@MillionInt To figure out what is truely important one must do unimportant things

Everything in life follows from repeatedly answering a simple question:
"what are the most important things for me right now?"
English
@codespicious Probably will be more complicated and unexpected than that. Also, which developers don’t use AI? Like 3 people?
English
Hot take.
AI won't replace developers.
But developers using AI will replace developers who don't.
Agree or disagree?

@0xsachi If we need someone or some thing external to tell us if something is actually useful or good, we’re in a bad place
English
Is there a better way to evaluate models other than using benchmarks?
English
@kurtbuhler This is the little secret that the AI hype people don’t understand. When AI makes you unauthentic and unspecial you will be left behind.
English
I'm meeting more and more people willing to surrender their actions, style, voice, and even their thinking to AI.
All its doing is making the authentic ones stand out more, and making me pay more attention to what they're doing and saying.
Augment, not replace. Always.

@sriramsubram Trying to coax a magical thing that never quite does exactly what you want to build things is much more draining than building it yourself step by step.
English
AI coding tires you out more than manual coding. While AI coding does save time in some cases, it seems to consume more energy per unit time.
The higher energy consumption is a combination of wrestling with AI and doing a lot more writing in the form of prompts. Both drain energy per unit one than manual coding in my experience.

@galluzzo_julian Welcome to the slop casino my friend. This is the “fun” future we’re in where the house always wins.
English
i wish AI never existed
i wish I was still just making resources and videos for Webflow developers
i wish i could still tell juniors 'just learn webflow and you'll get a job'
i wish the skills I learned from 2017-2024 were still as valuable today as they were before
but the cat is out of the bag and it's not going back inside, so i choose to adapt myself for the future
are you still living in the past, or are you adapting for the future?

@harshilmathur Code is a set of instructions that the computer runs. Skills are markdown files full of hopes and wishes.
English
“Skills are just Markdown files.”
Sure. And code is just text files.
Compilers gave code power.
Agents do the same with skills.
English
@hasen_95dx It’s like people have forgotten all the lessons of the past because… new shiny thing.
English
@Howaboua Especially in a time when manic velocity-at-all-costs is portrayed as some sort of moral virtue

@richardartoul Honestly I have this experience a lot. Not always, but sometimes it really seems like I spent more time using LLMs with less understanding of the code and more frustration. But you’re not allowed to say these kind of things these days. It might hurt AIs feelings.
English
i'm on the verge of giving up on LLMs for code generation
they're game changers for code review, writing tests, and debugging, but I'm starting to think the juice isn't worth the squeeze for the actual code writing 95% of the time
English
@dhh I understand the point. But is this not democratization in action though? Are the voices saying “I don’t want AI slop” or “let’s slow down for a sec” not valid votes? You’re still free to fork and make your “vote” be whatever you want.
English
Empowering people to own and change their software was the open source slogan for decades. Now the grand democratization finally arrives, and it's all "yeah, but not like that" 🙄
The Lunduke Journal@LundukeJournal
Flathub has updated their policy to explicitly ban the usage of AI / LLM in the development of any software. “Applications containing AI-generated or AI-assisted code, documentation, or other content are not allowed.” Flathub is a Flatpak powered “App Store for Linux”, popular among GNOME users.

I am completely convinced that people's adoration for one model over another is purely based on a good experience they had in the past and on nothing objective.
just some problem was solved well enough for them, therefore its the best
English
@dhh Hmm, mad respect to DHH, but this is an ad hominem attack filled with psychobabble. We’ve always had gates on OSS for established projects. Being guarded when the slop cannon aims your way doesn’t mean personal insecurities. No one is stopping vibe coders from their own OSS.

errmmmmm, not to be miserable but has anyone noticed that agentic AI doesn't really work at all.
Like the errors compound, fragile integrations ( any external change breaks it ) , observability is an issue, no verification, context loss, the whole thing seems VERY tricky
Not sure this can ever be fixed.
English
@antirez Yeah, if only it had been good, then AI might have been good.
English
@helloiamleonie I set one up and genuinely can't think of much it is useful for. But that's probably just me. Running an agent directly in the CLI works just fine. It's incredible how many of these replies are AI buzzword gobbledygook that are void of any meaning.
English
@theo Experiencing a lot of issues with CC and 4.8 as well
English
I haven't used Claude Code much recently. Are these write failures just, like, expected?
I haven't seen this many random tool call errors since I last used a Gemini model
Theo - t3.gg@theo
You'd think they'd have addressed the already finnicky edit tool when making the parallel agents stuff more aggressive. Can't imagine how many millions of dollars in tokens have been wasted on failed edits due to conflicting parallel agents.
English
@dexhorthy Can you give like maybe 1-3 bullet points on what this skill entails other than vibes?
English
using AI for coding is a deeply technical engineering craft
most people don't approach it as so, and don't get the results we associate with high craft
but the ones who do have been sprinting ahead
more tokens wont save you, more thinking + skill + llm intuition will
have been saying this for almost 9 months now
dax@thdxr
i have seen enough proof now that using a coding agent is a deep skill it's confusing because the people you see heavily using them produce horrible results but that's because it's a skill! you can get better and the ceiling seems pretty high - this is very exciting to me
