That was preventable the same way the big corps prevented. You have competent process in place to block at the edge and fan out rollout asap.

Combined with defense in depth across the perimeter. Come on yall, we've only had these tools at a high level for maybe a year and we have already forgotten the basics?

Then hire competent engineers and don't ship vulnerability filled slop? This is not that hard.

Why would this be the death of homegrown software?

How accurate is that run of doom i wonder is it lossy in any sense

Thankfully coding is solved everyone

Good lord, someone not being good at english does NOT mean that they put not effort or care into their attempted output. It is RACIST to make that association and thats why its an obvious faux pas.

An LLM prose article ABSOLUTELY can mean that. To attempt to conflate the two things is maliciously misleading.

These people have lost the ability to even consider second order effects of anything. They've outsourced everything.

Konsole is not gpu accelerated and is several orders of magnitude slower as a result than those that you listed?

The acceleration is the primary point.

Excellent, it will remain stable

The value of something is in what it doesnt do, not what it does do

I thought the "automated" part was a clear implication of the statement personally.
acedTrex··on How the Claude Code team does code review
For real, my eyes completely glaze over, there is nothing interesting in it.

It can't do the job properly by ANY imagination, but it can pretend to well enough in a lot of cases :(
acedTrex··on Has AI tells
Because I am on the internet to talk to other humans because that is what I enjoy. I am not here to interact with a non human entity.

> Do you value their output because they are human

Their output does have intrinsic value yes...

acedTrex··on Has AI tells
No, absolutely not. We will continue to value output that purely shows human thinking and effort.

> and the value it attached to an activity even when I choose not to use the tool.

My exact feelings, its so unpleasant

acedTrex··on Recreational Programming
Im very depressed over all this, to me it feels like all the beauty of the world has been sucked out, or at the very least blanketed in so much noise its impossible to discern.
acedTrex··on Incident with Actions, Pull Requests and Issues
Thankfully programming is solved so these are non issues.

your message was "Good thing that programming with LLMs takes time, effort an dedication then!"

In answer to that message: taking bad pictures on an iphone is not something celebrate or recognize no.

acedTrex··on Grieving the loss of details
not really? you have people doing it with their voice while driving..

> Now I'm a meat bag pressing enter on a "recommended" option Claude already figured out was the best approach.

If you are constantly thinking claudes approach is the best then perhaps you were not that good of an engineer to start with.

acedTrex··on Grieving the loss of details
How did this come around? the young developer was just faster overall? or were they cheaper?
acedTrex··on Grieving the loss of details
Yep, its incredibly painful. The entire world has lost its mind
acedTrex··on Programming Isn't Special
People in this thread not reading the article and expressing their point of "the 10th api you've written for a business is not art" as if the points of mundanity are not addressed in the article is infuriating.
acedTrex··on Programming Isn't Special
Everyone in the comments snitching on themselves for not reading.
acedTrex··on Programming Isn't Special
There can be beauty in even the smallest of things. You can tell alot about a person by how they choose to structure even down to the loops and methods.

> So my question for folks who do consider programming art -- do you "read" other people's code like this? Do you exchange ideas through code? Have you ever trolled great coders of the past through your code or tried to prove them wrong?

Yes, 100% yes. I have always said that I reading someones code to me is akin to reading a personal diary or memoir. It exposes so many thing about their frame of mind and world view. I consider it beautiful and the advent of LLMs greatly muddying this signal (it has absolutely not REMOVED IT) has been incredible painful.
