I am losing it at how many of my peers have forgotten what software engineering is.

Why waste weeks on design
When you could waste six months on coding?

@bert_hubert we're going to have to express technical debt in kiloyears now

It is crazy how we never really moved on from bonusses from more LoC.

@root42 @bert_hubert I have seen so many weird takes on IA these last few days, it took me a long time to understand this is sarcasm, and not another take from someone that believes Claude is a better architect than the people with actual domain experience. Sorry, that's on me!

I guess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law never loses 😅

@bert_hubert wait, it isn't?

@bert_hubert Every program without a specification is bug free!

@drscriptt @StumpyTheMutt @BlackIkeEagle @bert_hubert Once you invest that -- which you should have anyway, good docs, instructions for new contributors -- you have a loop that turns GPU cycles into bug fixes.

@abucci @bert_hubert what they are doing is a disappointment.

[drscriptt@oldbytes.space]

@Nymnympseudonymm @StumpyTheMutt @BlackIkeEagle @bert_hubert I think I’ve seen people try to say AI / LLM can produce good results without the upfront work.

I question the veracity of their suggestions.

@bert_hubert exactly.. just as mathematics isn't about numbers..

@bert_hubert@eupolicy.social but more code = more better surely :D

@bert_hubert I always consider a negative lines of code counter on a pull request to be a badge of honour.

@bert_hubert In the age of AI how would anyone still know what anything is?

@bert_hubert
Specifications and requirements are 80% of the workload of an actual software engineering project. The 20% left are just for coding and the other 20% are for debugging.
