000ooo000··on "ChatGPT said this" Is Lazy
>There isn't a book on earth that could answer the question "which remaining parts of my codebase still use the .permission_allowed() method and what edge-cases do they have that would prevent them from being upgraded to the new .allowed() mechanism"?

You're so close to realising why the book counter argument doesn't make any sense!

000ooo000··on Is AI a Bubble? I Didn't Think So Until I Heard of SDD
If you want to shit talk LLMs, you better come armed with research, buddy. Claims about how it will revolutionise every profession just need n=1 anecdata though.
000ooo000··on The Programmer Identity Crisis
>After you made your colleagues upset submitting crappy code for review, you start to pay attention.

If the only thing keeping you from submitting crappy code is an emotional response from coworkers, you are not a "good programmer", no matter what you instruct your LLM.

000ooo000··on LoC is a dumb metric for functions
>Use your judgment, and don’t be bullied by people who prescribe specific line numbers.

Ironic way to end an article that repeatedly belittles the target audience.

000ooo000··on I ended my relationship because AI told me to
It was the #1 trending GPT as reported on ChatGPT at that point in time. But I figure you knew that, being such a big astrology fan yourself :)
000ooo000··on I ended my relationship because AI told me to
A very pro-AI individual I know alerted me to ChatGPT's #1 use - Astrology - and was quite miffed that such an amazing technology would be wasted like this. All I could think instead was that Astrology being #1 gives us a pretty good idea of the kind of person who finds these LLMs useful.
000ooo000··on Forgejo v13.0 Is Available
Thanks. I'm on 9 and was wondering what the path would be like.
000ooo000··on I am a programmer, not a rubber-stamp that approves Copilot generated code
>I've even seen him copy and paste single letters.

Hopefully not C and V..

000ooo000··on Ask HN: Has AI stolen the satisfaction from programming?
This analogy really hammers home how ridiculous it is to put 'vibe coding' or 'prompt engineering' in the same camp as software development. Imagine telling fellow woodworkers about your latest work and how Ikea built it for you, with a straight face.
000ooo000··on Thoughts on Omarchy
They're automatically a piece of shit too. Their software projects are also banned. Any forges hosting their software: be prepared to be @'d in unkind tweets. Any CPU executing such software is by extension also a bigot.
000ooo000··on Fears over AI bubble bursting grow in Silicon Valley
Does the World's Largest Copyright Infringement Ever fall under 2 or can we say that is 3.?
000ooo000··on Kurt Got Got
I'll explain more, reach out to me on X https://www.privatemessage-x.com/000OOO000
000ooo000··on The React Foundation
Downright silly thing to say given how astroturfed the internet is in 2025
000ooo000··on Kurt Got Got
>heartfelt and humanistic mae culpa

They literally admit they pay a Zoomer to make memes for Twitter. I think you are falling for the PR.

000ooo000··on Vibe engineering
The guy is all in on the world's biggest copyright infringement machine.. good luck getting your credit
000ooo000··on Vibe engineering
Slapping 'engineering' on something to try and trade on the good name of real engineers is the express lane to losing all of your credibility. Guess I should get ahead of the curve and update my title to Slop Surgeon.
000ooo000··on Leveling Up My Homelab
How are you approaching heat management inside the soundproof closet?
000ooo000··on WireGuard topologies for self-hosting at home
Without fail, in every post on HN mentioning Wireguard:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

It's almost as if these people are offended someone would not use tailscale. Do you also find stories about people hiking and comment "I just look up scenic locations on google"? Why would you think your +1 to the easy, commercial route is at all interesting to a forum literally having Hacker in the name?

000ooo000··on Any level of alcohol consumption increases risk of dementia
>It is certainly still possible that wine in moderation is good for cardiac health.

Fairly sure that is mostly debunked, or at least grossly misleading, as the quantity of wine required to see cardiovascular benefit is high enough that any benefit is outweighed by the negative effects of the large quantity of wine required.

000ooo000··on What is “good taste” in software engineering?
A: Experience

Have your 10 mins back.

000ooo000··on What is “good taste” in software engineering?
If your code editor told you to use PHP, would you?
000ooo000··on How to make sense of any mess
Thanks - my mistake. I thought this was some really bad LinkedIn style content.
000ooo000··on Endless AI-Generated Wikipedia
>I’m not worried about one power user costing me a lot of money in inference

>edit: I’ve disabled new page generation for now because someone ran a script overnight to endlessly click links and cost me $70.

000ooo000··on How to make sense of any mess
Yeah the 3 word lines one after another is god awful.
000ooo000··on Redis is fast – I'll cache in Postgres
>why bother with a benchmark if the pick is pre-ordained

Validating assumptions

Curiosity/learning

Enraging a bunch of HN readers who were apparently born with deep knowledge of PG and Redis tuning

000ooo000··on RTO: WTAF
The first thing to know about genuine friendships is that they usually don't form when forced. Sticking 6 devs from different cultures, generations and seniorities in a room and saying "ok be friends now" is wishful thinking, the kind of simplistic shit you usually get out of management. To think that RTO is a solution to this is naive, sorry to be blunt. It has far more to do with who you hire. Lazy/incompetent management would prefer the easier RTO mandate, as usual.
000ooo000··on RTO: WTAF
>Too many developers think they are working alone, while in fact they are part of a team and they would be better off working closer to that team.

Sounds like you think software development is like one of those stock photos with 8 people smiling and high-fiving around a whiteboard. Devs are (mostly) nerds. Nerds have been collaborating in the online world for decades. They somehow managed to achieve things and build genuine friendships without ever being crammed into an open office - crazy but true. Everytime I hear someone say/suggest "dev needs to happen in person", all I can picture is a PHB.

000ooo000··on Australian telco cut off emergency calls, firewall upgrade linked to 3 deaths
Why would anyone take the *existing* legislation seriously if they don't stand to lose something if they don't live up to it? Individuals need accountability, or they know a fuckup like this just needs a ChatGPT script read with a solemn face and they can go on with their lives.
000ooo000··on Linux: Make the Kernel Cute
This PR shows why "wah wah your mailing list or non-GitHub forge is too hard to contribute to" is a feature and not a bug
000ooo000··on Australian telco cut off emergency calls, firewall upgrade linked to 3 deaths
Apparently one was an 8-week old. Heads need to roll here but I have no faith in anything meaningful coming of this.
