Just imagine the slop.

I’m imagining functions that only exist to fix the incorrect output of other functions, God knows how deep.

This is the same kind of argument that you shouldn’t have to wear seat belts because just don’t crash, duh.

Why do we have traffic lights?? Just don’t hit each other, duh.

You shouldn’t need emergency shutoffs at gas stations, don’t have a fire stupid!

Hand rails on stairs? C’mon, just don’t trip.

Confirmarion dialog on deleting data? Well, just don’t click the wrong thing 🤦

It’s beyond obtuse

And completely missed the entire problem of human error. Which is one of the only constants we can always rely upon in every situation in every industry everywhere.

Being ignorant of something this pervasive and uniform across all humanity is not an excuse.

I’ve seen this thread somewhere else before.

Same thing different context.

And I seem just like before that it’s because the user is entering what are very predictable words or phrases and they are just not putting two and two together.

Naw, This is honestly the direction that software engineering is going to go. AI becomes more capable over time.

We are eventually going to stop writing code and focus more on writing specifications. The development of languages that allow us to write and maintain better specifications is going to accelerate that in the same way, that higher level languages allowed us to accelerate writing code for the purpose of it being transformed into some form of bytecode. We are now in the early stages of needing a language that better facilitates the authoring of detailed specifications that can then be ran through code generation in more predictable and scalable manners.

I see nothing wrong with developing a new language. If it works it works. If it doesn’t it doesn’t and we all learned new shit. I’m not sure why so many people in this thread hate science.

I learned this one the hard way when trying to query GeoJson data, and trying to get specific, constrained, data about specific features within an area. Excluding features the user doesn’t have access to.

Sometimes this got up to 65k features.

Over here feeling all posh with DataGrip (Jetbrains).

It’s honestly so much better if you’re in DBs a lot.

Had to use gett when I visited Tel Aviv a few years back. That’s about it

It’s already in use responsibly.

And irresponsibly.

Turns out that you can’t really argue the slope of responsibility as a way to shoot down a tool, when that’s an individual choice of how someone uses that tool.

I love seeing these outside views from folks who aren’t developers 🤣

Gen AI is pretty well integrated into development pipelines at this point. In ways that are subtle and quite useful.

Especially autocomplete as you write code, and boiler plate autofill. These used genai, are subtle and not necessarily intrusive, and are pretty widely integrated across the development ecosystem.

Like everything the poison makes the dose. The larger the dose of genai the more poison you are introducing into your work.

You can’t really host your own AWS, You can self-host various amalgamations of services that imitate some of the features of AWS, but you can’t really self-host your own AWS by any stretch of the imagination.

And if you’re thinking with something like localstack, that’s not what it’s for, and it has huge gaps that make it unfit for live deployment (It is after all meant for test and local environments)

Same, having the freedom to ride my bike wherever I could and meet and play with other kids was crucial to my social and personal development.

Which is honestly a travesty.

Kids need to be able to have freedom to play, explore, and be out and about.

Society making it dangerous and discouraging what is necessary for healthy development is not great for society.

Well yeah!

That’s the CD part :)

We’re rolling the same thing, except with all our cloud infrastructure, our code, and various integrations.

Automatic deployments are so great, as long as you trust your integration process and test suites.

There’s a reason we value the local development environment.

You can run everything locally, the only use for the cloud environment is for CD.

Oh, you get the benefit of explicit scanning?

We get the beauty of every file that’s modified being scanned before the write “completes”. It’s an absolute joy starting a build and watching ~80% of the available compute be consumed by antivirus software.

Or, you know, normal filesystem caching as part of your tool’s workflow.

Or dependency installing and unpacking…

Or anything actually that touches a lot of files.

No, no they are not.

Bad ones? Yeah, just like that.

Either you don’t get it or you’re being intentionally obtuse.

Education is kind of required for a democracy to function effectively in this new age of global communication. Where previously every village had an idiot, now every idiot has a village, And without good education and good critical thinking, this is an expanding and compounding problem.

As such, democracy is doomed and societies that are spiraling will continue to spiral until whatever else forms, forms

I’m guessing some sort of dystopian oligarchy, since society’s in this state seem to be incapable of not handing over land wealth, power and decision-making control to just a few wealthy individuals.

Using a new IDE is always a painful undertaking TBF.

I switch from visual studio to rider in order to better support my co-workers on macs. And I have never looked back, it’s just too damn good.

Though, the settings for exceptions and when to break are never right for me. While VS has it right, right out of the box.

How do I do this from an app like Boost?
