Recently started a new job, and I've been kind of... scared? Because they not only are doing all dev work with Claude, but have eschewed documenting stuff in favor of asking Claude to analyze and explain...
They're confused why I'm struggling to keep up with the workload they assigned me, and assume I'm not using Claude enough. I'm scared they're going to give me the boot already.
This gave me a smile in the middle of a nervous breakdown, so thanks.
I'm asked at work to see how AI can improve my workflow. So a few days ago, I was going to do a vode review. And that was the thing AI is good at, right? So I ask AI to do it. Then the agent spins around for a few minutes and literally writes to me:"I broke your node installation" ... so I spend the rest of the day fixing my setup... great success
The dumbassery required to look at the same people who make all this stuff as "the bad place for opinions" on... LITERALLY the stuff THEY MAKE is astounding.
Good job sir. Youve played yo mother fuckin self. Moron.
It's vaguely impressive to me that you think you're the people sitting and having fun, while in reality you're the screaming person in that picture. Actual coders are sitting there making stuff, enjoying the process of building things, and you're rushing in yelling that your AI girlfriend is the only real way to make stuff and they should stop writing code themselves and instead use the buggy garbage maker filled to the brim with security holes and bad practices. Just sad really :/
You say that now, but tomorrow you'll barely be able to stomach looking at it, and just the thought of what claude has done to your beloved code will fill you with disgust.
In Super Mario RPG, in Peach's bedroom, the bed is centred in the room with a chair facing it. If you inspect the chair you get the message "Found Princess' ????" and a Toad is panicked and buys your silence.
If I assert something incorrectly to Stack Overflow, I will receive fifteen corrections, a dissertation on something semi-adjacent, and the abridged history of Computer Science as a whole.
If I assert something incorrectly to Claude, it tells me how right I am and expands in that direction so I can be incorrect even harder.
Yep... tho, I have had decent luck with Google Gemini, but you need to be careful and challenge it constantly... I am also a fan of it being free (I am not going to deliberately pay for AI)
The rule about posting something wrong to find the right answer is an internet truism... I have said insane shit to AI systems just to see how they will respond (I will not provide examples, but they will probably be brought as evidence in any trial I am a part of).
"Stack Overflow" is scrolling through Pornhub for guidance and ideas while fucking your girlfriend. "Vibe Coding" is full on saying "you fuck her, I'll be over here grabbing a sandwich"
Concerned people have been a lot more worried about youths expecting sex to look like it does in porn. They have barely mentioned cuckolding. That must mean cuckolding is better for you!
Sure you can. Except that IN THE CONTEXT OF THE STATEMENT (which you conveniently ignore), they are referring to a sentient entity, because they referred to "it" reading a document. SOFTWARE DOES NOT READ.
The LLM will consume the reference doc as a provided context. From the start of the doc, it will gauge context token by token using its training data and will ultimately fill the context into a matrix attached to the very last token. From that last token, it will generate new tokens using the context vector previously defined. Then an agent will loop a few times to get a better output.
An LLM does not read your code. It doesn't understand it. It guesses what you need based on training data.
And if that training data sucks (which it does, because the internet sucks), then you're shit out of luck. You'll get garbage code that does nothing, and have to spend hours fixing it.

If you're a human developer named "Claude" I'll be your life is interesting right now

I feel dirty seeing this, and I don't do any sort of coding or AI based work.
HolyFreakingToast
so be it. otherwise my project and i would be hanging out behind the dumpster looking for punch cards and common functions.

Somewhere in the 1/5 range at the moment https://www.citizen.org/article/huge-majorities-want-ai-stopped-immediately/ I mean I'm still right of course :D Whose are those 1/5 people? Folks that sat down in front of a PC 30-40 years ago and haven't gotten up since.

Real coders ARE leveraging AI. Its one of the things AI is legitimately useful for.

I wonder how many cuck downvotes this post will garner?

This is accurate and funny enough even people who do use AI like that would probably be amused.

Why is she nude but wearing the gloves and crown lol.

Same reason the Bros. are nude save for their own gloves and hats, duh!

A note that this is just replacing Stack Overflow to get someone else to write your code.
FractalShoggoth
If I assert something incorrectly to Stack Overflow, I will receive fifteen corrections, a dissertation on something semi-adjacent, and the abridged history of Computer Science as a whole.

LLMs were a mistake.

If it's free you're definitely paying for it, you just don't know how.

Why let AI fuck my code up when I'm perfectly capable of fucking it up myself?!
CedricDur
But it can fuck the project much faster. Like, easily three fucks for each of your slow cumbersome manual fucks.
SavageDrums
Because LLMs can fuck it up faster, and that's the way American business runs!

99 bugs found in my code, 99 bugs found.
Take one down, patch it around, 127 bugs found in my code...

Because it'll read the reference docs for you
CallMeCourierSix
Who is "it"? LLMs are not people. It's just a bunch of software. It doesn't "read" anything.
And it can't write good code. It's absolutely shit at everything it does. Still images, videos, code, stories, search results.
LLMs are garbage. And pretending they actually help makes you a bootlicking corporate simp. They exist only to funnel money upwards.
maas2908
You can call software it.
CallMeCourierSix
Sure you can. Except that IN THE CONTEXT OF THE STATEMENT (which you conveniently ignore), they are referring to a sentient entity, because they referred to "it" reading a document. SOFTWARE DOES NOT READ.

You get to launder agency. Now it's not your fault its fucked, isn't that great? And when you fix it, it's like fixing someone else's code!

I love the casting as "laundering agency". Im gonna steal that.

It can fuck it up faster!

You really can’t. AI fucks it up SO quickly and SO much.
