@ducksamillion @bcardarella @theo Human written documentation is also inaccurate and quickly out of date. In my experience so far AI allows rapid documentation of the latest version of features with a pretty decent rate of accuracy, particularly if given architectural design decisions docs alongside code.

@bcardarella @theo If I need AI to write docs for me, I may as well just leave it undocumented and tell people to query the code base with whatever they want to know. If AI is 99% accurate, why add in another layer of possible inaccuracy?

If you think AI coding is a fad, I get it. I felt the same way about a year ago. If you tried these tools out during the Copilot auto complete era, I understand entirely why you wrote them off. Things have changed a lot since then. These tools are here to stay.

@ThePrimeagen How does that differ from the Internet? 🤣

i am completely convinced the majority of LLM usage is spam or scams The technology has been a net negative on society thus far

@emollick And then high five it after it congratulates you on a job well done.

One of the weird impulses that comes from working with AI is providing the LLM with unnecessary“closure” - going back to a chat and telling the AI how what happened & how its advice tuned out. Feels bad to leave the AI hanging, even if that doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Sure, I've heard the pitch. In reality though its not used like that, isn't really designed to be used as currency, is still increasingly regulated and is easily vulnerable to a $5 wrench attack. The main reason it exists is to extract money from people who think they can get rich with zero effort. The people that buy in are bagholders for those that sell. It is a ponzi scheme.

@0xcodecustard @Lucas_Kell @ThePrimeagen Any stocks and exchanges are involved with banks and government control. With crypto you just remember your private key and you can go and live on remote island and transfer money or exchange it for anything as you like providing you have any internet access. That's the power.

I love that people are discovering that crypto bros are scammers and have just moved to AI Welcome to Costco, I love you

It doesn't really though. Most of it is centralised to a significant degree anyway. Miners are so centralised they are increasingly becomimg legally liable for transactions they include in blocks. The price is also based on hype and heavily prone to runs - moreso than fractional reserve banking. Blockchain is great as a capital incinerator for people that don't know any better. Even as a tech its not very good. As I already mentioned it misuses private keys and sure, while you could create new accounts periodically but that comes with its own costs and security risks. My favourite pasttime with bitcoin is watching people that DCAd to a hardware wallet when they go to move their btc and find out suddenly what a UTXO is when they get destroyed by fees. 🤣 It's a slow, expensive distributed database that is used as a ponzi scheme to extract money primarily from those who can least afford it.

It is awesome, gives you freedom and independence from anyone. Immutable passwords? Great! You just create one of your own and if you need to change it just create new wallet with new password. Technology of blockchain is awesome, and Bitcoin and others proven many times how great it is. The scams and pump&dumps are the problem of crypto world.

@sorek_UK @ThePrimeagen Crypto isn't really something I'd refer to as awesome. Ponzi schemes using private keys as long lived, immutable passwords. *shudder*

@ThePrimeagen Both crypto and AI are awesome. And they both are misused, mis-marketed and would really help humanity if instead of pushing them everywhere they would be just applied at government levels to replace beaurocracy..

@zeeg @trashh_dev BidAI

@trashh_dev How long til they stick a camera in bidets so you can inspect how clean your butthole is

get a bidet you sickos

@ThePrimeagen Windows really isn't as buggy as it historically has been.

new years resolution for all tech companies should be first 3 months no features, all fixes looking at you Windows

@rywalker This has been true long before AI. In most situations balancing the need to actually get products out the door with the desire for "perfect code" has always been the way to go. Let's face it, a year down the line all code is legacy code and awful, no matter how perfect it was.

software development in 2026 is going to require some to loosen up a little code doesn't have to be as perfectly crafted the way we did it pre-ai call it slop if you want, but if you're still demanding perfection on every pr while your competitors are shipping "slop" that works... you're fighting from a disadvantaged position shipping velocity matters more than perfection

@ThePrimeagen 🤣🤣 I love that you even have to tell AIs repeatedly you use arch.

my most frequent phrases sent to chat gpt

@PragmaticZone @dhh How have you verified that algoritm is actually in place? And how do you account for the studies showing that certain voices and keywords get shadow banned and downranked?

@dhh Open sourcing the algorithm was one of the best things Musk did and similar level of openness should be required from every company. Add access to personal boost variables and we'd be in a pretty good place.

@theo No such thing.

I've written way too much sql in the last 3 days

@ThePrimeagen Still struggling with the move back to QWERTY, eh?

an amazing quote

@trashh_dev Where do I get a pillow jacket?!?

mood

@trashh_dev Why stop at 72?

i need 72 waffles right?

@shiri_shh People pay for convenience.

why use your saas if i can build the same thing in 2 hrs?

@AubreanReverie Most coders I know are alright with it. We're big on open source and what we make careers on is the ability to problem solve rather than the actual code. While the job threatened by AI, the ability is not really something that can be plagiarised like art and writing can be.

@AubreanReverie Have there been any legal cases either started or completed in Europe brought by artists against AI generated art? I'd be interested to see how strongly this is held in court and what precedent it sets.

@EdnStuff @MrEwanMorrison Every developed tech we've ever called AI stopped being called AI when it was widespread enough. Whatever it gets called though its pretty transformative.

@MrEwanMorrison What's also true is that this isn't AI. Not really. This is machine learning algorithms + databases at scale. Not anything approaching AGI. Even AGI lacks the spark of consciousness and can't "experience". This is just automation at scale. Where it takes more than it gives.

The AI backlash is now bigger than the hype. The more people are forced to use GenAI, the more we realise it steals our writing & images to spit out mashed-up, flaw-ridden, factually incorrect slop. 2026: the year the slop companies are rejected & their lies are taken to court
