Do you have the email address of this devil guy? I'd like to chat.
56I never, ever hated my job as a programmer as much as when I was forced to do pair programming. If I'd wanted to be around another person all day, I never would have become a programmer in the first place.
32They forgot vasking an llm for help fixing it for them.
27I actually asked chatGPT about a specific issue I had and solved a while back. It was one of these issues where it looked like a simple naive solution would be sufficient, but due to different conditions that fails, you have to go with a more complex solution. So, I asked about this to see what it would answer. And it went with the simpler solution, but with some adjustments. The code also didn't compile. But it looked interesting enough, for me to question my self. Maybe it was just me that failed the simpler solution, so I actually tried to fix the compile errors to see if I could get it working. But the more I tried to fix its code the more obvious it got that it didn't have a clue about what it was doing. However, due to the confidence and ability to make things look plausible, it sent me on a wild goose chase. And this is why I am not using LLM for programming. They are basically overconfident junior devs, that likes mansplaining.
45I don't do it enough, but I do enjoy using it (it being perplexity.ai) for getting code examples of stuff I'm always looking up over and over. A YAML sample of a Cloudformation or CDL snippet for a very specifically configured resource. A YAML sample of an Ansible module that does a thing. A Python sample of a specific lambda method. A regex for email addresses.

Now there’s two bugs

When I was a kid, I programmed a jump and run game and each time I found a bug, I made a new level in which you needed to use it.
22Sometimes I feel like the only non-tech worker on Lemmy. This place desperately needs more diversity
16That’s a normal consequence of more tech-savvy people leaving Reddit than others. Just gotta wait for spez to mess it up even more and we’ll get a wider variety of people here.
17Oh boy, can't wait for even more neoliberals to have such bold takes as "hmmm, both sides are bad, AKSHUALLY"

This is a small niche site after all - logging in requires knowing about its existance - and reddit is very popular, but not in a good way. Even in disagreement, I have not found that level of hostility here. At some point reddit was starting to become a dead weight in my life, incapable of giving me unique informations.
9Be the change you want to see.
6I hear you. Cheers

Encourage your other non-tech friends and colleagues to join a Lemmy instance then. The fediverse hasn’t gotten big enough and normal people haven’t really gotten to the level of technical literacy yet to be able to come here organically yet
We are here because we are nerds that already care about FOSS.

I love the little bug holding up the stick supporting everything in the stack overflow.
16That's exactly what I was reminded of. There truly is an xkcd for everything.

This is missing printf debugging.
14Console is a log "file" on Linux. You could tail your pty if you really wanted to...

Where's the
console.log('here')? That would be the equivalent of a "you are here" on a map.5git bisectis just this guy jumping through portals to alternate universes where the bug either exists or doesn’t4this is so deaf people know what the words sound like?
