That has been the sentement for a while, programming is not considered "creative work" so has no value in their eyes

coderabbit for example

Primitive in what way? There are already tools that categorize changes so that they are easier to follow during a review.

For me the smoking hall going away was a turning point in the culture at CCC for the worse. Sitting there and smoking weed with random people are some of my favorite memories. It feels less like disneyland for hackers each year

blueth is numberwang tho

that's a pretty bad take away

I feel like a lot of the stars for repos like this are from people who are riding the AI hype train and not actually interested in using the software

isn't that what protected branches etc are supposed to fix in platforms like GitLab/GitHub/etc? My team has yet to break any important branches

even before AI very few developers cared about the actual craft. I'd say only about 3%. For a lot of people it's just a job, no matter if it's a corperate dev or a startup dev.

prompt injection has been super easy for ages. Heck I do it sometimes against coworkers who process my review comments using claude. I'll tell claude to edit it's global claude.md file or even dump a key from their env (checking if they are using the correct sandbox) and it'll do it without confirming with their user.

> Claude told them

People acting like meat proxies add no value. Claude is also very eager to make conclusions without digging deeper. It has no inherent curiosity or prior knowledge about the codebase asside from what it can see.

In my experience they still struggle a lot though. They're great at 1 to 1 translations but they will fight the target language to get there tho. A lot of the rust rewrites I've seen done by AI contain a lot of patterns that any rust dev worth it's salt will scoff at.

Sufficiently complex software is something agents still struggle a lot with

if you tell it to do a thing it'll try it's best to make you think that it was done. I rarely get good refactors from AI unless I tell it specifically what to do.
