I guess competition would sell tokens and move faster than it takes to build a company

I am shocked that they are releasing a skill to check the php version.

Who cannot type "php --version" but can use skills?

Here's my strategy:

The codebase I work on was designed to be split by features. Architecture is well thought and each feature has the same high level abstractions, all code is in one folder. This bring several interesting guarantees: code is scoped to this folder, each feature is "not too big" and fits in the llm context easily, and a design document explains architecture choices, that is well respected by the llm.

When the llm works on a feature, it is instructed to do several things to help me catch errors before shipping. Write a templated description of the change: interactions with external systems, sequence diagram, happy path, corner cases, deploy checklist, settings change, etc. I review high level choices, and not the code.

Finally, the llm add review threads to the code everywhere it made suppositions and related to untested assumptions. Each of this comment says: what could not be teste, what the llm thinks, what happens if I don't change anything and release the code.

Finally, on parts where I want to be sure, I do llm-instructed testing. It can build complex test benchs in no time, fetch data from production "provide me the command to fetch data, and a script to anonymise it", do a before/after comparison, ... It costs few tokens but it buys the peace of mind.

This way I have a workflow where the code is fully written by the llm and I don't go crazy reading its code.

We're using gitlab.com with self hosted runners (that can access lan).

Outages only come from our infra.

Migrating means migrating your ci workflows, but a decent llm can do that easily.

Don't forget that your business hours are not necessarily my business hours ;) for worldwide services, there is no global business hours, it's regional at best

We've had the hottest summer ever recorded (since the beginning of 20th century, more than 120 years ago) across Europe. There is no "downward trend), it's going up, and will be for a while.

Do you have any source? The global scientific community and more specifically the GIEC have been saying the opposite for years...

This is sadly too common in silicon valley mindset. Full of superlatives, and often not understanding the world outside.

This is published on a marketing website.

If it were not a marketing scheme, they would responsibly disclose the vulnerabilities to the code owners, and go on with their lives.

I read a lot of comments talking about pro-AI or anti-AI. The world (and each of us) is much more complex than a binary split.
