Using an IDE to write code is like using a pie tin to help you make a pie.

Using generative AI is like going to the local bakery, breaking their window, and stealing the pie.

That perfectly describes what my day-to-day has become at work (not by choice).

The only way to get anywhere close to production-ready code is to do like you just described, and the process is incredibly tedious and frustrating. It also isn’t really any faster than just writing the code myself (unless I’m satisfied with committing slop) and in the end, I still don’t understand the code I’ve ‘written’ as well as if I’d done it without AI. When you write code yourself there’s a natural self-reinforcement mechanism, the same way that taking notes in class improves your understanding/retention of the information better than when just passively listening. You don’t get that when vibe coding (no matter how knowledgeable you are and how diligent you are about babysitting it), and the overall health of the app suffers a lot.

The AI tools are also worse than useless when it comes to debugging, so good fucking luck getting it to fix the bugs it inevitably introduces…

Typical C-suite. It takes them three months to come to the same conclusion that would be blindingly obvious to anyone with half a brain: if you build something that no one understands, you’ll end up with something impossible to maintain.

I’m sorry… a smart toilet camera? WTF??

I heard his blood type is ranch dressing

100s of MB in dictionaries and JIT compiler caches

Don’t forget the hundreds of MBs of NPM dependencies

He’s 80 and he has a very long and public history of making terrible health choices

In 1995, a Netscape employee wrote a hack in 10 days that ruined the Internet

Mike Johnson always looks like he’s just been hit by that first stomach knot before explosive diarrhea.

The author of this article is literally the Principal Skinner meme

they still said that they love Google and use all of its products — they just didn’t expect it to release a program that can make a massive error such as this, especially because of its countless engineers and the billions of dollars it has poured into AI development.

I honestly don’t understand how someone can exist on the modern Internet and hold this view of a company like Google.

How? How?

Most of them would probably just turn into Joe Rogan. Not all psychonauts become wise.

I’ve never played this game and don’t know anything about it that I didn’t just read in the article… but there’s just something so rad about a game called “Let it Die” having such a graceful end-of-life plan like this.

The Boomers designed (and then aggressively defunded) the education system that these kids are being raised in, so it’s not really a huge surprise that they aren’t learning critical thinking.

Then combine that with the social media/advertising landscape that they’re constantly exposed to, and it’s really a losing battle.

Then what’s OpenAI’s excuse?

Considering the number of NMS updates that are just back-ported features that were created for Light No Fire, I suspect the game loop will be pretty much the same as what we already have in NMS

Ah! So Norwegians immigrating to the US are to blame! /s

Dude, you should really eat something

Wait… are you telling me that an agency named after a meme was fundamentally unserious??

What’s to stop some pedo from just holding a picture of a child up to the camera to subvert the face verification?
