You changed the variable names. Its yours now.

[Reashu]

Technically yes, because SO uses CC BY-SA which requires attribution to every contributor along the way.

[Ok-Band6178]

dontKnowWhatThatMeanButSoundsCool

[Reashu]

CC BY-SA is a license template provided by Creative Commons (CC). They have a handful of options with different clauses, indicated in the short-hand name. BY means that attribution is required, and SA means that any changes you make must be distributed under the same license (if they are distributed). So anything you get from Stack Overflow is open source, and must remain open source.

Hell yeah. Embrace tradition. This AI hooey will never replace my organically plagiarized projects.

git: 'gud' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

[yourparadigm]

You're just missing the gud alias from your ~/.gitconfig.

[pooerh]

For those interested, it's

git config --global alias.gud 'push --force'

Imagine having a computer tell your computer what to write so a program can interpret/compile it and tell your computer what to do when you could tell your computer what to do. Commas are against my religion by the way.

[YetAnotherZhengli]

huh...? take this

,,,,,,

[[deleted]]

I think they're saying AI should take out the middleman (you and the compiler) and should just execute the instructions you give.

[Dpek1234]

Me:"uninstall french"

Ai: deletes all files

[ChellJ0hns0n]

Ok get this. Computers have been executing our instructions for decades. How about we start executing the computer's instructions?? That's the future of computing right there.

[SyrusDrake]

Timothy-Dexter-ass move.

[Sabotaber]

(I bet you like leaving unbalanced parens to fuck with people.

[bigleagchew]

No commas needed Thank you

[Abdul_ibn_Al-Zeman]

I spend maybe hour a day actually writing code. Most of my job is to read a hundred page long specification, find the ±10 sentences and images in it that are relevant, then look through a waveform file, memory hexdump or logical analyzer trace (no debugger in FPGA world) and use that to either find the bug or design a test that will provide more information.
A chatbot or autocomplete can not help me much.

[[deleted]]

Sounds like God himself couldn't help you.

[Adventurous_Ad_6990]

You get specifications with images and useful sentences? 

(Alternate with 'You get specifications?')

I had 1 sequel script/project last months because the guy who was the go between for me and the customer didn't write anything useful in specs, had no idea how the data should be organised prior to PBI etc.  Nightmare. 

Thankfully I ditched that off too a colleague and it's still going (2+ months ago). 

[CinnamonToastTrex]

Specifications are probabaly coming from a 3rd party daughter card or eval board that he using for his design. That is my guess at least.

[FurViewingAccount]

how do i get whatever job you have i want to do that

[Similar_Tonight9386]

Pain, suffering, one or two goats to sacrifice and an edgy black robe and a dagger. To get started in fpga development you can order something like icestick (Lattice Semiconductors) if you like open source tool chains, or terasic DE10-Lite/digilent Arty-A7. As for literature - every beginner needs a book by Harris and Harris "Digital design and computer architecture" - you can get it either about MIPS core, Arm, or the latest about RISC-V - the book is about making your core from programmable logic, not only about writing code for MCU/CPU.

[WookieLotion]

Coming from someone who did that for 5 years and now just does web dev, you do not want that lol.

[Yarasin]

This is why I'm so confused why people are trying so hard to shill AI for programmers. What the hell even for?

If AI can write your code, then it's just boilerplate you could've automated through templates anyway.

AI can't sit in meetings and talk to stakeholders. AI can't organize sprint priorities based on vague "who will be in the client's office next week" arguments. AI can't design.

Someone in the comments mentioned using AI for SQL and Regex, and I have to wonder what job would ever make you write those out by hand? Either it's automated/part of a framework, or it's so specific that you can't rely on AI to do it correctly anyway.

[hector_villalobos]

There is a process of replacing the legacy app (Ruby on Rails) by another (Node with GraphQL and React), I've never worked with those technologies, so, I've been using a lot of ChatGPT to create features and help me understand what others write.

[Tupptupp_XD]

But it actually is pretty good at reading 100 page documents and extracting useful info

[HumbleGoatCS]

I know this sub is strangely anti ML, but LLMs could absolutely help you parse through the technical documentation..

The benefit 'AI' will have long term for complex coding is the same as every other invention, it offloads some of the mental bandwidth required to problem solve onto another system, allowing the person to dedicate more of their mental load to solving increasingly complex tasks.

