We should be happy that they’re stealing people’s work?

Why what benefit has it brought? Mass anxiety?

Just like using LLMs. Completely optional.

Pure marketing slop.

Dead tech

I’ll say it since no one else is: you don’t have to use LLMs. I still write everything by hand and I’m still shipping as fast as my coworkers.

Other engineering specialties are typically protected under law in many states as well.

I love this guy. I don't want to use this stuff either. It produces a subpar product and way lower quality than I would ever output.

I highly disagree. Code is still meant to be and still is read more by humans.

> That's because it's cheaper to automate than pay a software engineer

For now. It also seems like we're still paying software engineers.

> Good writing requires thinking, reflection, and doing multiple passes

Same with code, but that doesn't seem to matter anymore.

Never used it in any of the projects I’ve been on.

IMO it’s because LLM text doesn’t really say anything. It’s 600% more text and paragraphs for things that could be said in 1 sentence.

I’d have to stop interacting with meat proxies and wouldn’t have to read copy pasted LLM text.

Big fan of Keycloak personally, but I'm also deep in the Quarkus/JVM ecosystem and Quarkus makes deving against Keycloak extremely easy.

> just hook into the Auth library you use (library, not service).

I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding of how this stuff works. You can't "just use a library". Your identity server is a service, open source or not and you have to align to how they do things.

I really whole heartedly disagree and if you think it’s silly I think that you don’t really fully understand the complexity of it. An LLM doesn’t solve everything. You still need to understand the spec, become a domain expert, and design your solution for the parts that the RFCs leave open with undefined behaviour. At the very least if this is your opinion you should start with an open source solution like Keycloak or authentic and fork it if you really need “control”.

This is a terrible suggestion. Rolling your own auth nowadays is like rolling your own encryption. It’s just a bad idea. OAuth and OIDC are massive specs that are constantly changing and you’re going to be stuck chasing and developing auth instead of your actual product.

I know because this is what my brain dead principal engineer did and I’ve spent the last 3 years chasing RFCs and am now going to spend the next year migrating to Keycloak because I’ve finally convinced my boss that we’re not an auth company.

“Usefulness”

Generated Sloppies bro

Does it? The only think I can think of not being in the standard library is a json parser

Can’t get left behind by people who can’t write a crud endpoint or an email by themselves.

Yes they will.

Isn’t that because select wasn’t style-able?

I think Source Hut has 0 ai features. Or time to start self hosting.

Slop

How do you know? Why are we inclined to believe you over him?

The creator of flutter was on here saying that 1/3 of all apps on the App Store use it. That seems to be a lot more than “nobody”.

I’ve worked at plenty of startups. It still does not matter, it never has.

I genuinely doubt it. Amdahl’s law will always reign supreme.
