@bert_hubert wait, it isn't?

@bert_hubert Every program without a specification is bug free!

@Nymnympseudonymm @BlackIkeEagle @bert_hubert Are the bugs that trivial? The kind I run into are "router drops packets every 55 seconds when packets per second exceeds 900"

@Nymnympseudonymm @StumpyTheMutt @BlackIkeEagle @bert_hubert I dare say that a lot of the investigation has been done to identify the behavioral problem by the time you get to this point. I think this work effort is where much over hyped automation fails.
@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.

@drscriptt@oldbytes.space @bert_hubert@eupolicy.social I personally know more than one person who's spent years writing about some method, let's say TDD, going to conferences presenting their ideas etc, fully independently of their employer. Said folks are now slinging AI slop and writing about how great LLMs are. Blaming the employer doesn't pass a smell test.
@abucci @bert_hubert what they are doing is a disappointment.

@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. -
