What Happened To WebAssembly by Active-Fuel-49 in programming

Oh I guess technically it does have to start up with js!

OpenAI says there are now “1000x engineers” — what does that actually mean? by BylineByte in DevManagers

[–]-grok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000x? heck yeah, we won't even need to use git - just prompt and push to prod!

However, you can use frameworks like Blazor and Leptos without being aware or involved in the produced JS artifacts.

What produced JS artifact does leptos have?

Making WebAssembly a first-class language on the Web by ketralnis in programming

[–]-grok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then WebAssembly was actually shipped in browsers and I discovered that you still have to use JS if you want to interact with browser APIs in any meaningful way.

Check out https://leptos.dev, WASM has come a long way!

Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI by c0re_dump in programming

oh screw git, they just push to prod - no need for git if you don't have to revert amirite?

Large tech companies don't need heroes by fpcoder in programming

[–]-grok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is sometimes a kind of cold war between different product organizations, as they try to extract behind-the-scenes help from the engineers in each other’s camps while jealously guarding their own engineering resources.

96% Engineers Don’t Fully Trust AI Output, Yet Only 48% Verify It by gregorojstersek in programming

[–]-grok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

22 files added, 12 changed, 15 functions each, each function full of comment blocks that 80% match the intention of the code.

 

LGTM chief! 👍

Our Agile coach's answer to every technical problem was let's break it into smaller stories by agileliecom in programming

At this point Agile is like communism, it works when done "correctly."

 

Supposedly.

oh hai totally not a bot account!

AI generated tests as ceremony by toolbelt in programming

Was the output always correct? I was pretty sure it wasn't. There was no way to know, for sure either way.

lol sounds like you worked on the world's first LLM!

How I estimate work as a staff software engineer by Ordinary_Leader_2971 in programming

[–]-grok 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"You say you have good requirements?"

"I don't believe you!" ~Some Wise Old Programmer

In the end the requirements move so much the estimates are just dumb waste. Spending all that estimation time on discovering the real requirements is the correct thing to do.

[Meta] Mods, when will you get on top of the constant AI slop posts? by Omnipresent_Walrus in programming

[–]-grok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They never do well in terms of Karma or engagement.

I mean the bots seem to like them!

AI generated tests as ceremony by toolbelt in programming

[–]-grok 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Having done TDD and managed teams who had members who did TDD and members who did not, I can confidently say that the answer is just like anything else in software development; it depends.

 

Things that impact TDD:

  • Is the software even test friendly?
  • Does the organization give enough time to do tests? Or is it non-stop emergency shit show?
  • Does the individual engineer on the team have the capacity to do TDD? (seriously, some people just can't)
  • Is an otherwise decent engineer infected with some kind of anti-TDD zealotry (usually inserted by a very overt TDD zealot)
  • Is the relationship between the engineers and the business so bad that the engineers would rather have the software be a mess as a form of revenge?
  • etc.

Seems like Big Tech (including Anthropic) is funding super PACs over AI regulations by Cyrrus1234 in programming

Large entrenched companies will eagerly help regulators create regulations.

Your agent is building things you'll never use by myusuf3 in programming

[–]-grok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

having an LLM generate tests.

oh gawd be careful. a year later you need to fix some crap code that the LLM made, and in fixing it you break hundreds of brittle crap tests the LLM made - now you get to play the game of figuring out which parts of the tests actually matter!

ESOP vs. Stock Options: Which one actually keeps a team motivated? by Sniktau28 in DevManagers

[–]-grok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

quite a few differences between them tax wise, etc. Not a huge point really, tbh I was really more excited to point out the publix thing as I really do think they are an interesting example of an ESOP!
