Forever in my mind, the guy who said on another post he uses an LLM to convert strings to uppercase when that's literally a builtin command in VSCode, give people cannons and they're start shooting mosquitoes with them every fucking time

Fun fact, SO is not a place to go to ask for trivial syntax and it's expressly off-topic, because guess what, people answering questions on SO are not your personal fucking google searchers

I used to answer new questions on SO daily a few years back and 50% of all questions are basically unanswerable.

You'd also have the nice September Effect when a semester started and every other question would be someone just copy pasting their homework verbatim and being very surprised we closed it in like a minute.

The thing about that is that literally anyone can answer SO questions. Like try and do that. Pick a language or a tech you're most familiar with, filter that tag and sort by new. Click on every new question. After an hour you'll understand just why most questions have to be closed immediately to keep the site sane.

Whenever I see criticism of SO that's like "oh they'll just close your question for no reason" I can't help but think okay, there's overwhelming chance you're just one of Those and not an innocent casualty of an overeager closer.

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?

Jesus Howard Christ how did you manage to even open a browser to type this in

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.
