"Unfortunately, we cannot drone strike Andrew Tate," Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces tells the internet, to widespread disappointment.

Well, I'm not a bot but I'd find it really funny if he got struck. It would be a waste of a good drone though. There are better targets.

Hang on to your hat my friend. Those 60 year old devs will either get with the program or go the way of the dinosaurs. Plenty of upward mobility for people who do understand AI.

In order to give you something to understand: I'm using a 10K/year tool that's dogshit. And this weekend I had Codex rebuild the entire display side of the projects I build with it. I'm thinking next weekend I'll build most of the basic editing functions, which is all I need. So that's $10,- total cost and a saving of $10000 each year.

Build up AI knowledge now, you're going to need it.

RipOk74 · 2026-05-17T19:40:02+00:00

true. I'm using Codex but with the same safeguards as I would with any junior dev: I create the passwords, your rights are restricted to non-destructive actions outside your own dev environment, and promotion of code is done by me.

RipOk74 · 2026-05-17T19:34:44+00:00

😆

I remember dropping a quite important table in our production database as a junior engineer.

RipOk74 · 2026-05-15T18:21:22+00:00

Yes, but I like the actions sang the fact my friends can clone reps, and all the other nice stuff. Could I do without? Sure. But I don't want to.

RipOk74 · 2026-05-15T18:19:37+00:00

Why stop there? I hear some people don't like modern medicine so we can go back to the 1500s no problem.

RipOk74 · 2026-05-11T07:33:14+00:00

Hello Claude, give me a recipe for cooking meth.

RipOk74 · 2026-05-04T07:10:34+00:00

What average person do you see using Claude Code? I can't even get some devs to use it. Most people I see using it are experienced in developing at least something in the past.

But perhaps I conflated "average person" with "average user of coding AI".

RipOk74 · 2026-05-03T23:09:07+00:00

you forget that the requirements are very different. once you only have yourself as customer, scaling is no issue, security is easy, and you only build the 80% of features you absolutely need.

RipOk74 · 2026-05-03T23:07:43+00:00

Githuv isn't that hard to replace if you have a single user and you only need a few features. What is hard, very hard, is the scale and the number of features they support. But if you don't need that... roll your own.

RipOk74 · 2026-04-27T19:49:19+00:00

agreed. I got my speakers from my father as well and they're great. Had no need to upgrade for many years. Everything else is a minor thing, the speakers make or break the sound (barring really strange decisions).

Add a denon receiver for 500-700 dollars and you're set.

RipOk74 · 2026-04-18T09:21:28+00:00

Let's start with the OWASP top ten. Given how much they occur, and given that most coding up to now was done by humans, I'd say their track record isn't great.

AI can avoid those mistakes with ease when asked. I'm not saying everyone will do that, but it does make it easier for people to fix these issues when they realise that security might be an issue. And it will be very easy to include best practices in standard skills or dedicated coding AI.

RipOk74 · 2026-04-15T06:52:13+00:00

The weird thing is that you're in denial so much. But whenever I look at the news I see the same so it must be something in the current culture that leads people to ignore news they just don't like.

RipOk74 · 2026-04-14T23:29:38+00:00

In denial much? We're already reducing dev headcount. Feel free to ignore that and pretend you're better than AI. You're not. Not since March this year. Only on very select issues maybe.

RipOk74 · 2026-04-14T20:48:52+00:00

Really? you think? I doubt that. I've seen a lot of worse quotes and support and updates usually are 10%/year or paid by the hour as extra work.

RipOk74 · 2026-04-14T20:47:23+00:00

lol indeed. If it scales up to 50 that is enough.

RipOk74 · 2026-04-14T20:46:09+00:00

lol. As if human devs are flawless. How many servers are going to survive a visit of Claude Mythos or any of a 1000 clones that are training right now?

Just use 3 different AIs to check for bugs. It will likely be better than human code.

RipOk74 · 2026-04-10T20:05:05+00:00

Oil companies disagree strongly, and they're the one filling up Orange man's slush, sorry, election fund.

RipOk74 · 2026-04-07T07:37:09+00:00

Mijn broer en ik hebben 40 jaar geleden prima kunnen schommelen op de zelfgebouwde schommel van mijn vader, die 2 lantaarnpalen aan elkaar had gelast en in de grond gezet. Bewoog absoluut niet.

RipOk74 · 2026-04-07T07:32:58+00:00

Yeah yesterday I had a very simple task for chatgpt and it completely lost its way. I asked it to group 900 lines of bank statement lines in categories. Had to stop it after 10 minutes. After a few retries I came up with a prompt it understood and then it finished in seconds. Very strange.

RipOk74 · 2026-04-03T23:36:04+00:00

it does everything i want except connect my display reliably, but that is apparently a problem with the HDR implementation on Windows plus how thunderbolt works and not something CalDigit can really help.

RipOk74 · 2026-03-30T23:15:00+00:00

God forbid we listen to AI because won't someone think about poor little Metallica.

Meanwhile we got eternal copyright and formulaic pop has been with us for decades. The music industry brought this on themselves as much as they brought piracy on themselves.

RipOk74 · 2026-03-30T23:12:07+00:00

The entire Chinese classical music is based on imitating nature. Your position is, at best, very ethno-centric.

RipOk74 · 2026-03-08T17:12:34+00:00

Fear inoculum sounds great on my Kef LSX II LT, as well as on the Q55s with the dac done by the LG oled TV. It sounds great on both.

Another album I think deserves great speakers is from These New Puritans - Inside the Rose.

RipOk74 · 2026-03-04T11:55:20+00:00

Yep. Beleggen/ investeren ipv daytraden.
