I could make my CV just all be sneers on them, I think this particular corner of the internet is quite safe

My first actual real life project was building a data analytics platform while keeping the budget to a minimum. With some clever parallelism and aggressive memory usage optimisation I made it work on a single lowest-tier Azure VM, costing like $50 to run monthly, while the measurable savings for the business from using the platform are now measured in the millions.

Don Knuth didn't write all those volumes on how software is an art for you to use fucking Node.JS you rubes, you absolute clowns

Sorry for being late, busy wanking off to the sexy robot in the article. So ye, anyway, why'd you do that?

Don't worry, if you apply yourself really hard one day you might become an actual engineer. Keep trying.

I treat AI as a new intern that doesn’t know how to code well

This statement makes absolutely zero sense to me. The purpose of having a new intern and reviewing their code is for them to learn and become a valuable member of the team, right? Like we don't give them coding tasks just for shits and giggles to correct later. You can't turn an AI into a senior dev by mentoring it, however the fuck you'd imagine that process?

Good code quality is a myth.

It's usually easy, just check if the code is nonsense

Hey, Devin! Really impressive that the product best known for literally lying about all of its functionality in its release video still somehow exists and you can pay it money. Isn't the free market great.

Like, it’s really good as a learning tool

Fuck you were doing so well in the first half, ahhh,

In my workflow there is no difference between LLMs and fucking grep for me.

Well grep doesn't hallucinate things that are not actually in the logs I'm grepping so I think I'll stick to grep.

(Or ripgrep rather)

He is even politely asked at first "no AI sludge please" which is honestly way more self-restraint than I would have on my maintained projects, but he triples down with a fucking AI-generated changeset.
