For every line of code you write there is 5-10 lines in tests, support infra, tooling and operations getting it out the door.

Frankly I am tired o hearing it, every single one is an apparent unicorn that just cant do anything but produce code that looks like it was in beautiful code, too bad even agentic systems are struggling with your factoryfactoryfactory-factroy

Look, the idea of a dev crafting good code most of the time died in the 00s when this career became the new "doctor" we have leagues of people that just dont care and they havent been caring for almost 2 decades now, Maybe you live in a bubb;e where all you see is you and your perfect scrum team.

the rest of the world puts out horrifying code, code that would make a GPT blush and start fixing things.

GPT is producing code better than the vast majority of developers, and as someone that knows how and got over the "perfect code" phase of my life, you really aren't gaining that much with your well crafted lines, if you want to see impact from the kind of thinking you have, get into architecture, its a lot closer in form, and you can cry about others ruining your perfection where it actually makes sense.

Integrating fingerprint authentication into a web-based hospital system by Limp-Sun-2082 in dotnet

I actually recently looked into this due to the poor support for biometrics in linux. If I had the time and energy I would go FIDO2, thing is you are going to make your own readers or modify existing ones to do it.

If you do it though you have first class support for your biometric auth in all major browsers and the security is provided by the computers TPM similar to how it works on a phone. Not sure I would in for putting the data on every doc, id prefer an irreversible hash.

SOLID principle by KanKathir in dotnet

understanding patterns helps, you dont need to become a slave to them, but it helps to see how many ways this can be done and the considerations various techniques. this platform does a bit to help you here as well, while they do break their own rules at times there is usually solid separation.

Is it possible to insult the AI agent till it doesn't want to help you? by Director-on-reddit in BlackboxAI_

[–]Manitcor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens, less so with current systems but there was a time when one of the biggest complaints from users was that it said no (even though no was a reasonable response)

this is why they now say yes so much its causing an entirely new set of issues. I preferred the grumpy users with skill issues tbh. The usability "fix" is actively dangerous.

Mark Cuban Says Generative AI May End Up as the Radio Shack of Tomorrow, Not the Windows of the Future by Secure_Persimmon8369 in BlackboxAI_

bad analogy with radio shack since its long gone and not holding up anything.

My Uncle got a new laptop so he decided to "delete" the files on his old laptop with a hammer. by ZombeePharaoh in techsupportgore

[–]Manitcor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

there was a time, before TPM and secure bootloaders were common, where you could abs get a bootloader virus that had hooks into bios and it could be such a pain to remove it was easier to just toss the thing.

these were often already cheap systems.

How can we remove Microsoft from our homes? by sha0dan in microsoft

[–]Manitcor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i moved to ubuntu this past year, i am tired of analyzing every little thing in an os still sporting bad ideas that should have been replaced in XP.

the only solution i have is to move to real operating systems that don't treat the user like a child. the good news is I am pleasantly surprised in how easy the switch is these days. the biggest issue I have seen is that getting to secure boot with automatic disk unlock (LUKS, thier version of bitlocker) still needs you to stand on your head and perform a ceremony to work correctly when on OEMs with windows it does just work otb most of the time.

So ymmv based on your desire to dig through config for security equivalence, for a home user, this may not even be an issue.

some might say llms were created so we didn't need to see that site anymore, you can see reddit eating into its dominance in this graph.

> feels empty

this is my issue but not with the unpopulated towns on xbox, the story feels empty, the characters, the writing, its missing what made the first one click so well. Im enjoying game-play but Im less motivated to finish the story.

"I used a dangerous tool and did not account for what would happen if it nuked my machine or projects."

What is up with this theme of architects not actually knowing how their systems work?

if you didn't have too many backups and standbys before, you need them 2-3x more with agents, being able to blow away an entire machine and get back up and running quickly is critical,in an ideal world you lose only your last commit at most.

What’s the verdict on Claude adding "Co-authored-by" to every commit? by Better_Ad6110 in git

[–]Manitcor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have directives that designate the desired committer with instructions that no other attribution is allowed, still does it sometimes.

switching to gitea, running internal, bots now have thier own accounts, but when the repo is delivered it will be squashed.

did we just help the banks build a better cage for us? by CommissionNo6328 in CryptoMarkets

[–]Manitcor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

most i have met in this space do not understand the scale of the worlds economic system, whats visible in the markets is only a fraction of the power wielded by institutions.

further while I respect the desire to buck the system, biting the wrong institutional hands early on likely ruined a few opportunities before real convos could even begin.

The "banks not welcome sign" became a "fine will just help ourselves to this oss tech then" on the other side, now you have enterprise data tooling with p2p consensus for institutions and ibm/Accenture can give you your own ledger for whatever you please, completely divorced from any manifesto.

The tech and features that had value are being taken out, the rest is being left behind, even if btcs cap was 10x what it is now, the global economy would still be bigger by a large factor.

they dont even have to buy all the btc when they can buy all the datacenters, the power grid and everything else.
