AI slop garbage

5 years? That's so interesting bro. Tell us more about what your thoughts on ChatGPT were back in 2020.

Go ahead and double check when the LLM craze started and perhaps reconsider making things up.

I'm sure you can easily find more. Felt good to be called a "bro", though, made me feel younger.

No, the new "Year of the Linux Desktop" is "This Year Software Engineers Won't Exist Any More Because Of LLMs". Very obviously.


Can you really not see the irony in posting this comment? Have you no self-awareness whatsoever?

Peak HN, absolutely hilarious!


The hottest discussion on the first page is how big of a meanie Andrew Kelley is. Yeah the sites a vibe for sure.


Don't tell the Posthog guys about this. Far too much collaboration going on here!!!


Giving people cardio advice while being completely unaware of what zone 2 training is.

Peak HN right here. The epitome of confidently incorrect


Type checking is done statically without running the program. You don't need to execute any run-time logic to perform a check like this. What you are suggesting is a much, much weaker form of verification that doesn't require any type system at all.


This is such a massive misunderstanding of the book. Have you even read it? The developer needs to think so that the user doesn't have to...


My most charitable interpretation of the perceived misunderstanding is that the intent was to frame developers as "the user."

This project would be the developer tool used to produce interactive tools for end users.

More practically, it just redefines the developer's position; the developer and end-user are both "users". So the developer doesn't need to think AND the user doesn't need to think.


I interpreted it like "why don't we simply eat the orphans"? It kind of works but it's absurd, so it's funny. I didn't think about it too hard though, because I'm on a computer.


Lol, software development at a modern startup isn't even in the upper half of applied intelligence in software engineering much less global human activity/achievement. The "problems" most startups are solving are simple to the point of banality.


Is there any way to start banning posts like this if they don't actually link the codebase? There's no point at all in engaging with something like this without a way to judge the real outcomes that have/have not been achieved.


Yeah, the ratio of "words in blogposts" to "LOC in public repos" is way out whack.
