We have removed it now, but when we used it we tweaked it to tell us only what it thoughts were major issues and ignore the rest because we had the same exact problem. Most comments were garbage
I am surprised of how many people here are claiming they review the results of multiple agents working on different prs at the same time constantly context switching between them.
I just focus on one, I use on purpose very short interactions because I want to check every single function directly and not a whole 300lines file or 2000lines pr just at the end. Probably I am going slower than most of you but I feel I retain the knowledge of my codebase almost as good as when I was the one writing the code directly, and my PRs get very few review comments
What get me tired the most is when people submit to me a pr to review and I see immediately they full vibe coded it and just delegate to me the actual hard work of correcting the nonsense written in it with a single prompt without interactions. The worst is when you ask someone why they implemented something that way and they answer with "well calude made it, I really didn't think about it, now that I read it it makes no sense indeed"
I love monero but then you have the problem that very few exchanges support it and if you need to convert big amounts of it in common currency it gets quite hard to do compared to eth/btc
It depends if you were a dev who liked more the micro parts or a dev who liked more the macro parts. To compare, think about going to an artisan or a musician or a painter (or any creative like most programmer who started by being passionate about it) and telling him "well now you can ignore the fine details, there is a tool which does that for you and you just focus on the less mundane tasks."
I for sure know I would get a slap in the face
When studying the psychology of criminals in prisons for extreme violent crimes what really surprised me was that, from the beginning until the end, most of them had an internal justification sort-of belief system about why they were actually the good guys and their violent and often brutal repeated acts were just to punish those they saw as the actual bad guys even indirectly (like sexually assaulting a person was just to punish all those "bad" people that never let them live peacefully their sexuality)
I am not in META but for what I read on blind, assuming it is true, they are not spending any time in long planning sessions or in getting into details of the implementation plan at all, and they could not anymore considering how many PRs in parallel they are requested to manage
My experience is the same, I can put that decision in the prompt, in a skill, in a hook, in agent.md, etc, it doesn't matter, after few iterations it starts again using useless python scripts to do anything from linting, to error checking, to parsing one liners of code, etc etc...
oh yes, exactly the same things are happening to me
I am curious about how the companies that claim their devs never wrote or reviewed a line of code in the last 6+ months react to this... they basically would have to just judge how the candidate writes a prompt or gathers the information to write it
I noticed a few weeks ago it started being very bad at explaining things (even things itself was doing) and started committing absurd errors (like reading a test of 5 lines and not noticing there was an explicit mock created in one of those, then saying that the test was failing while it was not)
I fear this is just the classic "nerf the model just before we release a new version of it"
The thing I like about console compared to pc (which I use the most for gaming) is the total absence of cheaters except maybe a super minority.
To make an example try to play a multiplayer famous fps (like battlefield6 or cod) on console and then on pc, it's not even the same experience. On pc it is basically full of aimbotters, wallhackers, nodamagers, etc every single damn game, on console you get the actual safe experience. Sadly this is one of the reasons why I play mostly only pve games on pc
To me it seems the bun guys are those with fragile emotions (it's just that the more fragile quality of their code is more evident)
These things are done not to block pr done with the help of ai, but to block the ai slops pr, aka those never reviewed, fully vibecoded, and with the submitter that didn't understand anything about the problem or the code, just trusted claude.
The rule is general on purpose to allow the maintainer to freely remove whatever is very evident is just ai slop
exactly, I for example don't care usually about false positives, in the very uncommon case it happens the pr creator can discuss and prove he actually understood the problem, the codebase, the project policy and how to explain his solution actually could work.
How they enforce it in every other project with the same policy, if the reviewer/maintainer suspects the pr is ai slope he closes it. That's it, it works fantastically well, I do the same even in my job

from the world.hey.com dept.
opus 4.6 -> 4.7 did not respect this assumption
It is just in USA and some other few nations. In most of the rest of the world a sw dev is paid just a bit more than a standard office job
easy to deploy, latest versions of the language are ok, has some of the best web frameworks to work with, absurd amount of experienced programmers can be found on the market
I never understood this. We build in Europe, over earthquake-risk zones, with bricks and steel and we follow rules to make them earthquake resistant. It is not a problem anymore since like the 1980. We now have also methods to make old and very old brick buildings earthquake resistant without demolishing them
throw in some async too and I really lose myself most of the times
The main problem is they tried to be a middle way between a forum and a wiki with only correct answer (even if as some other have said, they never wanted to acknowledge that especially in programming the answer is correct or good or valid only for a certain amount of time most often than not)
What we actually need:
- the owner of the question must be the only one capable to say if an answer is good or not for his question
- no other user must be able to modify the question of the owner even if they think it is badly explained. They can always suggest modifies but the owner can decide if to accept them or not
- the moderators can try to suggest "hey we think this is a duplicate of that" but the owner must be the one to accept or reject it. Even if he says "I just want a more current answer, the one you linked is 4 yo" the moderators must accept his decision and keep the question open
- moderators must act aggressively against people (and other moderators) saying things like "this sound like some homework" or "you better use technology y instead of x" or similar
- answers older than a few years should have a visible flag on them signaling that probably that answer is not anymore the best possible one and to be careful using it and, if it doesn't work anymore, to open a new question tagging the old one
agree with this, at this point all my toy projects, even those of a few lines, are in typescript (with bun.js so I don't have the overhead of configuring node for ts)
This is just a promotional post for a book, there is no actual content in this link
yes, in Italy for example you pay 0.2% annually on whatever you hold (stock, bonds, cryptos, etc) even if you sell nothing or they depreciate compared to the year before
you can deactivate them. In my installation on linux they were disabled by default and it asked me if I wanted to activate them (just one time) to support the browser
Yes and I would join a company/startup/whatever far earlier instead of passing so much time in university (not that I think the degree was not worth it, I would just start working asap and taking the courses as part-time student).
The same car model just 10 years ago went for half the price. Same for the fiat Panda. In the meantime salaries have not double at all (in some nations they even fell)
25k is quite a lot for many average salaried people in Europe, indeed the step bump of price (almost 2x in 10 years) of non-electric cars already put the eu market in a dire position where most people are not able to replace their car anymore and keep using very old cars with very high pollution outputs
They would not, they just serve contextual ads related to the things you are looking at the moment (which often are far better than the tracking ones)
