And even if you decide to go for modal editors, Helix is a lot better out of the box

Copilot is the harness, Claude and GPT are the models Copilot is by far the worst harness of all the major players

There are like 70 copilots

His star was just rising and the way he dies was so fucking stupid and preventable. No drugs or partying, just a piece of shit American car…

And it also only works on Google hardware 🤮 (And maybe one future Sony phone maybe?)

Jolla is the only real option software wise

ChatGPT is pretty good at “what was that thing where…” type of stuff and usually gets it on the first go

Systemd has to do EVERYTHING They drop a systemd-kerneld one day and drop the Linux bit altogether

UAE and specifically Dubai live on PR and marketing When the surgically perfected bikini-clad Dubai influencer has to eat barley porridge and frozen veggies, it’s not good content 😆 People will survive, they won’t starve. But how will their PR machine spin this?

Being the face of a (multi?)million dollar enterprise AND going live on air once a week without any delay is either really brave or really stupid 😄

Would the average user “do research” better?

Isn’t the problem with Mint that it WAS the correct suggestion - years ago And now it’s a bit shit and there are way better options

Have you met the average user? 😀 They click on ads that look like windows dialogs.

Linus said that he’d consider it a personal failure on his part if his employees feel they need to unionise to get heard And the Internet Hate Machine interprets this as LINUS STOMPS UNIONS AND WANT TO FUCK THEM IN THE ASS. DRY.

People don’t read enough hard sci-fi, in a realistic space battle you use missiles and other projectiles because they don’t heat up your ship If you have any kind of laser crap, you need to dissipate the heat and that requires surface area And that surface area is an easy target for your enemy’s kinetics… take out the cooling system and everyone is cooked alive. Nice.

DVDs are fine, but the subtitles look god-awful - and they’re bitmaps so there is no easy way to make them not suck

My Matrix DVD I bought brand new still works just fine. But rot is real, but also highly situational

It’s literally a government mandate, they can’t not do it without leaving the market And of all the big names, I trust Apple the most to not give my shit to The Man

It’s not about standards. 3 grandkids will never need 7 China sets 😀 All needed exactly 0, I’m fine with the cups I have. I don’t “entertain”

My grandma was the last one to go of all her sisters. Her apartment had EIGHT full coffee sets, cups, plates, saucers, sugar dishes etc. just because she inherited them from her siblings and thought we’d want them Nobody wants any of them, they’re old and pretty and also worth exactly zero euros.

Let’s see, we’re understaffed even now and with AI we can kinda keep up. But I’ll eat my liquorice shoe like Chaplin if this turns into massive layoffs 🫠

Not OP but: In our company programmers are still fully responsible for the code they commit and must be able to explain it in a PR review. It just speeds up things, it doesn’t replace anyone. Simple things that would’ve taken a day can be done before lunch now, just because it’s just prompt + read code + PR (full unit and integration test suites ofc, made by humans)

Definitely

I just did three tasks purely with Claude - at work. All were pretty much me pasting the Linear ticket to Claude and hitting go. One got some improvement ideas on the PR so I said “implement the comments from PR 420” and so it did. These were all on a codebase I haven’t seen before. The magic sauce is that I’ve been doing this for a quarter century and I’m pretty good at reading code and I know if something smells like shit code or not. I’m not just YOLOing the commits to a PR without reading first, but I save a ton of time when I don’t need to do the grunt work of passing a variable through 10 layers of enterprise code.

Depends on the “app”. A full ass Lemmy client? Nope. A subtitle translator or a RSS feed hydrator or a similar single task “app”? Easily and I’ve done it many times already.

These are the principles I follow: indieweb.org/make_what_you_need indieweb.org/use_what_you_make I don’t have time to argue with FOSS creators to get my stuff in their projects, nor do I have the energy to maintain a personal fork of someone else’s work. It’s much faster for me to start up Claude and code a very bespoke system just for my needs. I don’t like web UIs nor do I want to run stuff in a Docker container. I just want a scriptable CLI application. Like I just did a subtitle translation tool in 2-3 nights that produces much better quality than any of the ready made solutions I found on GitHub. One of which was an *arr stack web monstrosity and the other was a GUI application. Neither did what I needed in the level of quality I want, so I made my own. One I can automate like I want and have running on my own server.

Same thing would happen if they were a non-coder project manager or designer for a team of actual human progress. Stuff done, shipped and working. “But I can’t understand the code 😭”, yes. You were the project manager why should you?

What if I can find it but it’s either shit or bloated for my needs?

I’ve made full-ass changes on existing codebases with Claude It’s a skill you can learn, pretty close to how you’d work with actual humans

Repost bots should be built in to Reddit tbh Just take whatever was the top 5 a year ago and repost it at the same time Karma guaranteed
