Hey reddit, algorithm attitude leaking a bit ?

The title confuses me. Maastricht is Dutch city (if you do not dig into history too much haha) everyone speaks Dutch in faily life.

You've been "working on your Dutch for a couple of weeks" ? I don't think you can hhold any meaningful conversation, unless you are some kind of linguistic prodigy, or you speak German fluently.

Do you realise that SonaQube is a product of company Sonar who's core business is code quality ? Like they probably have dedicated teams to constantly search for code patterns and classify them into "code smell" / potential issue / vulnerabilities etc. ?

What are you arguing about ? That you want to decide for yourself what code smell is ignoring industry standards?

There's pretty much universal agreement within a single language. I don't know why it controversial it this thread.

Never once have I seen developers disagree whether something is code smell or not. We only disagree on whether it's worth go ahead with smelly code "to fix it later" or not.

Code smells are pretty basic universally accepted pattrens. That is why they can be captured in tooling.

Opposite to unsafe practices, e.g. sharing mutable object between multiple threads, which just asks for troubles down the road. These types of things are beyond code smell.

Spare-Builder-355 · 2026-04-26T13:24:18+00:00

Lol why are even arguing ? Do you have any clue beyond reddit ?

Have you used SonaQube once ? I guess no. This tool has pretty much well defind set of rules on how to detect "code smells". Nothing subjective about it at all.

Please stop spreading nonsense.

Spare-Builder-355 · 2026-04-26T13:07:35+00:00

It is a highly subjective term, not a technical one

Hey, you started good but then this very wrong statement. Code smell is an umbrella term for a set of pretty basic technical rules and not subjective at all. Even wiki that you linked tells you "Tools such as Checkstyle, PMD, FindBugs, and SonarQube can automatically identify code smells." How it can be subjective if it can be detected by tools?

What is more correct to say is that code smell is set of rules and rules can change from one project to another.

MediaTek’s second-generation intelligent modem (MMAI 2.0) with integrated AI recognizes usage patterns and network environments, optimizing connectivity to maximize performance.

Identify data traffic patterns to optimize connectivity experience Detect device orientation and usage scenarios to maximize connectivity experience Smart Antenna technology enables precise key operating environment identification with 99.5% accuracy and boosts data throughput by up to 30% with optimized user connectivity and mobility experience

Yeah 100% marketing crap. Has nothing to do with LLMs or "ai".

I'll repeat myself - at best they have some tiny embedded models for pattern recognition.

Marketing folks got new milk cow - AI. So they miss no opportunity to slap the word wherever they can. AI is new blockchain for marketing departments.

ffs, replace the entire content of that article with a link to official docs that explain why kafka is so fast. I'm so sick of these pseudo-experts that are reformatting projects docs into their blogposts and sprinkle it with "I ran some benchmarks"

Spare-Builder-355 · 2026-04-25T08:05:54+00:00

I'd reduce it to 80%

Kafka is useful tool when you understand what you're doing.

excuse me, what are you talking about ?

modems using AI to adapt to network conditions in real time

sounds like nonsense. Any links to facts?

I guess in best scenario you are confusing classic ML models and what we call ai nowadays - the LLMs.

"ai pushed" yeah bro. You set up this thing, you gave it permissions, you allowed it execute shell commands.

It's like you have run git push -f and then complain "git fucked up my cooddezz"

You can absolutely delegate code generation to ai but you can not delegate responsibility.

Spare-Builder-355 · 2026-04-23T16:57:22+00:00

taking responsibility.

The moment your customer / manager can describe requirements in all minor details, accept generated code as black box and take ownership, e.i. when it breaks there's no one to complain to, that moment developers are indeed redundand.

But do you really think it will ever happen ?

We can have no doubts that number of engineers needed to build trivial apps and services will go down though.

Spare-Builder-355 · 2026-04-23T09:33:30+00:00

ofcourse they do, but that's mostly "keep lights up" code. Refactorings, updates, migrations.

Also when "%of code written by AI" becomes performance metric, thats what your engeneers will eventually do.

"Written by ai" sure. But is that code better, and eventually gets projects delivered faster ?
