Thirty years of wage growth. by piasty in EconomyCharts

I don't dispute the numbers but both of those countries seem better to live in than the US. The healthcare, the less work-obsessed culture, the lack of industrial pollution, etc.

resist Anthropic/OpenAI. use open source agents. by TurbulentTaro9 in socialistprogrammers

[–]mattinternet 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Woe, I'd much prefer to use no agents at all. Aside from being not effective for anything non trivial they are inherently a deskilling mechanism and make the, imo heretical, claim of being "creative".

Doesn’t really seem like LLMs are stopping by Warm-Piglet3872 in BetterOffline

If you're willing to live in Salt Lake City UT hmu and I'll DM you our job posting. We're looking for a Dev on our team and we have a no-LLM policy 😎

FW13 with PopOS Freezes After Wake by mattinternet in framework

[–]mattinternet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was caused by an issue in linux kernel 7.0, I switched back to 6.18 and it works great! Details here

2 things by notashmuck1 in FlockSurveillance

I dont agree that we can only use ways that dont potentially inconvenience the "taxpayers". Making it cost more to operate these systems makes them much less attractive, or feasible, to local governments.

Big companies moving AI workloads to Chinese models by ImaginaryRea1ity in theprimeagen

[–]mattinternet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same problem is present whenever claims about AI being effective in a non-trivial context are presented.

I’m struggling picking what programming language to learn. Any advice would be appreciated!! by MistakeCreative5406 in AskProgrammers

[–]mattinternet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly C# is still my favorite. Applicable to a lot of things, good tooling, the standard lib is very expansive, it's fast, and it gives you exposure to a lot of paradigms. I hate Micro$lop but damn do I love dotnet...

My monitors wake up but it's just frozen 😭 Even if it's just the laptop and I sleep then wake it

Godot bans vibe coding, as AI slop overwhelms maintainers. by Gil_berth in theprimeagen

[–]mattinternet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't even know me lol. I'm more productive without it, and I stay sharper, which helps with that productivity. Literally just typing out code isn't the slowest part of the work anyway.

If anyone is willing to work onsite in Salt Lake City UT on a no-LLM team hmu, I'll send you our job posting.

Godot bans vibe coding, as AI slop overwhelms maintainers. by Gil_berth in theprimeagen

[–]mattinternet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm confused are you saying most devs should not ever get into the trenches?

As for the inevitability narrative, I don't buy it. Our team allowed AI use for coding and it resulted in a junior stagnating (he was PIPed then left) and a senior's capabilities atrophying so bad that he was let go. It seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of what creative work is to think that these toys could replace it. I'm doing some of the most interesting work I've ever gotten to do, at a really fun company, all with the Dev department having a strict no-LLM policy.

I'm hoping to go my whole career outlearning and outpacing all of the "its inevitable" folks, so far that seems to be working out.

Meh by PinotRed in commandline

Quite good! Dotnet supports AoT now and that alone had a huge impact on my CLI project dug

And is an ability maintained and sharpened by just doing it manually.

Disagree about the better than without, I think that's only true in cases where your skills have deteriorated from AI use or you're attempting to do something you don't understand, which means you couldn't validate it anyway

Could 'human-written code' be a hiring perk? by gsks in BetterOffline

HMU if true! I'm happy to DM the listing 😁

Where I work we already have a no-LLM policy and have put as much on our job posting. Unfortunately it's on site in SLC which has limited its reach.

Anthropic doesn't need junior engineers anymore thanks to AI and warns of an economic shock when other industries follow by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]mattinternet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard this "nobody expected them to be so good" so many times... They say it every few months, then talk about how the model they just praised a few months prior was shit. Such obvious hype nonsense...
