  • These statements can sum up most of what happening. Companies are always trying to make number go up. Ai is the new fad and they feel that if they don’t use Ai, their number won’t go up as much as their stakeholders expect it to. To not look bad to their stakeholders they jam in Ai anywhere they can fit it, but they don’t know what Ai is or how to use it. I believe this is the case where the how to use it is known however it is a shit tool that codes badly and does not actually understand code, just what is the most probable token to output next.









  • Legendary, I love the idea but sometimes I rely on the models stupidity. For example, if it hallucinates a library that does not exist, it might lead me to search a different way. Sometimes I am using an undocumented library or framework and the LLMs guess is a good as mine. Sometimes I think this might be more efficient than looking everything up on Stackoverflow to adapt a solution and have the first 5 solution you tried not work like you want. What is a less drastic version?







  • Ask Steve why he was working on my feature branch. Steve is not a smart person. He also built a feature that another team was working on, over a weekend and implemented it on Monday morning. The feature was already finished on Friday and the PR was waiting for approval. While 10x devs work fast, they create 10x the work for everyone else. He no longer works here and it turns out he burned every single team with shit like this. It is so hard to get rid of someone who can work fast. When upper management is convinced someone who is productive and smart can do no wrong. They ignore the fucking carnage they create.


  • I wasn’t going to get into the whole lossyness of the formats and just simplified to full image instead of compressed formatted. That is interesting that it is only saving 20%-40%. I was under the impression that the page only rendered the image size necessary to fit the layout and not the full resolution image. Forcing it to less lossy or lossless would mean that the larger image would always be available to be served to be rendered without any web request.
