  • this matches my experience too. good IDEs or editors with LSP support allll the way.

    also wanna add that it’s weird to me that we turn to LLMs to generate mountains of boilerplate instead of… y’know, fixing our damn tools in the first place (or using them correctly, or to their fullest) so that said boilerplate is unnecessary. abstractions have always been a thing. it seems so inefficient.


  • I wish people stopped treating these fucking things as a knowledge source, let alone a reliable one. By definition they cannot distinguish facts, only spit out statistically correct-sounding text.

    Are they of help to your particular task? Cool, hope the model you’re using hasn’t been trained on stolen art, or doesn’t rely on traumatizing workers on the global south (who are paid pennies btw) to function.

    Also, y’know, don’t throw gasoline to an already burning planet if possible. You might think you need to use a GPT for a particular task or funny meme, but chances are you actually don’t.

    That’s about it for me I think.

    edit: when i say “you” in this post i don’t mean actually you OP, i mean in general. sorry if this seems rambly im sleep deprived as fuckj woooooo










  • mh yeah my bad, didn’t mean to sound so abrasive.

    you’re right i didn’t know the reason (or rather, i remember the reason a long time ago being something along the lines of “we disabled downvotes to improve conversation”, so that may be a memory issue on my part). i would have interpreted the first reply more charitably if it weren’t for the “blahaj is to protect queers, feel free to move instances :)” as if i wasn’t a transfem who’s been on fedi (and other sites) for a while now and seen her fair share of shit thrown at her.
