Yeah, I hear people use "Stardew Valley" clone or rip-off too. Which doesn't bother me either. Stardrew Valley is a ripoff of Harvest Moon.

I think Palworld is more base-building and stuff than the turn-based Pokemon games that are out there -- but it definitely looks more of a ripoff than the game itself leads on.

It obviously incentivizes you to be poor because you get all these benefits! /s

It is not. Are you working at one? Seeing the same thing?

I don't know because these guys aren't data scientists ... they're devs so they can only do this by prompting so it's just gonna be whatever steps they add to the agentic workflow.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

For the love of god, those “agents” are simply fucking markdown file! You wrote a crap document which isn’t even grammar-checked!

I ran something on Opus 4.8 or something two weeks ago and it ignored my rules and when asked why it was like, "yeah I read it but i ignored it"

That's another thing about this is when they say: "tell us what PRs are bad so we can improve the process"

None of these guys are data scientists ... what are they going to do? Bloat the context? There's reasons for why any PR isn't acceptable and any instruction they're secretly writing can change over time.

I had an Indian friend growing up in the UK and I was like 5 years old. We would hold hands when talking. Then this older kid came by and said, "only gay people do that".

Then we never did it again. I spent years revisiting that thought. The first ten years or so wondered why I did something so "gay" and denying that I really intended to do it. The next few years when I thought about it, I'm like, I did it but it's fine, who cares why.

Wasn't until I saw this video that it's likely my Indian friend that did initiated it and there's nothing objectively wrong with what happened. Damn. I'm like forty.

I actually agree with a lot of what you said. Software engineers didn't want to form a union and stuff because they had high salaries and we're so sought after. lol, to be clear, I'm not one of those crazy useful or overpaid tech guys (not anywhere close to FAANG). Although overpaid is always relative. Regardless, I think all workers should unite beyond tech ... it's the "tech bros" that are also making the world worse right now and I'm not happy these chuds are holding that moniker.

I'm 40 something and I didn't make FAANG level money. I still need to work for at least a little while but I am still planning to retire early as well.

I definitely feel for the next generation as well. Every new job I usually did my best to train the juniors and try to put them on a good career path. It seems like it was already difficult with the thirty million line problem and just how much sits in between the code can be a lot. Now add in AI and it's just a mess :/

 

Pointless rant. Please ignore. I'm a software developer and we all know how AI has changed our industry. How we work or why we're fired and why we can't afford PCs.

Anyways, we're already all forced to use AI already and we're already atrophying the minds of our juniors. It's great.

New team meeting and one of our managers tells us that we're never going to write code anymore at all. The AI will read the JIRA ticket and create the pull request (change request to the codebase) on GitHub. Our job is to only review the code on GitHub and then rank how well AI did and then comment and then get AI to fix it. We have to do this so we can improve the AI process. Which is funny because none of the people who plan this AI shit are data scientists. The only way they can change things is by promoting, it's not like we're releasing our own coding models but anyways ... He's like, now you should be able to do much more work and just review PRs all day now and that we should never be doing only one thing. You can only tell AI through a GitHub comment to fix a mistake and then you can start reviewing the next thing.

We were like, if it's a simple fix why can't we just fix it?

"Because we need to improve the AI process"

But then, I have to context switch.

"Yes that's the point you can come back to it later"

Why come back to it later when we can solve it now? We can even use AI to solve it now.

"No, we want you just comment on the PR so the bot can handle it"

Context switching is free apparently... It's actually infuriating because apparently we're not using IDEs any more. I personally use the GitHub plugin to review PRs in my IDE but no one else seems to do it so I don't think they even took that into account.

These guys have auto merged AI code that's taken us weeks to unravel and which we still haven't fully been able to fix. They just merge shit all the time and a lot of it is fucking slip. AI merged hundreds of tests and no one cares when they break. They didn't configure prettier because AI doesn't use it so it breaks out formatting when humans do it.

I ranted to my own manager for 30 minutes about it today and he was just as upset because every developer is now asking what exactly are they doing. My manager asked me what I would do. I said the process sucks but what are we supposed to do as devs. If I review 20 PRs a day, how is the company going to ensure my skills are gonna be sharp? What are we doing about taking in ideas from regular devs? How do we ensure code ownership when we're just merging tickets we don't write and code we had no hand in shaping?

Sorry. I actually thought I had faith in my company with AI because they were coming up with thoughtful approaches but it seems like utter incompetence.

I know what you mean because I'm similar but I get to work from home and have time to cook. People have different jobs and responsibilities so I don't want to say everyone needs to eat like a scrub like me/us. So I'm empathetic.

I wouldn't buy lunch every day though if I could help it for sure though. Once or twice a week for me. Not sure if you've ever done it before but I did Huel (powdered meal replacement) for lunch for months.

I think the $70 could be justified back in the day by saying they need to make deals and since they're representing their countries then they shouldn't need to worry about this. I don't think anyone cares about that anymore after seeing all the rampant corruption shoved in their faces on a regular basis.

When it was like 3-1 at 90 minutes I was telling my friend that there's no point in watching. Nothing's gonna happen (I implied that the US isn't gonna be able to score 2 goals to tie). I was wrong -- twisting in that dagger was so nice.

When I got this house, all my appliances were Samsung. It's been five years. None of my appliances are Samsung.

Remember how they kept saying their victims of woke being taught in schools?

I hate them.

MAGA Influencers are all in a chat and they all receive talking points and are paid to say things in a coordinated campaign.

They say Tucker isn't in on this ... how many of you wanna bet Rogan is though ...

$10 a month feels steep to me, but there's other health plans like Whoop and stuff. Bevel is one that is device agnostic. I'm guessing this is why Google killed the Fitbit but I don't have crazy faith in Google maintaining things.

Masculinity has become radioactive.

It’s one of the most polarizing forces in modern culture. Families fracture over it, politics feeds on it and entire online ecosystems monetize it. And no one seems to agree on what it is anymore.
