Copying my comment from the Vercel post that gained no traction here:

From what I can gather, Express 5's body-parser has Brotli decoding enabled by default which would make any endpoint with this middleware vulnerable to this. Am I mistaken?

That's awesome! Thank you!

As the lowly programmer, rather than a compiler engineer or a CPU architect, I will never dig into the reasons why my tools decided to do something crazy. I'm much more likely to just try random things until it works. How is that different to how people use LLMs? Even here the opposite is true, the LLM enables me to ACTUALLY dig into the lower levels and work around those issues! It will happily dig into the Chrome source to find exactly why my page rendered weirdly, or why an optimization didn't kick in!

> Is Coding → Prompting like Assembly → High Level Coding? […] I do not agree with this simile. Compilers are, for the most part, deterministic in a way that current AI tools are not.

I have a very different view of this, coming from C++. "Undefined behaviour". Compiler optimizations that only kick in if you align your chakras just right. Memory alignment and cache locality being completely vibe-based, relying on hopes and prayers that the CPU actually does what your mental model thinks it will.

In many ways it's EXACTLY like C++ -> Assembly. You never know what you ended up with until you run the benchmarks, just like you never know what your AI generated until you look at it!

"What do you mean? This worked in the debug build! Why does it crash in release?!"

Why would that someone want to listen something you haven't created? What have you "shared"? Claude could have made the tools that let the creator build their cities from their own imagination, but that's not what this is.

Do you have a blog post about this? The link is to the home page and doesn't mention anything! Sounds super interesting but the landing page reads like survivalcraft in space #1001

Is that really true? I feel even with Fable and the likes, once the LLM has locked down an implementation any reworks I try to do gets it really tunnelvisioned on the current implementation, treating it like the truth even though it JUST wrote it, and any attempts to make it reframe the problem just makes it dig down further. In these cases I always get way better results throwing the whole thing away and rewinding the conversation rather than trying to evolve it.

No, usually humans write more than just a short unsubstantiated punchline in their "it's not x, it's y's", unless they're trying to sell you something.

If AI coding isn't lowering your code quality, you're not using it enough

They have some nasty "dynamic tap zones" algorithm that dynamically resizes the hitbox for keys based on what it predicts you will type in order to reduce miss-taps. Anecdotally, it has just steadily been getting worse with every update. I swear I can be pressing the center of a key and it will select the next one over and immediately autocorrect to a completely different word than what I typed.

I had the pleasure of typing something on an Android the other day and it was such a breath of fresh air when it actually accepted the keys I was pressing...

I wrongly assumed I was below version 10.10.7 and tried to "upgrade" to it first as the migration guide said, but this completely blew up and the db migrations failed. I then tried to skip straight to 12 and that also crashed on startup during db migrations, so I just nuked the whole Jellyfin config and started from scratch.

Bit unfortunate how this can even happen, but it's on me for not checking or taking a backup first. The config/db really contain anything important anyways, other than "watched" markers that are already out of sync for me across Emby/Jellyfin/Plex.
