  • WTF, sorry you had to endure this. Sad to see that silencing seems to work, still. Please report their messages.

    To the people messaging you privately: grow some courage and do it out in the open so we know who you are.

    Trans people are just people born in the wrong gender’s body. People who feel the need to attack minorities like this are pathetic losers.





  • No one does that in a project they’re building for themselves.

    Speak for yourself, I always did that and I found it easier with LLMs nowadays.

    I hate most AI shite with a passion but when it helps my colleagues write commits which are more than “add stuff”, “fix some things” I’m fine with it.

    I rarely use AI to generate code, usually only when I need a starting point. It’s much easier to unfuck AI code than to stare blankly at a screen for an hour. I’d never commit code I don’t fully understand or have read to the last byte.

    I hope OP is doing the same. LLMs fail at 90% of coding tasks for me but for the other 10% (mostly writing tests, readmes, boilerplate) it’s really OK for productivity.

    Ethics of LLMs aside, if you use them for exactly what they’re built for – being a supercharged glorified autocomplete – they’re cool. As soon as you try to use them for something else like “autocompletion from zero” aka “creativity”, they fail spectacularly.
