No man everything is about money and business. You don't need to be happy if your KPIs go up what are you talking about.

These people are robots.

I find this statement ironic while talking about the browser that spearheaded manifest v2 deprecation for "safety". Just use Firefox people, ublock origin still works there.

At the risk of sounding extremely insensitive, I am not interested in hearing the thoughts of someone if for them expressing them into words is really, really hard. I would be interested in reading the 30% or so that comes from them, but not at the cost of having to skim through the rest of the slop.

My attention is a finite resource.

But how is that a positive that people that cannot give a fuck about writing coherent thoughts down to share them can now hog your attention with something that has no clever meaning whatsoever? Is talking just for the sake of talking a good thing in your book?

The AI review are still quite far from having the same level of critical thinking and high level knowledge of your application, what you have done in the past and want to do next etc.

If you don't master this for your own project, what's even the point of your job.

While I respect the work behind rust-analyzer greatly and think it's a good part of how cool the language is, I will NEVER understand the design decision to flat out refuse using disk cache. I understand the argument that implementing this puts less pressure behind speeding up the indexing process, but honestly with the price of ram today I'm tired of the memory and cpu usage each rust-analyzer process takes up. Especially since we do more and more parallel work.

I honestly think it's the wrong philosophy. Once again I'm a nobody compared to maintainers, so take my opinion with a grain of salt

The cargo cult around AI on this website is making me second guess a career choice that has always been obvious to me.

In addition to not enjoying my work as much as what I used to because it's become babysitting an superpowered AI toddler, I now have to deal with this kind of opinion online.

It's good because I have not written a line of code nor thought for myself in a whole year man. And yet I can still get YC money don't you see?

This whole thread is fucking scary. How are people even remotely positive about any of this shit is beyond me. Educate your kids, stop delegating the important stuff.

The concept of consuming AI generated content for children has always baffled me.

We collectively have a virtually infinite collection of already existing hand crafted quality content filtered over the years in the form of children stories and tales that we can pick and chose from to read to our children. We love telling stories especially to our children.

Why would ANYONE be enticed by the idea of using AI to generate tales when there are so many out there to tap from is really beyond my comprehension.

It's always crazy to me to see this kind of smug takes defending huge corporations as if they're your friends.

It's not all good or bad, there's a security issue with side loading, as well as shovelware on the play store. However, there is no world where I would argue that these justify limiting consumer grade hardware to walled gardens.

Some people are going to spend 10 minutes refining a prompt to get a human looking 2 paragraphs message after rewriting half of it. Then they're going to be like GOTCHA I USED A LLM.

While I love their hardware, this is why I will always chose a Linux distribution over anything closed source. Being able to retrieve logs of pretty much anything and change pieces of the OS as time goes on is extraordinarily resilient.

Sure it's sometimes not as shiny as MacOS, and it will most likely never be polished enough for the mainstream market share, but there's something really awesome about not being reliant on a support engineer that does not have the financial incentive to spend the correct amount of time solving a one off problem.
