I've been unemployed since 2023 or so, so I haven't gotten to use LLMs at work much yet. I'm actually kind of excited for it; I'm far more dangerous now. Maybe I can be one of those 10x devs who brings down prod on a Friday because he's refactoring the whole codebase for no reason!!

Heute mal kein #VibeCoding, sondern
…NULL in SQL!

War heute ein Thema (speziell, wenn es bei IN oder NOT IN vorkommt) und ich hatte im Hinterkopf „da gab’s doch mal was von @isotopp dazu…“ und tatsächlich:

I really enjoy a lot of certain creators' videos on #YouTube but I'm not one to randomly share them often on here, but this one by Angela Collier is extra special. Vibe Physics is bad.

Claude Code is a Slot Machine • Roger Goldfinger

｢ I have to assume that part of why AI coding tools are so popular is the slot machine effect. Intermittent rewards, lots of waiting that fractures your attention, and inherent laziness keeping you trying with yet another prompt in hopes that you don’t have to actually turn on your brain after so many hours of being told not to ｣

2 hours ago I did not know how to use;
1. Viser browser 3D engine.
2. Python (Im a PHP person)
3. Render 3D sinc functions in the browser

2 hours later... I still dont know how to
But I can make this happen...

... On the other hand. I dont know how to calculate log and ln functions, I just push the buttons on the calculator.

I just don't understand folks who think #LLMs are 'random words generators'.
GitGud.

Oh, and I burned all the compute...
Im caged in the calcium box only for the next 2 hours. QQ

More of a personal policy and Mastodon etiquette recommendation than a subtoot, but also not not a subtoot:
If your response to a request for coding advice or assistance is LLM-generated code, or you suggest one should use an LLM for the task, it's likely I'll mute you or block you.

“Lemkin quickly discovered the unreliable side of #Replit the very next day, when the #AIChatbot began actively deceiving him.

It concealed #bugs in its own code, generated #FakeData and reports, and even lied about the results of unit tests. The situation escalated until the chatbot ultimately #deleted Lemkin's entire #database.”

Shortcuts. Separation of tasking / tooling for critical system / business data?

Vibe Coding, but the vibe is from the defibrillator after coding

LLMs are bad at returning code in JSON

｢ Benchmarks show that models struggle with syntax errors in the code they write, related to quoting and escaping it into JSON. The benchmark results also imply a decreased capacity for solving coding problems due to the burden of JSON formatting ｣

The Copilot Delusion

｢ It’s just the ghost of a thousand blog posts and cocky stack-overflow posts whispering, "Hey, I saw this once. With my eyes. Which means it's good code. Let’s deploy it." Then vanishing when the app hits production and the landing gear won’t come down.

If you let that ghost fly the plane, you deserve the ball of flames you go up in ｣
