> it's still your code I wholly agree with your comment, but is it legally "your code"? Copyright is implicit at the moment of human creation. But there isn't yet settled law on AI-assisted creation. So it might be a

Not really. The term is a shortened version of "sucks eggs", which is originally from Shakespeare and used to describe an odious creature or habit (a weasel in Shakespeare's case).

Asking as someone who's only every rolled his own or used Cognito: What's the problem with Auth0?

Auth is a bit of a different beast when it comes to the build vs buy debate though. A competent auth provider has the infrastructure (and necessary data) to deflect against DDoS attacks, bots, etc.

You're correct. A consuming application doesn't have anything to do with Reg Z. However, the regulations do dictate the behavior or interface that I can expect from banks, almost like an API contract. It might make more sense if I

Because it's complex and I'm stuffing 30-50 PRs a day through it. 7 GHA workflows across four self-hosted runners. I'm on my third iteration, after constantly log jamming previous versions. Most steps aren't "run py

Not satire. But I can understand why my comment seemed contradictory. I've been designing software for a long time, but I'm nowhere near as good as most career SDEs I know (my career path has been SDE-adjacent). So it's not l

My wife was a diehard YNAB user before we met but it went by the wayside once we merged finances. She wanted to get back to better managing our money and started using Google Sheets and then got stuck. She asked me for help trying to create

I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe when I read these types of posts. My agents have never created code that is straight-up garbage and I have never flushed a week's worth of tokens down the toilet. I just can't ide

I like Tailscale, but it's difficult to argue with a straight face that it's not seriously suffered from product creep. This is the inherent problem with tech start-ups. Once they solve the problem they were founded to solve, th

How do you define "AI generated slop"? There's also an implicit judgment in your question. Is well-designed, well-tested AI-generated code worse than poorly written, but hand-typed code?

It's an intellectually lazy "No true Scotsman." I personally clicked away from the page as soon as I read that line because the author lost my trust in that moment.

That doesn't really sound like an indictment of unit tests. I don't really understand why someone would meticulously write a bunch of unit tests and then wait to prove them on a production deploy? Unit and integration tests serve

I've been experimenting with using NuExtract this week on locally OCRing bank statements that don't have a predefined document structure. It's way better than Tesseract or a generic vision-enabled model. It runs great on a
