  • Most of them want to just create without learning how to. The problem is there’s a reason why it’s hard and takes time. It’s not enough to have a good idea, you need artistic vision to make the art to back it, logic to make the structure that holds it together and a ton of other pieces. Thinking an averaging machine trained on thousand of stolen products can skip all those processes is dumb at best: you will create slop that will appeal to no one and probably will run like shit. If they only understood that they are also doing actual damage…




  • I mean, anectodal. I do passion projects, I studied, I used it: bad. As in muddy water bad, not unable to write or not working bad. You delegate and get complacent and it can cascade to a point you become dependent on it. That said, I specified good open source projects, not ALL. The internet is fucking built on linux. If that is not proof of what open source can achieve I don’t know what to tell you. You have no idea how many drivers or libraries exist entirely open source still working and maintained today. That said, I’m not here to convince you of my OPINION, I just wanted to share my educated guess on these LLMs. Nobody knows what the heck is gonna happen in the future and the fact that management (uneducated on the topic) is forcing adoption on people that work and know their field is kind of a bad sign. New people adopting new technologies is on par with previous cases, so nothing surprising here. Will they surpass the older coders or will the new AI be too costly to compete or require more expert coders to fix the mess? We have seen all these cases so far happen, so let’s wait for the big numbers to tell us who wins. Certanly not the planet lol


  • Ugh, a lot of tunnel vision in here. Good open source projects often last years or decades and are holding most of the internet alive today. They used 0 LLMs and are starting to use it today with dubious results. Many professionals ghat used it in programming reported an initial boost in production followed by an incedible boost in deal breaking bugs and higher fixing times: turns out that if you don’t directly write code debugging is hell and all the gains vaporize when you need to manually verify every line again. That said, mental atrophy is also worth researching. All in all, whoever uses it in fun projects and didn’t formally study code is always the most vocal about LLMs and those who did study and are forced to use it by their boss always describe it as bad. Wonder why



  • Up to two weeks it makes sense, over 2 weeks it’s a disaster waiting to happen. Unless you have a really well organized boss or some software to help you out, they will forget and no matter if you have written proof you will appear as the one who left despite everything or you will have to fight for it or cancel because you reminded them just before leaving. I’m lucky I’m in the EU so we have mandatory vacations
