Honestly one of the most egregious things I've read about the NHS - actively promoting behavior that makes the lives of innocent children unnecessarily harder, and forcing everyone to contribute to supporting frankly disgusting behavio

Very much similar experience to yourself, when I was learning from YouTube tutorials I refused to copy/paste from their repos and instead typed everything out. Maybe changing variable names or structure. I can definitely say it helped

Yeah I highly doubt that claim, if it were true, buddy would be getting a massive signing bonus from OpenAI/Anthropic + endless press noise about it

Not GP but honestly I don't even spend 10% of my time writing code - even if these tools were perfect code generators that could read my mind (instead of having to prompt) it wouldn't significantly impact my work.

I prefer the old name, it was much more memorable because it's funny. "Yeah I'm playing with my Coq to try and get it working again"

This is probably the most insane take I've read all year. As though an LLMs don't have an increased chance to bork code when they have to write it multiple times for different platforms - even LLM users benefit from the existence

A while loop, some prompts basically amounting to "this is how you format a system call" and "make no mistakes", there's also a regex + executor for detecting and executing system calls.

Look at the JWT standard, it usually contains things like claims, roles, user ids, etc.

If a consultant made the same mistakes I'd expect the consultant to be held accountable, not the client business that hired the consultancy - they knew they didn't have the requisite skills and so outsourced to an "expert&quo

I think what matters more than the abstract class vs if statement dichotomy, is how well something maps the problem domain/data structures and flows. Sure maybe its fast to write that simple if statement, but if it doesn't capture

At that point you lose all potential gains from just using AI - it's harder and slower to read and understand a bunch of verbose slop and then clean it up

Not OP but I hold myself to that standard, and the honest answer is that at best it's the same.

Seems strange, for decades we allowed developers to use what made them comfortable, you like notepad? go ahead and use it. Don't want an LSP? that's fine disable it. So long as their productivity was on par with the rest of the te
