"Less code means less code to maintain, fewer bugs"

But hasn't that always been the case? I'm unsure how is this is something we're just starting to wonder, did AI erase the collective understandings that people had obtained throughout the years?

[Matt Pocock @mattpocockuk]

Starting to wonder if the smartest way to reduce slop is just to produce less code

Force code review to continually reduce code while ALSO keeping cyclomatic complexity low

Less code means less code to maintain, fewer bugs

Amongst my friends, Spotify is the lowest quality consumer app we still pay for. It certainly hasnt gotten noticeably better in the last couple years (arguably worse). So, this is not the positive look Ant and Spotify are spinning here.

Bigger picture, this is the problem with a lot of AI reporting. It reports completely meaningless metrics like deploys per day or LoC. Why don’t we start reporting consumer satisfaction reports? Actually end state research results.

All the no nuance AI people always come out and think that this is anti AI. Again, I think AI is great and Claude is great. But this is bad marketing and makes both look like clowns.

I have no context, and I must loop

[shadcn @shadcn]

Sometimes I leave out context and just sit and watch the agents struggle. Reminds them who's still in charge.

@DavidPalomo @fernandezpablo Esta no es para nada una comparación adecuada, por lejos.

[stupid tech takes @stupidtechtakes]

smart take

@minchoi Not even two seconds in and the guy behind the car already vanished so yeah good luck with that one

[Jesús Marín @personal_yisus]

Yes and it is not even close

[wangbin579 @wangbin579]

Have you ever seen worse code than this?

TAKE ME BACKKKK 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[Adam Wathan @adamwathan]

It's 2014.

You're writing code in Sublime Text, managing projects in Trello, and building UIs with Bootstrap 3.

You don't know it yet, but this is as good as things will ever get, and it's only downhill from here.

[Tom Sydney Kerckhove @kerckhove_ts]

SQL was made "so that even business people could make database reports" only to find out that business people don't want to do that and will still ask programmers.

LLMs were made "so that even non-technical people could program"...

[Jesús Marín @personal_yisus]

@rebane2001 This is incredibly cool, and reminds me of the fun and wonder I used to feel when doing silly things at the beginning of my webdev career

boy do I miss that, thank you

A SCAM pulled off by one of the Top 3 contestants in this hackathon, won whopping 75 Lakhs of funding just by rebranding @brave Browser!
This is bigger than one can think!

"[somebody] who doesn't just write code but orchestrates it through the power of AI."

we are cooked.

no config no cry

[major tom @tailwiinder]

Of course let's remove the file that's causing issues, Claude. What a lovely idea.

[Jesús Marín @personal_yisus]

If some of my coworkers could read they would be extremely offended by this

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

enterprise coding: why solve a problem with 500 lines of code when 30000 will do

“Oh didn’t think about that”

IT
HURTS

[JT @jiratickets]

New guy at work (recent CS grad) doesn’t test anything he builds AT ALL

- Tells me it’s done
- I try it and it fails
- Show him the error
- Tells me “oh didn’t think about that”

Do people not check their work these days?? There are art history students more capable than this.

[Jesús Marín @personal_yisus]

Our literal job is to think, understand and solve problems

[Тsфdiиg @tsoding]

Programming is understanding. If you don't understand what you are doing, you are not programming. You are generating text.
