have a really bad dev next to you? just hire the same dev a second time and tell them they are now full time reviewers.

not in a million years

yep, instant skip

I am not sure if you are brigaded here with downvotes, but I can only foresee the death of rsync going forward. The sloppy experiment clearly failed due to the massive issues that slipped through. He is doing it for free, I get it, he has the freedom to do what he wants but we can also jump ship to something with less features and no slop

good if the laws are approved by citizens (you don’t get 40 years in prison for skipping tax vs free pass for pedos) & applied to EVERYONE (you skip tax you get 40 years, parasite twitter guy does that and he get praised of how smart he is

This has to be one of 3 things:

• Their bug/code base is really trivial
• They are not good at their job and missed important things
• The Claude code they are using is really different than the one I am using

Because I was experimenting with LLMs since gpt 3.5, still use them on and off because FOMO and they are still shit for anything that’s not trivial

We have windsurf review bot (uses Claude under the hood I guess), it has 3 states: LGTM, crashed you should try later (never works even after 1000 retries), or the change is too big and refuses to review it.

I am nowhere close to be as smart as him or people like him, but I abandoned a project because of sloppy massive PRs and started refusing to put my name / approval on most PRs at work also because of the same thing, I am the tech person who stayed the most here and not gonna waste my time reviewing slop for others to take credit (just push it with Claude, dev XX will review it properly before it hits prod).

The decline started, but I will keep protecting my side in this company while I am here. I use LLMs occasionally (so I am not going against management trying to make us more productive) to type less, or extract smaller snippets, … but the change is 100% what I had in mind and I hold myself 100% responsible for the output.

who needs calculator when you have next-token-predictor

I agree on your point but I hate calling elites because they are not, they are parasite pedo fungus

simple

I stopped reading there, curl can do crazy stuff, even sending emails.

So now we learned how to make simple guidelines / docs

Nazi or Zionist, what is the difference

Well, that wasn’t my experience when I was a junior, every failure was blamed on me, PR is deliberatelty stretched to look like I am slower and worse than I am, it was a lot of suffering but we all have to start from somewhere.

Most systems also use single user, you normally give yourself docker group access (I use docker for work) and that alone is equivalent to root access. It’s not the 90s anymore where universities gave user access to all students, priv escalation was a big security threat, now it almost doesn’t mean anything, nobody shares the same machine anymore the way they used to do.

if somebody has user access to your computer, they are already 95% there, so I am not worried about these priv escalation part of the last 5%

I know places that I worked for or kept an eye on after interviewing and reaching final stages (talking to founders) doing exactly that

Place A (I worked for): 13 job entries permanently open although they are not hiring and didn’t hire a new person in over 2 years

Place B (I worked for): 1 job entry looking the same for the past 7 years, last one hired for that position started 3 years ago

Place C (open source project with enough funding to hire people): 2 positions permanently open but didn’t hire in 3 years (Rotki)

Place D (similar to C): 4 jobs (CVAT)

Place E (failed Open source + enterprise plan project): 1 job (SuperduperDB)

(I can’t disclose the first 2 for obvious reasons)

So it feels this how it’s gonna be now I guess

Matrix Tuwunel + Element, you will never look back

Patrick you should go fuck yourself, you are not different from that low life systemd age field PR asshole

Progressing is cool, but having 10 yoe and still outputing spaghetti is bad. I am just saying if you care enough about what you are doing you are top 10% already
