Hey, no kink shaming

Does that mean the open source projects are "gang-bang coding"?

Pair programming, aka DP.

My project and I were having problems, but opening things up and bringing in Claude has reignited the fire we once had. We're committing changes like it's our first week together again and adding features we never would have thought of adding before. Some people make fun of me when they see Claude's commit messages in my project, but I'm confident enough in my programming abilities that I don't let it bother me. I know my project and I have something special.

🥶 Linux (and therefore me) is gonne be so fucked in five years when they (like every project on the ai hype train) can't understand the spaghetti code (including future ai).

Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but I trust Torvalds. The same can't be said about the typical vibe-coder, though.

Tbh I trusted him up until the point where he compared AI to compilers. That's just absolutely crutial misunderstanding where the issues with AI usage lies. Comparing using compiler to code, vs using AI to code, is so immensly stupid that I have started doubting him.

Not because I don't trust in his skill, but because AI is addicting and dealing with additction/risk of psychosis responsibly takes an entirely different skillset. And resorting to toxicity when defending AI with absolutely bonkers arguments, like reducing it's risk to "ShOuLd We AlSo bAn CoMpIlErS? WrItE iN aSeMbLy!!" is not a good sign that he is handling it well.

And he even compared it to using a fucking text editor to write commit messages, that wanting to limit AI use in commited code is the same as wanting to ban text editor usage. That's just plain insane misunderstanding of what the issues are.

Yeah, there's a distinction between using an LLM as a tool and letting the LLM be in control.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

You have good reason to trust him. Trusting the future however is a losing game.

When Claude needs help finding an incertion point, I help by handling its pipe to get to the entry point. Its good for memory.

This allegory is legit depressing.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 14 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but it's not your taste.

This will make waves in the work GC

Oh man, I am so tempted.
