Hey Polski, This comment is extremely prejudicial[1]. Not only is language a part of people's heritage and culture, which in itself provides value, but also what you've said is incredibly biased and also simply incorrect. For exam

There is boundless technology we have not yet discovered. I think that we understand we have problems. I don't believe we actually know how to solve them all. And yeah, the lack of collective political will sucks. It would be naïve, ho

I'm not sure if this is meant to be rhetorical. If it isn't: money and manpower. The LLM companies have the money, they have the manpower, and so they could likely spare to target some of the problems they are also helping cause.

I suppose it depends on which types of problems you're targeting. There is a lot of physical science, and theoretical science, that has gaps because there aren't enough people working on tooling to assist in things like calculatio

It's a tad petty, no? In the end, the contribution to a healthier society leads to more for the companies contributing.

I would love more time and money put into real-world problems by these companies. Climate, food insecurity, pollution, technology for convenience and/or to help people have a higher quality of life. I'm sure they must do some of t

There's something to be said about controlling the tools you allow the robot to exec.

... Yeah, that was my issue as well. I'm pretty sure it _is_ AI generated, and flagged it. Hopefully moderation can follow up.

Perhaps in a small codebase without issue tracking this might be something leverage. It's just not reasonable with 100k+ lines of enterprise grade code.

You might be approaching PR comments differently than I've seen. When a comment is something to be addressed, it's either put into a new development task (i.e. on something like Jira), or it is completed before the PR merges. I&#x

Some subscriptions offer "unlimited tokens" for certain models. i.e. GitHub co-pilot can be unlimited for GPT-4o and GPT-4.1 (and, actually, GPT-5 mini!). So: I spent some time with those models to see what level of scaffolding an

Find another developer and pair/work together on a project. It doesn't need to be serious, but you should organize it like it is. So, a breakdown of tasks needed to accomplish the goal first. And then many pull requests into the s

I like reading these types of breakdowns. Really gives you ideas and insight into how others are approaching development with agents. I'm surprised the author hasn't broken down the developer agent persona into smaller subagents.

Aren't down votes on this forum restricted to 500+ karma? And how would those compare to flagging? I'd hate for people under 500 karma to think they need to flag a post in order to have it get any attention by moderation. And, wit

Yikes. That account is like the epitome of LLM posting. It's a shame, too, because it makes me feel less inclined to read discussion on this forum.

Somehow I missed that, even though I regularly play several of the instruments in my home... Thanks for reminding me of one more awesome thing!

In our org that would not fly. They would be required to break it down. Did you or anyone tell them they need to make it readable for the rest of the team?

I understand where you're coming from, and think there is something missing in your final paragraph that I'm curious to understand. If LLMs do end up improving productivity, what would make them go away? I think automated code gen

It's definitely sort of that. You can run your own server, as well, though this comes with its own limitations (and inherently takes away from the want for more players). Most of the developers have varying goals with the project. When

Companies need to set the bar and uphold it. Saying people are "quiet quitting" is synonymous with saying, "we don't know how to set and uphold standards". Putting the blame on the employee instead of having clear g

I think there may be a set of people that have figured out, 1) how to interact with LLMs; and 2) what in their lives is improved when interacting with LLMs. I am in the group that has not found the best use case for my own life, and have ne

I enjoy brewing some loose leaf* green tea with varying ratios (leaf, water, temperature, time). Others might enjoy it! I think it's a fantastic replacement beverage that helped me cut soda. I like doing 4g of Japanese sencha leaves, 8

Congrats on your feat of strength! To others looking to quit, I've read[1] that it's dangerous to quit cold turkey. Ease yourself out, and save yourself from possible complications. 1. https://americanaddictioncenters.o

The ideas shared in the post replies are great. My approach has been more hands-on and puzzled together recently. I've been digging into harder problems on sites like leetcode to learn more math, and solidify some algorithm and data st
