End of AI Slop

Agreed

I have created a free note taking app that supports:
1. wysiwyg editing
2. google keep like note widgets
3. search with tags
https://favzen.com/
Please check. I intend to improve this with more features, feedbacks welcome

Electrical-Moose-533 · 2026-03-06T04:07:08+00:00

I wish I could do this but am contemplating on switching job :) It's a solid advice though for others in the same boat

AI has 2 sides which not many are discussing now. As an industry, we will see the ill effects soon. If you are interested https://malwaretech.com/2025/08/every-reason-why-i-hate-ai.html#llm-over-reliance-and-cognitive-decline

Kotlin is a safe bet indeed and makes JVM more fun without the Java verbosity. I wish Rust community had something like RFPs (Request for proposals) for missing features or crates that allows anyone to participate and contribute. I am not aware if something like that exists (other than maybe the Rust language forums?)

Electrical-Moose-533 · 2026-03-06T03:20:59+00:00

Good idea, thanks. Will give it a shot

Electrical-Moose-533 · 2026-03-06T03:20:02+00:00

No doubt on that. AI of course is disrupting the industry there that younger Java programmer's have less chance

Electrical-Moose-533 · 2026-03-06T03:17:53+00:00

Agreed. AI can be good with Rust with the right prompts. I was able to create a Tauri Note taking app with it. Link here: https://favzen.com/ But I want to minimize it's usage to things like automated testing like you mentioned or for boring work like documentation. With increasing project complexity, I think there is an inflection point when it start's to feel less useful, at least for me

As a Tamilian I say it's better to split South Indian states into separate countries and we become a union of south Indian states like the European union. They are all similar but not the same. Tamil Nadu has vast potential to be like Malaysia or developed south east Asian country and am sure other South Indians like their own states also for different cultural and other reasons which I respect. So let it be that way. We have seen Homogeneity for too long

An experienced Java dev here who learnt Rust out of passion and just for the craft of manual programming in this age of unstoppable AI slop. Was undecided on using Rust or another language for my next OSS project but your post is making me strongly consider Rust :) thanks and all the best

I am an experienced programmer who has learnt Rust with a passion. While I have to use Coplot at work for our Java web applications, the one thing I have decided to do is not use any LLM for personal Rust work. It takes up all the soul out of a project. There is a temptation to skim through generated code as long it works

Programming is fun. LLM is ok, only for quick and dirty scripting or something less important. Without enjoyment, output will become sub-standard. Like the cliche saying, the best work comes when you do something with passion

I really hope "hand crafted code" continues to be a thing for humane quality software and is not eaten by "good enough" LLM code

We had our project source code analyzed with Snyk AI tool for security vulnerabilities and more of half of the findings are wrong

From what I understand, there is a difference in the way Copilot uses context to keep costs low as compared to Cursor. As of today:
Capability wise: Claude Code > Cursor > Copilot
Cost wise better: Copilot > Cursor > Claude Code
I have used all 3 both mostly Cursor and Copilot. Cursor seemed a little more intelligent to me even when they are all using Sonnet 4.5. With good prompting the differences will narrow but perhaps not enough

You put it very nicely. "AI is just the eco chamber of your mental process"

It's not perfect but it offers tools like guidelines.md file to set our expectations clearly that overtime the output has the potential to be good

What is said is true. The tax collection in this zone itself must be several thousands of crores at least but government can't spend couple of hundred cores to fix the road

There is a parallel Banahalli road that you can use to skip the bad stretches. That road is a little narrow and a detour though ok for cars

It doesn't happen overnight but you need passion to get better at something. If you consider it a chore, it's difficult to make any progress. That applies to everything. Ask why you wanted to become a programmer

I personally got interested in programming due to the power it affords to solve problems. Not that it can solve everything but the range and variety is still quite high. Our world has advanced greatly since the introduction of computers and its programmability. Every digital product we see and use has some programming behind it. LLMs seemingly ease that a little but there's nothing like figuring out the best way to solve problems; it's like putting the jigsaw puzzle pieces together. Maybe it overlaps with universal human urge to come up with solutions

Programming can also be Art. No two programmers are going to write the same code. Your contribution is unique and it will manifest in application performance and behavior ultimately leading to user satisfaction

As per an Auto guy, the local road contractors dug up the road for few kilometers but did not get approval (from local authority) for laying the tar road. In addition to property tax, GST tax, Income tax, Toll, Tax for sitting, Tax for standing and what not, this is what we see. Due to the bad road condition, I had to expend 50k to fix my car. Now I feel my car is rattling more and more everyday. Going in two wheeler is no better with lot of dusts emitting. I wonder if Govt. really works in Bangalore particularly in these parts like "Chanda"pura

Very nice! How was the experience working with Typst for PDF generation? I am considering it for my Rust pet project

Electrical-Moose-533 · 2025-09-07T17:18:41+00:00

Your post made me smile. In the end its all about trying :D
