Its hilarious to me that before AI, I would suggest we refactor our code base to make it more readable and easier to understand and would get all the excuses. “Oh we don’t have the time”. " we could introduce bugs". “We would need to test that”

Now when I mention to make the code easier for an LLM to understand, they’re chomping at the bit for it.

Using LLMs to write code was never about making it easier. Its only about making it faster. All product teams only care about how fast you can get a product to market. Even before LLMs, that’s all they cared about. That’s why we have to sit through excruciating meetings playing planning poker, only to constantly remind them that two story points does not mean two days.

Edit: I knew I was going to trigger everyone by mentioning story points

Exactly. I do the same thing.

I even put bazzite with KDE on my mothers computer because she started complaining about windows being slow and seeing ads on her start menu. My mother isn’t very tech saavy, but bazzite was perfect for her use case and it just works. So far no complaints at all in about 6 months.

You really think one person reviewed over a million lines of code in 11 days?

Dead space and dead space 2

I don’t give a fuck what their opinion of Israel is, this shit is not fucking cool and this video alone will make sure I never ever see this band ever

Yeah, but only one of them uses UNIX

I don’t agree with this at all. syntax highlighting is more useful when looking at small chunks of code. I only need to know the difference between the two words next to each other, or if I properly closed a string definition.

I should memorize my theme colors? give me a break. the only one I need to know is which one is a string, the rest are “code”

I wouldn’t vehemently disagree with this so much if the article didn’t make so many assumptions, and was in a more conversational tone. “Getting it wrong” sounds pompous, but if you just talked about how YOU used syntax highlighting, I wouldn’t care so much
