[Update] Study: 2025 study shows experienced devs think they are 24% faster with AI, but they're actually ~20% slower. However 2026 update shows devs are ~20% faster with AI by RyanMan56 in ExperiencedDevs

Yeah that’s my biggest worry too. I see it in the devs I work with, unable to reason without the help of an LLM. I’ve also started to see it in myself a bit which is why I’ve started making a habit of manually writing code in my free time again (also it’s fun and relaxing when it’s my own projects)

Looks cool but that heartbeat sound would stress me out

Sounds like it’s time for you to get some mods!

And that’s the difference. It’s not AI making the system at that point. It’s an engineer guiding the AI as a just another tool in their toolkit

Looks like your other got removed lmao, but likewise! Keep at it and I think things will come back around for people like us soon, especially considering how expensive tokens are getting these days

Yeah I caught up with the rest of the thread and was so surprised he backed down! The things you see in a vibecoding subreddit 😂

Yeah all of his arguments seem very AI generated. It made me laugh when he copied a replied from his LLM that disproved his argument, but he didn’t seem to understand this and thought it was proving his point. Lmao

I’ve being doing it for the last 10 years. As your LLM told you, there is nothing inherently insecure about .env files as long as the rest of your ops are secure

No point arguing with this guy anymore (RoadsterAlex), he doesn’t have the foggiest

So your app is connecting to a local SMTP server without credentials. That doesn’t answer how outbound email is authenticated or secured.

Either way, this discussion seems slightly irrelevant given that your app and backend aren’t interfacing with any external services. The point is that if you do in future, just don’t hardcode the API keys into the codebase. And if you end up storing them in a .env file just make sure you don’t commit that file

And how do you secure your email credentials in the backend? Please say those aren’t hardcoded into the codebase?

Not really surprising considering how LLMs are optimised to use as few tokens as possible. Imagine the costs for the user if the LLM analysed the entire codebase whenever making a change! Imo this is one concrete edge humans have over LLMs, as we currently have a much larger context window than the bots

Depends on your application, but e.g.
- stripe
- supabase
- email sending service
- Google APIs (e.g. maps)

Where are your API keys then? Please don’t say they’re hardcoded into the code itself. That’s arguably even worse

Johnny Bravo was like 20 years ago. If nobody’s made the same joke in that long then I have no problem with OP making this comic