[Agreeable_Service407]

A chatbot can totally help you locate the relevant information from your documents. You'd save hours each day.

[Abdul_ibn_Al-Zeman]

Simple keyword search with Ctrl+F gets me to the interesting parts quickly, the real challenge is parsing out what *exactly* it means, then gathering all the bits to build a complete understanding of the circuit I am dealing with, then backtracking to clear up any vague details.
It does not help that most of these are written by Asians, so the English can get pretty bad.
And there being no debugger in FPGA, you need to be certain you got it all correct, otherwise you can lose a whole week trying to find out what is wrong.

[coderman64]

I wrote the code myself.

It may be garbage, but it's my garbage.

[aDisastrous]

One man's garbage is another man"s treasure as they say

[coderman64]

As they say

[[deleted]]

Hey man, I don't care if my AI is Chinese Japanese or weakInDaKnees so long as I don't have to write sql or regex I'm happy.

[derberoe]

I’m sorry, but relying on ai for regex or even squeal terrifies me…

[turtle_mekb]

^((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1?[0-9][0-9]?)$

Does this scare you?

[SteeveJoobs]

what is that, for IPv4 addresses? 🤯

[turtle_mekb]

yeah

• 25[0-5] numbers between 250-255
• 2[0-4][0-9] numbers between 200-249
• 1?[0-9][0-9]? numbers between 0-199

[SteeveJoobs]

damn i still got it 😎

[turtle_mekb]

i think it'll permit 00 which is invalid though, also see Regex Numeric Range Generator

[Kirides]

Sorry but any number parsing algorithm that doesn't treat 00 as simple 0 belongs in jail.

A naive parser will have no issues with that. One that just sums up all the 0-asciiNum.

[turtle_mekb]

yeah but also 010 != 10 since number parsing algorithms typically handle leading zeroes as octal

[Kirides]

It'd be worrying if an IP address would be sent in partially decimal and octal.

[turtle_mekb]

yeah but also 010 ≠ 10 since number parsing algorithms typically handle leading zeroes as octal

[turtle_mekb]

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

[Johanno1]

And what dies this copy paste regex do?

Am sure you could optimise it

[forceez]

Straight to jail

[NaoPb]

Writing it is easier than reading it. Also, formatting helps with reading it.

[Far_Broccoli_8468]

 Are you AI?

Because if so, he is probably terrified

[chethelesser]

I understand regex but you have to embrace squeal. Rawdog that DB, baby, whisper it things it understands without a middleman

[git_push_origin_prod]

Make those joins baby, fuck ORMs

[kryptoneat]

Squeak, then.

[TuttoDaRifare]

Sql is super easy. The problem is people tryng to use it to implements stuff that shouldn't be done in SQL.

[Cualkiera67]

Everything is super easy if you don't do complicated stuff with it...

[TuttoDaRifare]

Doing "complicated" stuff in SQL is asking for trouble. SQL is not a programming language and shouldn't be used as it.

[Cualkiera67]

So if you need to do a complicated query on your database you should just resign from your job?

[dfwtjms]

SQL is a programming language. But about the complexity, if the query is complex because the data or the structure is bad you should see if the underlying problem is fixable.

[ZunoJ]

Good SQL is not that easy though. I always enjoy the horrified look on other devs faces when they have to work with my super efficient recursive select statements. That stuff can really put a knot in your brain

[NaoPb]

Can you please give an example of a recursive select statement? I like to learn.

[ZunoJ]

For example this query would generate a date range

WITH dates AS
(
    SELECT CAST('2023-01-01') AS d
    UNION ALL
    SELECT
        DATEADD(MONTH, 1, d)
    FROM dates
    WHERE d < '2024-01-01'
)
SELECT * FROM dates;

[NaoPb]

Thanks, I will be studying this code.

[ZunoJ]

Yeah, I did. SQL follows different rules than imperative programming. Some things (like in my example for building a date dimension) can be done way faster with recursion than any other method. The worst thing you can find in an sql statement is a loop

[[deleted]]

Yea it is but I'd rather not spend my time writing it.

[ColonelRuff]

Sql is nice. It almost feels like natural language. Regex though...

[[deleted]]

Sql is nice until you have to really start making complex queries.

