We're living in such a stupid time.

Yup. I can expect an llm to write proper code to update an hashmap or update a db, but ffs the amount of race conditions, use after free and general concurrency issues I found on colleagues PRs developed fully with these things is disgusting.

They have tokens to spend and managers are mentally ill and want AI in everything

Google is gasping hard for any meaningul AI use

Good, it was a piece of bad software not to call other things. Who though it was a good idea?

All that snark and you're still wrong, fiber is very important OP is correct

The ones who get bothered when someone takes a firm stance against their (HN) beliefs

I've seen the likes on the codeberg posts as well

That comment section is filled with HN types

You people really have rotten morals

You know also what was the biggest help for these companies? All the data they scrapped from the internet, the books they torrented, the open source projects whose licenses they did not respect.

The least these companies can do is to publish everything they own

I worked with mid level devs that would write 5 lines of code (literally) and run it through an llm for validation, so yeah they were spending tokens like crazy. They end up being more expensive to the company with no added benefit

Exactly. At my previous work we spent an awful amount of time planning and architecting the solutions and refining them. No matter the person who prompted or the model used, the solution was never close to satisfactory.

Layers of unnecessary abstraction, weird decisions (like wth it used triple pointers once) hard to debug issues and obvious race conditions. Segfaults are through the roof and people are burned out and gasping hard to solve the bugs. I called their attention to this at the time and I was ignored and a bit laughed about. I left and couple months later I know others are too.

This person and company are disgusting. Engineers should grow a backbone and stop supporting anything related to Anthropic

So all the blog posts, every 10s on HN, shilling for Anthropic are not ads but this is?

Yes this is a typical case of showing results fast. I wonder what the cost for the remaining 10℅ of debugging and fixing all the bloat will be. Not so cheap I am guessing
