  • Vulnerabilities is going to be the same as before as it’s not like we just vibe code the whole thing. It’s akin to Intellisense on steroids.

    As an example we have pretty well defined coding standards and so there is a lot of repetition in how we make calls from Typescript -> GraphQL -> C#. And the fact that CoPilot learns from our code base and then learns how we do thing.

    Why do I want to write the same mutations or queries every time when it’s the same, when LLMs can do it and we can solve NEW problems not the same one over and over.

    Technical debt is certainly down, because take me as recently promoted from Junior to Dev and my bosses hourly consulting rate would be £1000-2000 an hour then me asking less questions saves him a lot of time to actually do the higher level stuff.

    I find it interesting how you would question that my boss, literally the smartest person I’ve ever met in my life wouldn’t have done risk assessments and made a value judgement. After all we get paid more now for less work.

    We don’t just get things done and we go above and beyond for clients. If we quote £50k for an application and we expect it to take 6 months and the client is still refining 12 months later then we do what is right by the client and don’t charge more.

    We have local councils, one of the largest phone providers in the Uk, and other massive clients that always come back for repeat business and recommending us to other people. We do not advertise and we are not short of work.

    I have to wonder how many of these people saying LLMs are useless in this context actually earn money coding and how many just rant about it because it’s the trend here.


  • Have to ask what you used it for for it to be “less than useless” as that seems mighty biased or hyperbolic.

    I’m a software developer and work for a tiny company of 7 employees including the owner engineers.

    We use LLMs everyday and the time it has saved us in real world numbers is massive to say the least.

    It was enough that we all got pay rises and a reduction of hours from 37.5 to 33 per week.

    It ain’t doing our jobs for us but to say it is useless is ridiculous and shows the clear bias of Lemmy on this subject matter. It’s a kin to saying a calculator is useless in making an accountable faster at their job.

    I like this place but at this point it is nothing more than an echo chamber akin to the Donald where discussion is not encouraged for dissenting opinions and it’s just a circle jerk of everybody feeling superior without any intention of making the world a better place.


















  • I like to think I have boundless empathy but for the life of me I can’t put myself in this mindset.

    Like I just want to be nice to all the people I interact with and possibly leave the world a little better because I was here.

    I can’t fathom being against something that has no bearing on me. It’s like a more twisted version of how people were commenting on GTA trailer about how the game sucks rah rah rah, like bro just go and enjoy the things you do like and pass by the things you don’t.

    I don’t like anime, but I also don’t give a shit if you do like it as I probably have hobbies you don’t like.

    Someone help me understand why so many people are like this? I believe I was born with these morals as I’ve had the same upbringing as my siblings, although I saw a lot more fucked up family shit. Yet I’m quite liberal and accepting and my brothers are not really that way. They ain’t conservatives but they certainly get caught up in the noise of hating the wrong people.
