Yeah, can’t find anything on dotnet getting poisoned by AI slop, so until you link it, I’ll assume you’re lying.

Everything from this

So we have conventions as we make enterprise software

to this

forget the file name now ).

Is a convention based code generation. It’s older than my tenure, so it’s older than 15 years. Having convention-based code generation is something that you do as a part of DRY rule, so somewhere after you’ve noticed that you’ve done it three times. The real boom for it was when the current hype that was supposed to get rid of programming jobs were no-code/low-code solutions.

Or I can write a comment like // Filtered clients

This is either reusable code composition or again convention based code generation.

The same for sorting things, sure I know how to sort arrays but why should I waste brain capacity on this when LLM is more than capable.

This is DRY. Create once sortBy(x=> x.name) and then import it whenever you need it.

. If I don’t know how to do something, like recently I need to integrate an app with Sage using Intracct SDK and I have no fucking idea, so I’ll get the LLM to show me how do I get Reporting Periods, Nominals, Transactions etc. then I’ll use what I learn in a console app to play around and work on getting and setting data. Then I’m ready to implement into the product.

Fair. POC is the only part where I could maybe see some gain in my use cases.

play around […] Then I’m ready to implement into the product.

Be cautious about this approach though. Usually just playing with the thing will make you a beginner with it, so usually it’s a good approach to read the documentation/manual and see where the bodies are buried.

My boss charges £2000-2500 an hour

First class grifter, respect.

Like many times I asked him stuff in passing and responses just blow me away and sometimes I just have to accept dude is way smarter than me and I’ll just never get certain concepts.

To me that’s a sign of a bad teacher. He might be a very good engineer, but not being able to tailor your responses to your junior - to me shows a lack of leadership skills.

Edit: if this is effort to read then I’ve added a reply to it with it fixed by an LLM to be more coherent and palatable

Bejesus, man, I’m not stupid, don’t feed me slop. I care about you, not about the translator dumbing you down to be a palatable to mediocre people.

Man, I wish LLMs were more useful to me than line completion tool we already had in normal languages in normal IDEs.

So far everything I’ve seen it do even with agentic approaches, is just not covering my use cases.

At best I can have it generate some correct-ish terraform boilerplate. Or writing mediocre code in languages I have to use once in blue moon, that I still then have to correct. Cursorrules are meh.

Me: fintech, 15y of exp.

On the other hand I can imagine it creating some bullshit boilerplate in companies that require bullshit boilerplate.

Btw I don’t think code throughput is what distinguished Junior from Dev. I rather think it’s realizing the steep decline in “Doner-Kebab” effect :)

Thanks dude. I’m not sure what I’m looking at though. As I mentioned in the top post, I’m new to this and it’s not my hobby.

You listed hardware, but gave no context how good it is for my needs - I think that’s why you got downvoted.

Thank you~!

I want to spend as little time on it as I can. Then I’d like to minimize the initial cost of it, or at least cost of exploitation.

I’m fairly busy with my hobbies (Lego and Arkham Horror LCG), so I’m looking for the solution. I’d rather spend more money than more time.

On the other hand, if I waste money on garbage I’m going to be cross and do it from the scratch again, so I’m trying to hedge my options before I commit - if that makes sense.

Thank you for the tip. Regions sucks, its 350$ for me :(

Edit: and its 195 through gmktec website

Thank you.

Next week 2 month / year when you decide to run something else or more, not so much.

Could you maybe give me an example of what that could be? I might be not knowledgeable enough about what I could do with it.

I don’t want to hear the fans

To be precise, only when not in use. When it’s working then yeah, its gonna cool down somehow.

Thank you, but I don’t want to keep my desktop running. The cooling noise, the electricity. Did I mentioned the fans? They are quiet but I can hear them, I want something that goes silent and wakes up when needed.

That’s property manager you’re thinking of, not a landlord.

Literally renting a home is not a service. Service creates something of a value, and adds it to the world. What is the property rent’s “service”? Did they replace furniture with gold in the recent years? Or given the rent hikes, did the gave you a blowjob or smthing, as a part of the “service”?

Bar space-level problem where radiation can randomly shift your bits, I think yes.

Ah, folly of untyped systems. Tbh this behaviour makes sense given the rules implemented within the language. Anything passed to parseInt is casted to string and then parsed.

Is it shitty behaviour - yes. Does it make sense in given the language implementation - yes.

Howdy. How do you make a board? Do you maybe also sell them?

Thank you

Thank you

Thanks. Does that cover all “removed by mod” actions, on all instances, or is there something missing?

I know I have had more messages removed (one was about Daily Show calling Chinese president Winny the Pooh).

PHP has got a lot of new features in the language that makes it a little bit like c# now, so it’s not that bad anymore :P

Restart your phone, so if it’s malware it will be able to hide. Yesh, makesh shenshe.

Close but no cigar. It’s also about collecting as little data as possible. Company can be sued or fined if a data collection is deemed excessive.

same people would argue static typing is better then dynamic typing

I mean… It depends. But in my work (buy side finance) - duh.
