What do you mean by decline? Years ago I’ve been involved in a local ruby community in Poland and even back then his takes were considered unhinged.

Huh, what happened? Would you mind linking some more details?

Depends on how they are used. They are extremely useful when they add context that is otherwise not present in the code, but way too often I see people simply restating what the code does in the comment. That’s not very useful and can become confusing if the code later gets updated without updating the associated comment.

Oh for fucks sake, how am I supposed to do my computering now. I already switched to lix after the last drama. Hopefully more people will pick aux up now.

Huh, the shit people go as far as to in order to avoid getting a therapist

Signal is finally close to releasing a cross platform backup system: https://signal.org/blog/introducing-secure-backups/

So the normal debuggers that we have for ages, right?

They need debugging tools specifically designed for AI-generated solutions.

What the hell does that even mean, lmao?

Focus on AI tool literacy: Developers using AI tools daily show 88% favorability compared to 64% for weekly users. This suggests proper training and integration strategies significantly impact outcomes.

I’m surprised that alphabetical lists are included. Maybe my brain has completely rotten, but keeping the data sorted is pretty neat for efficient processing

I’m sure her surveys are immune to sampling bias and therefore perfectly represent the general population. /s

Is that a comedy account? The announcement surely reads as if it was…

If the purpose of a metric is to show adoption, the metric can be defined in a way to show adoption. Could be just an effect of promo driven culture, AI push and good’ol Goodhart’s law.

Like, how do you even measure when code is ai authored and when not. If you insert 25% of a variable name and the autocompleter guesses the rest of the name correctly, are the remaining 75% AI generated?

He also did sawzall, but thankfully that didn’t get widely adopted

It’s called “data chauffered”: instead of following the data, tell it where it needs to take you
