Still watching… Reliable code had very high value before LLMs came into picture and suddenly everyone became okay with mistakes 🤷♂️

@danirabbit@mastodon.online we have been on this path for a very long time LLM generated code is just the most obvious example. The problem that drove us here is that quality doesn't really show on a quarterly report and the ones businesses are bound to keep happy are the ones owning shares. And they want number go up.
Good code happened anyway because people cared. LLMs makes that harder because people think that engineers can output more if they get help with the writing part. That gives less time to "guerilla write" good code. -

Screw lead, this shit is Orangeburg and Transite. It collapses under its own weight -

@danirabbit oh damn that's a great analogy 🔥

@danirabbit Yet another thing our age shares with the end of the Roman Empire.

@thepwnicorn @danirabbit Lead pipes: victims are the users. Asbestos: victims are the workers. Who will suffer the most because of AI code, workers or users?
@ThibaultDu
Both. This is perhaps radium, then...

@danirabbit - And I personally plan to charge through the nose for it.

@danirabbit More like Asbestos. Big chunks will be chopped out expensively by very specialised people but small fibres will always remain and will cause big problems with a very small probability

@danirabbit Recently we were discussing if it's more like asbestos or like plastic (and microplastics). How much thought should be put into stuff like this before it's rolled out globally? Can we simply go ahead and try to fix the problems later?

@danirabbit definitely keeping my "free range, organic" coding in good health in the meantime!

@danirabbit OOS? Sure. Proprietary? There's a collective "that won't be my problem; I'll be rich by then!"

It’s the most terminally online fedi bro thing ever to be like, “um actually asbestos is a better metaphor”. Truly who gives a shit dude. Do you really think that is the important thing to focus on here. Jesus Christ. If missing the forest for the trees was an Olympic sport Fedi Bros would take gold every time

@danirabbit Well, lead pipes will make you lose your mind first, so what do you expect?

@danirabbit
History is so filled with things that people (to be fair, mostly capitalists) thought were really good ideas that turned out to be disastrous that my head spins.Lead in pipes, paint, etc. is certainly one, but, of the top of my head,
Radium watch faces
Thalidomide
Indiscriminately spraying DDT (the pictures of kids running after the trucks are truly mind boggling)
I’m sure there’s plenty more, but, apparently, we need to learn the same lesson over and over and over -

@danirabbit OMG the whole correcting some ancillary and irrelevant point to frame an argument that is winnable while ignoring the whole point is such a thing with dudes.
I wrote a whole ass essay about that shit (funnily, I used pipes as a metaphor) because they would try to pull me into argument about the most random shit. I hate it so much.

@danirabbit sorry, maybe because English isn't my first language but could you speak out your point about missing the forest for the trees?
Like is the missing part related to trying to find a better analogy when the problem is gigantically enormous ethical implications and death of people
or something else?
