"In music, the word motif describes a short, distinctive musical idea that recurs in a salient way."
Just proposed a branch to rewrite the applications menu’s grid view using Gtk.FlowBox. This gets rid of a ton of nasty custom keyboard navigation code and should be the last thing before I can propose the GTK4 port:
LLMs for coding (thread)
Equally, most those most vocal about the benefits of LLM-coding were bullish about dev before the bubble. They didn't see the flaws of the earlier state of affairs so they don't see what's wrong with magnifying that dysfunction 10x
Hence the divide in the discourse
Both see LLMs as a mechanism for scaling up existing software practices with minimal human observation
One group thinks this'll make the world 10x richer. The other thinks it'll be a catastrophe
LLMs for coding (thread)
There is nothing either group can say to the other to shift them because the disagreement is down to a fundamental difference in world view
But if you aren't in tech and are wondering which to trust, just ask yourself: do you really think the chucklefucks of tech, the clowns who have been running the show over the past couple of decades, have got coding completely figured out?
/end
LLMs for coding (thread)
This has led to a field whose standard practices are a cluster of bad habits and superstition. Most of the ideas of user-centred design are alien to modern devs. Misconceptions about test-driven dev abound.
When devs says that LLMs make them more productive, you need to keep in mind that THIS is what they're automating: dysfunction, tampering as a design strategy, superstition-driven coding, and software whose quality genuinely doesn't matter
LLMs for coding (thread)
And they are right. LLMs make it easier for devs to do work that doesn't matter in an industry that doesn't care, where the only thing that's measured is some bullshit measure that's disconnected from actual outcomes
Many of those most vocal about the dysfunctions of LLM-coding were ALREADY WARNING ABOUT THE DYSFUNCTIONS OF THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY BEFORE "AI". The dysfunctions predate this particular bubble and many in software have been concerned about them for years.

Ugh, I guess I can't use that VM for local testing, even. Despite having a valid Windows license, and signing in with the account that license is attached to, the Windows install on that VM refuses to activate, just returning some obscure HRESULT.
That leaves me with either troubleshooting why it can't find the license I already have or spending $140 getting a new one. Fucking hell.

Seems painfully obvious that, whatever you think about #genai code, anyone using it is heading for a code-review logjam. Assuming that the org requires code review; if yours doesn’t, nothing I can say will help you. Anyhow, Rishi Baldawa writes smart stuff about the problem and possible ways forward, in ˚The Reviewer Isn't the Bottleneck”: https://rishi.baldawa.com/posts/review-isnt-the-bottleneck/
[My prediction: A lot of orgs will *not* do smart things about this and will suffer disastrous consequences in the near future.]

This is possibly the hardest thing I've had to admit in my entire life, but I find myself 100% in agreement with Jacob Rees-Mogg on this issue.

https://trakt.tv/shows/homelandI I didn’t watch Homeland during its original run and so I have been able to treat myself to an edge of the seat experience while binging the full eight seasons of some of the most enjoyable television I have ever watched. Well written, well acted , morally complicated and not the least bit jingoistic.

one way to tell that a company's product is really good and solves an important problem that customers are more than happy to spend money to solve, is when they start doing weird shell games with bundling and integration, hoping that you won't notice whether you are using the stuff you're buying or not

"prompt engineers" are living in the past. they're gonna be replaced by "prompt agents". you won't even be allowed to write the copyrightable words "large breasts trending on art station in the style of someone else's life's work" you'll just drool the word "horny" or "app" into the saas and the cloud will dispense the most statistically probable approximation of your most statistically probable desires and praise you on the above average quality of your drool.
