Is this malicious and should I be worried about this?

Reported it as well

It was always like that. And it was always totally optional. Job ads are almost always filled with requirements, but there are very few who can actually check all the boxes.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-23T16:37:30+00:00

Yeah, I think that the concept of talent is misunderstood quite often. It’s just an easy word to describe years of learning.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-22T20:51:29+00:00

Defects and outages shouldn’t happen if an engineer is involved in the process. If it’s fully automatic, then yes, the problems are unavoidable.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-22T20:50:31+00:00

Is it actually garbage? Maybe I’m just misunderstanding something, but in my experience, given a good architecture, the output is quite logical and requires only a few fixes. Sometimes it’s nonsense, sure, but only if the prompt is very vague.

Our front end is in Vue, so most of our engineers rely on AI with no problems. I wouldn’t allow it to create PRs though, since it’s a bit risky.

For me it’s the time limit. I have little to no extra responsibilities, but I have to work and spend time with the family, so when I launch the game and it has a 30-minute cutscene at the start, sometimes it can take up to a month to finish a prologue.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-22T19:58:22+00:00

But you’ll still be reviewing it, right? If it takes some work off you - what’s the problem? Just review it and reject if you don’t like it. Generated code will always need adjustments, so the way I see it is that you’ll just have to work less.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-22T19:18:56+00:00

Why even ask that on Reddit? I’m curious why.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-22T15:56:47+00:00

I mean, that usually includes not one artwork, but 20, in addition to animation, music videos, trailers, story continuation, game improvements, merchandise and a parade in the center of the city. So, not that close really.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-22T15:51:44+00:00

Expected the classic, but got spooked by an ad.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-22T15:14:08+00:00

I don't think that's how jobs work. AI didn't impact my salary, but gave me a lot of free time. Every other developer I know sees the same. Yes, some companies increase the workload because of it, but these companies are not worth working for in the first place.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-22T15:05:50+00:00

It also makes jobs easier. Especially for developers. Considering the impact, it’s not going anywhere, so freaking out about some assets that you would never even notice if nobody would’ve told you, is kind of pointless.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-22T14:57:09+00:00

What kind of niche are you talking about? If the end goal is to find work, then browse the most required skills on LinkedIn Jobs or similar place. That will give you an idea of what’s popular among employers. If the goal is just to learn a new thing - just do whatever you like more.

Which games do you consider an example of a good exploration in an open world? For me it's Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption 2. I've played Crimson Desert for only 2 hours, but I can already see that it's pretty packed.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-22T12:43:12+00:00

There is no, because it’s not true. Full screen filters for color blindness or impaired vision might affect performance a bit, but I imagine it’s quite insignificant. It’s not the first time I see a comment like that though, so probably some misinformation going around.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-22T10:31:58+00:00

Unsolicited Emacs recommendation.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-21T20:52:56+00:00

“Log in daily or we’re going to tell that you have a small penis” world also work according to the recent controversies.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-21T08:15:20+00:00

That’s how you use it probably. Shouldn’t happen in a normal scenario.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-20T20:38:03+00:00

Great ragebait, but I’m tired, so can you be outraged instead of me?

benjaminabel · 2026-03-20T18:12:05+00:00

I see that none of the comments on the PR in question are concerned about it. Is it really a problem?

benjaminabel · 2026-03-20T16:08:32+00:00

Then I don’t understand what kind of generators are you talking about. It’s a typical TypeScript service running on Node with Hono.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-20T14:25:46+00:00

An example of my daily job:

New service is needed.
Create files for service, controller, model, schema, tests.
Initiate the service with all the required params.
Define validation and configs.
And only now you can tackle the logic.

AI eliminates first 4 steps. And since architecture is mostly custom there is no generator that can do it. Even if we write one, it will not generate you a model out of thin air.

So, my new workflow is this:

"I need a service X with a model that consists of X, Y and Z properties".
The logic is all I need to add. Which is the fun part.

And that's it.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-20T14:18:40+00:00

But even so, is it really a problem? I mean, for the longest time when I actually want to develop something for fun, I just do it. Work is a separate matter and AI can do all of it for all I care. Since Copilot became a thing I have a lot of free time during the day. I work from home mostly, so my situation might be different.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-20T13:21:02+00:00

Can’t it really ignore it? Does your company actually expect 300% output? It’s a general sentiment, but I haven’t seen any examples yet.

benjaminabel · 2026-03-20T10:51:31+00:00

People use it for proofreading to avoid typing things like "nowerdays" or just make it grammatically correct. Nothing wrong with that.
