But I get to focus on the parts where that judgement is actually needed and not the more mundane and toilsome parts of coding.
The parts you’re doing yourself are writing tests and fixing vibe-coded bugs. And you’re outsourcing all the creative, design-based aspects of programming. I think you and I have very different definitions of “mundane” and “toilsome”.
For the credit card thing, there used to be an app called Private that you could set up temporary numbers with. I think you could do some level of recurring payments with it too. Not sure it’s it’s been enshittified yet though
Well don’t do that then
Having to figure out hosting, no matter if it’s self, peer, or whatever else hosting, kinda makes this proposal DOA I think. It’s kinda using a jackhammer for a problem that’s already been solved by a screwdriver.
A did is a virtual actor that reroutes to a real actor and collects content across real actors
Where is that virtual actor hosted? If it’s centralized, I feel like it defeats the purpose of user-centric identity control. If it’s user-hosted, that sounds like GPG with extra, even more inconvenient steps.
Yeah I don’t think this is gonna get anywhere when the easiest alternative to controlling your account is to just host your own Lemmy instance, and you can do that literally right now with no changes to Lemmy or the protocol.
It’d be nice for ActivityPub to support optional GPG signatures for those that want to have that level of control. That would get you all the identity verification that this new fangled did stuff gets you, with the added bonus of GPG being a reliable, existing, proven technology that people already know how to support.
I totally agree with you, but I also feel like the level of testing and enforcement necessary crosses the line of what most people will tolerate. You’ll get people screeching about the government making it too hard and too oppressive to drive (which honestly, good).
Anyways, let’s rip out all the highways and replace them with rail lines already, yeah?
All dishwasher pods suck donkey balls though
LLMs can’t just run chromium unless they’re tool aware and have an agent running alongside them to facilitate tool use. I highly suspect that AI web crawlers aren’t that sophisticated.
Ehhhh, calling that a Korean hot dog is generous lol
Lol no, the most writing I do is comments on Lemmy
One of the first things I did at my first full time job (while my very under prepared boss was looking for “junior-dev-friendly” tasks for me to work) was go to git-scm.com and just read through all the man pages I could. I spent a few days doing that, then my boss asked me to create a PowerPoint and present what I learned to the team. It was instantly apparent that I was the only one who knew anything beyond git commit -a on the team at that point, and I was promptly appointed the “title” of “source control SME”. I’ve been heading up version control best practices for every team I’ve been on since (which is scary because the git cli has changed quite a bit since I read all those man pages but I haven’t had a chance to go back and refresh my knowledge).
I swear, no one reads the username they’re replying to lmao.
I didn’t say any of that. I’m not the one that made the original comment that started this thread, I’m not arguing with any straw men. I’m just some guy several comments deep in the thread that decided to contribute.
No one said AI can do absolutely everything soup to nuts.
Yes they did, there’s an entire “vibe coding” industry based on non-developers using AI to write (shitty) software from start to finish. All kinds of software and tech companies are encouraging more and more AI use because they believe AI can write software from the ground up. This article is a direct response to those people.
You circled all the way back to the original point lol. The whole thrust of this conversation is “AI can be used to automate parts of the work, but you still need knowledgeable people to finish it”. Just like “a concrete 3d printer can be used to automate parts of building a house, but you still need knowledgeable people to finish it.”
A good ol’ Mormon thighsoak then
When there’s just two “teams”, yeah. What’s more fair than majority rule in that situation?
Yeah see, based on your other comments on this post, I don’t feel obliged to take anything you say about Linux seriously
lol ya
No, your LLM writes your design documentation and tells you how your application is supposed to work, according to what you wrote.
Also, you’re either writing dead-simple applications, or you’re being incredibly hyperbolic if those are the only questions left left after your design document is written.
