Re:Please stop flooding our projects with AI slop to furnish your CV

Its an actual issue, Claude included all the relevant code and filed a detailed one so I don't see whats wrong with that.
Re:Please stop flooding our projects with AI slop to furnish your CV

While exploring an open-source project recently, I noticed a bug in the initial setup. I asked Claude to verify it, and the AI confirmed the issue. When Claude asked if I wanted to file a bug report, I agreed, assuming it would simply generate a formatted text block for me to copy and paste. However, I soon realized it had actually submitted the issue directly to GitHub. It turned out I had the GitHub CLI installed and was logged in with my work account.
Out of curiosity, I then asked Claude to draft an enhancement request for a new feature. It created a highly detailed issue and went on to generate the corresponding code for the enhancement.
I haven't submitted a pull request because the code is written in a language I don't know. Part of me considered submitting it anyway since it works and could be useful, but after reading this post, I think I'll just keep it under wraps.
Re:Jabber/XMPP: 25 Years of Digital Independence

In 2009, I worked for a company that was developing a modified version of Ignite Realtime's Spark IM client and I have vague memory of sending messages to Gtalk from it. Because of Google's support, XMPP was all the craze back then.
It's great to see that Openfire (Ignite Realtime's XMPP server) has had a release even last week! https://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/

Yes, I am surprised that no one talks about the 'live' feature in Gemini app. With camera turned on, it has helped me fix things which I have no clue about.

Eleventy + Decap CMS + gitlab has been working well for our marketing team for the past 3+ years. Also, with Claude/Gemini/Copilot it is a lot easier to edit templates and add new pages when all of the files are right there on your filesystem.

+1. AI agents can also fix minor bugs easily in open source software (it already did in two of the apps I use).

18 years here (more if I can count my non professional years). Agreed, coding isn't as much fun as it used to be but AI has only increased my enthusiasm for tech. Its a lot more easier to learn and understand new stuff, build things (especially personal tools) and tinker in any programming language.

Re:Web development is fun again

I have nearly two decades of programming experience which is mostly server side. The other day I wanted a quick desktop (Linux) program to chat with an LLM. Found out about Viciane launcher, then chalked out an extension in react (which I have never used) to chat with an LLM using OpenAI compatible API. Antigravity wrote a bare minimum working extension in a single prompt. I didn't even need to research how to write an extension for an app released only three to five months ago. I then used AI assistance to add more features and polish the UI.
This was a fun weekend but I would have procrastinated forever without a coding agent.

Even at work, have seen few junior developers use AI browsers to attend mandatory compliance courses and complete quizzes. Not necessarily a good thing but AI browsers may win in the end and it might be too late for Firefox.

Maybe they want more free users to better train their models and don't care about the money (which they already have in plenty?).
In the grand scheme of things, paid users are minuscule. They are probably delighted because of all the free users.

Re:Gemini 3.0 spotted in the wild through A/B testing
on Friday October 17, 2025 @03:32AM (#45614152)
So far, I have had a very good experience using Gemini Live with the camera turned on. Just today, I wanted to find out the name of a spare part inside a bathroom faucet. First, Gemini said it was a thermostatic cartridge, but I responded that it couldn't be, as it doesn't control temperature. Then it asked me what it did, and I said it has a button that controls the flow of water between the tap and shower. It correctly guessed that it was a diverter cartridge.
Re:M5 MacBook Pro
on Thursday October 16, 2025 @05:15AM (#45603137)
Exactly! I too bought the M1 Macbook Air in 2021 because of its great battery life. I wanted a powerful device for hacking on personal projects at home (I use a Dell running Ubuntu at work) but every time I opened it there was always something frustrating about OS X that made it unsuitable for dev stuff (at least for me)
* Finder - this is my most hated piece of software. It doesn't display the full file path and no easy way to copy it
* I still haven't figured out how to do cut/paste - CMD + X didn't work for me
* No Virtualbox support for Apple Silicon (last checked 1 year ago)
* Weird bugs when running Rancher Desktop + Docker on Apple Silicon
But still Apple hardware is unbeatable. My 2015 Macbook pro lasted 10 years and the M1 is also working well even after 4 years.

Ah! my early 2015 13" Macbook pro died only few weeks back. I don't think any other laptop will last nearly 10 years (TBF I did replace the battery and speakers for $280 in 2020 though)

Re:Never fail a technical interview again
on Saturday December 07, 2024 @08:59AM (#42349877)
I let candidates use the Internet (except AI tools) during coding interviews. All I care is if given a problem can they do the necessary research to solve it. It usually involves making them use a library which they are not already familiar with. This is more than enough for most of the programming jobs.
