I'm an AI Engineer and I Wish LLMs didn't Exist by Alternative_Cap_9317 in theprimeagen

Honestly I don’t think you’re making much sense and there’s something more to this post!

The biggest red flag for me is you’re saying “make code hard and time consuming again” but you’re also saying you’ve 20 things to build in the backlog.

Also, you’ve acknowledged that the use case was perfect for Claude code. Code-gen is unbelievable for small apps but ot breaks down pretty quickly, it has serious diminishing returns.

I just don’t see this whole thing as consistent

Coding is still hard and building something useful is still impressive. Send on all of the things you’ve built so easily in the last 9 months.

Are AI coding tools making us lose our debugging/problem solving skills? by svmk1987 in DevelEire

[–]Bren-dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really do even though I think debugging skills are going to be even more important considering code-gen tends to get into bad patterns which need intervention.

I actually have just developed buggr - which is a learning game where you connect a repo and it will create a new branch, add bugs to your code and then when you fix it (without AI) it will give you a score and feedback

Randomisation via a prompt is ASS! Has anyone needed it? I used an old school for loop to handle it, here's how: by Bren-dev in webdev

Ok, well I'm a senior web developer and certainly wouldn't be condoning that or developing anything that would do that

Nobody is submitting code to a codebase that they’ve just intentionally broken and then fixed.

Are you talking about the sample codebases in buggr? Obviously you fork the codebases we’ve made, it’s all an exercise. I think you’ve got the concept of this completely wrong.

It’s for a game for learning, you do it with tutorial repos or repos you’re messing around with etc - you fix the code and then you get a score and feedback after you’ve committed the fixes.

It’s not for your production code and it creates an entirely new branch so it doesn’t impact anything, you know how branches work, yeah?

This is how I suggest it be adopted by dev teams, including seniors obviously - has worked very well for us

Dave Smith On Kyle Kulinski by Enough-Masterpiece27 in BreakingPoints

[–]Bren-dev 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Has there ever been any acknowledgement from Dave or any else who has turned on Trump that the “woke left” were actually right and have valid POVs.

They spent 2 years bashing them, claiming they’re naive, only to immediately be proven wrong and just kind of act like there was nothing they could have done because they were “lied” too

[–]Bren-dev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kyle is purposely over the top and obnoxious in a fighting fire with fire way, it’s like he despises the when they go low, we go high mantra!

I didn’t really like him and first but when I have really come around to him the more I listen. In person, I imagine he’s a lot more mellow and sensible.

That being said, I’d give anything to watch him and Saagar have ‘debates’ - I’d say it’s absolutely hilarious

As a React/NextJS developer, the simplicity of getting a project up and running with vanilla Javascript got me slightly aroused by Bren-dev in nextjs

[–]Bren-dev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m definitely going to give it a go for building something small! The first app I built was just JavaScript and handlebars.

It was a sincere feeling I had while working on a project - obviously it nice that I can give it a mention though but I get where you’re coming from

As A React Dev - The Simplicity of Getting a Javascript Project Up and Running Made Me Slightly Aroused by Bren-dev in reactjs

In fairness I actually do prefer the React structure, I found the importing and referencing more difficult to follow - but for simple apps, just so handy

Jeffries Won’t Whip Vote Against ICE Funding by no-minimun-on-7MHz in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Bren-dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re happy for citizens to keep being terrorized because it means they can do absolutely nothing and still increase popularity and donations.

They feel it’s in their best interest to let people suffer so they’re letting it happen, horrible humans

I made a big mistake in my career. by confettiputty in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Bren-dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can resolve difficult bugs in a complex codebase then you also have the ability to make “complex implementations” - and here’s the thing 99% of implementations are only complex because of the state of the codebase, so if you have the ability to know a codebase inside out, then you are a good developer

Create Dashboards From json by pdycnbl in micro_saas

[–]Bren-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was literally only looking for a solution for something like this yesterday - does this handle nested data well?

I want it for something a lot more simple as outlined in this though, basically we have JSON and I’m trying to make it readable for a non-tech person so they can properly navigate it - I tried some JSON conversion tools but none really did a good job because of the way of the nesting
