  • Idk man. I’ve certainly become more lenient in Code Reviews because I have to do like 5 a day instead of 2-3 a week, all with like 2k lines of changes. I literally don’t have the time to fully read tests anymore, I mostly just skim them and check whether they have an assess statement that looks somewhat reasonable.

    Hell, I’ve recently had a meatpuppet of a coworker brag about how his implementation of a Card component for the UI library had 199 tests. I’m so glad I wasn’t assigned to review that shit. But it sure looks great to the higher-ups 🫠

    Hopefully working on the Linux Kernel doesn’t suck as much as working for a big corp.






  • I just learned about WebXR so yesterday I set up a new Angular project to build a VR game in (it’s Angular because I couldn’t figure out how to use the a-frame libraries custom html tags in React/JSX).

    Using Javascript for calculating how 3d objects interact doesn’t feel too bad, but there is something uniquely cursed about defining those objects in plain ol HTML.



  • That’s pretty accurate, but only the good case. Burnt out programmers still have some kind of system understanding and some kind of leftover appreciation for good software architecture, they’ve just been battered down by years of the stupidest requirements, deadlines and incompetent management. Even with AI they usually keep a hand on the wheel and aren’t particularly set on always using it for everything. Maybe they’ll even start advocating for AI because they can’t imagine anyone using it in a different way than they do.
    The bad case is all the people who never cared about anything to begin with and aren’t any more emotionally attached to writing code than they are to filling out an excel sheet. That’s the kind of people that will absolutely derail an entire project by vibecoding it into the ground and then arguing for every single thing Claude changed. “You have to be able to understand/code this yourself” does stop them dead and they will piss and shit themselves because they can’t do anything and aren’t used to feeling stupid.Tbh I mostly like no-AI policies because it’s funny to see those meltdowns 🤷






  • For real though. That’s exactly how I feel when someone claims that their AI helps because it comes up with ideas for them. Like what sort of dull and unimaginative existence does someone who isn’t bombarded by ideas 24/7 have?! Next you tell me that you don’t constantly fuck up recipes because you got bored and deviated from the instructions for no real reason smh