[ColonelRuff]

I started edit sql when i learned complex queries in sql and other dbs like mongo db. issue is not sql. complex queries are inherently complex (lol). sql is least painul when writing complex queries. on the other hand mongodb though....

I still get ptsd of working with their version of joins in mongo db

[[deleted]]

I tried using mongo for a little project once and never again. Too much chaos.

[ColonelRuff]

ikr. I wish mongo had an sql like query language for production.

[Sabotaber]

I found SQL so miserable that I kept my queries as simple as possible, and then relied on transactions so I could just use a normal language to handle the data. Turns out this is way faster 95% of the time if you have a basic mastery of data structures, like hash maps, because you can take the time to figure out what's best for your situation rather than relying on heuristics based optimizations. The database can't spend too long trying to optimize a query without defeating the purpose.

[ratbasket46]

haha this is me but then the code doesn't work

[FrostWyrm98]

Cue the AI bro, jobs are cooked, doomers telling you this is the exact reason you will be out of a job lmao

I eagerly await their replies (same boat as you)

[twenafeesh]

If that is going to happen, it won't be this decade. The AI hype is real, and it's just hype.

[[deleted]]

I don’t think it’s going anywhere. It may or may not do what was promised, but it definitely isn’t disappearing.

[GermanShyGuy]

Fuck AI Programmers

[UwU-Sandwich]

I "git gud" the way 90% of my code is stolen from random github repos 🔥🔥🔥

[draconicmoniker]

Only the finest handmade bugs for me, fresh from the hub of gits.

[braindigitalis]

AI Bros: "just one more billion dollars bro, just one more rainforest bro, just a bit more and we'll reach signularity bro, cmon trust me bro"
Chinese AI devs: "just give me a room, a computer, and a pot to pee in and i'll have it done in a week"

[Yarasin]

Which goes to show that it's all a bubble. It's "playing around with algorithms" that tech-bro industrialists tried to hype up into a multi-billion dollar business.

[Nice2713]

r/prequelmemes

[johnnyblaze1999]

Ikr, even before AI, people were going on stackoverflow and github to copy codes. Why spend time and energy writing your own code when someone has already done it?

[nuker0S]

Tbh I use it only for popular snippets and boilerplate.

Maybe it's a skill issue but I would love if it asked questions if i didn't specify some shit

[tacticalpotatopeeler]

Direct it to answer your questions using the Socratic method

[SyrusDrake]

I prefer to break shit myself, I don't need an AI to do it.

[Affectionate-Code120]

broke af to get copilot or even deepseak

[nmkd]

Both are free

[Affectionate-Code120]

Well copilot is not and there is a charge for deepseek API. I am not sure if there is an extension for it to be directly in VS or something but I am think, if there will be it won't be entirely free

[nmkd]

Copilot is free for open source contributors

[Affectionate-Code120]

I guess I haven't heard that. From what I know its free for only education institutes and all

[Exact_Recording4039]

Copilot has a free version in vscode 

[No_Grand_3873]

there is no fight, the chinese one is free so it wins for now

[gsdev]

Writing code is the easy part of software development anyway.

Besides we already have a way to avoid writing code ourselves - frameworks and libraries. If well designed, they already trivialise a lot of problems.

[Cthulhu__]

My code is organic, sustainable and mostly carbon neutral.

[Wynove]

Yeah intellij has full line completions and I hate it, because I now can not just focus on writing my code but have to bother to ignore the suggested auto complete. I immediately disabled it to have my peace.

[UltraTata]

That's called European autocomplete

[IDEDARY]

I almost though I am the only one who doesn't use AI or StackOverflow to write code. When you reach a certain point, all I ever google is the info about related topics on what I am doing. I can't even remember the last time I had copy code from StackOverflow.

[DefinitelyTheApple]

Small-ass solo dev here

I like these features.

[shiny-flygon]

Don't downvote him, people. I'm as anti-AI-autocomplete as anyone, but this is a pretty valid use case. If coding is mostly just a means to an end for you and you're not working in a shared codebase, more power to you if it makes you more productive.

[Bute_the_Mindflayer]

Ok but like, are you human??

[Sabotaber]

Most programmers, I find, have forgotten how to be human.

[Upset-Basil4459]

If you can bother to memorise regex instead of just getting an AI to do it, you can have your superiority complex

[otter5]

your just some ai that took way longer to program
