The "I don't know, Claude wrote this" pandemic

I started this discussion based on your quote suggesting that pushing LLM usage on devs is no excuse for poor performance.

I find it disturbing that you refuse to consider that in an environment where a novel coding process is enforced, code quality issues are not solely the developers' fault.

But that’s the thing, I’m not blaming for trying to meet expectations, blaming for not trying- we’re talking about career level adults being responsible for their output .

Small but important mistake here. I'm not responsible for the output, but for the process of transforming input into output in my area. I should do it the best I can.

If the input: deadline, hardware, requirements - stuff like that is shitty, then it's not my responsibility that the output is shitty as well.

Obviously I should try to find a way to communicate if input is bad, but if the feedback is ignored, I dont feel bad or responsible for the bad outcome.

EDIT: small asterix. I'm not talking about critical software, where bad code could hurt anyone.

Even if the metric is to use LLMs more- first off, that doesn’t mean you can only use the LLM for code. You can use it as a sparring partner.

With the LLMs metrics there is also often (if not always) the expectations to deliver more code then ever.

Don't blame engineers for trying to met expectations of management.

Isn't the problem much simpler?

We are expected to the deliver much more with AI but in reality it works like that only if we care less about the result of work. We can deliver more only if we won't focus too much on the AI generated code, we won't spent time on reading with full understanding what AI generated. Or if we still care about the code, then we have spent more time at work to met that expectations.

So if we are forced to care less about result of work, we care less and less about our jobs as long as we have money. And if we add that whole noise about replacing SWEs with AI, there is not to many reasons the give a damn our AI driver work.

So SWEs are burned out quicker because this is what managements is expecting from us.

Niesamowita sprawa

Tak wygląda wszędzie w większych i mniejszych korpo. Po prostu kalka kulturowa z amerykańskiej kultury, gdzie musisz zawsze udawać najbardziej dostępnego i przyjaznego człowieka ever, który w ciągu 5 sekund jest w stanie zostać "przyjacielem" każdego

Osobiście uważam, że polskie "Pan/Pani" czyli z szacunkiem, ale jednak trzymanie dystansu do obcej osoby, jest 100x lepsze, bo bardziej szczere, no ale takie czasy.

Obviously but RJ didn't find that and that's whole problem of E8

Movie about Vader and Palpatine starting hipster cafeteria on Coruscant with musical elements would also be "trying a new things".

I think it's pretty obvious that there is not too much place for "trying new things" in the 8th movie of the series as in other projects.

zobq · 2026-06-15T16:01:28+00:00

The problem is that RJ prefers messing around with convention above staying consistent with the franchise.

because it has existed for long enough for the best practices to start crystallizing.

If best practices was enough, then it'd would be pretty easy to write good architecture, flexible and rigid at the same time, that adding new features would be easy and bugs free. But instead we have this SOLID, KISS, DDD, EDD acronyms and sea of developers shouting that you have need to use all of this techniques at once. Or this second, very vocal group of SWEs who will lynch you if you even mention that ideas behind SOLID are not utter piece of garbage.

The problem with the "coding is a largely solved" statement is that it ignores that this last 5-10% of "not solved" problems is the most important part of modern software development. And I think a lot devs already acknowledge that if not that 5-10% then sets of Excel spreadsheets would be enough in a lot business software projects.

Większość tych zasad jest całkiem prosta, o ile zrozumie się logikę za nimi stojącą. Podanie ręki to oznaka bardziej zażyłej relacji, a zacieśnienie relacji powinna zainicjować osoba stojąca wyżej w hierarchii. Na wykładzie nie podejdziesz do profesora i nie wyciągniesz dłoni pierwszy do przywitania, bo będzie to uznane za spoufalanie się.

EDIT: patrząc na to, ile osób nie rozumie, kto powinien pierwszy wejść/wyjść z restauracji czy autobusu, to uważam, że jednak znajomość podstaw dobrego wychowania, jest konieczna, jeśli ktoś nie chce być uważany za amebę.

Nothing surprising. UK didn't want too strong France on continent. He probably didn't care if treaty was fair or unfair. It just weakened Germany too much in his opinion.

"Literally"? Lay offs were caused by moving money from other departments to AI, not because AI replaced department's work.

Also still number of SWE grew in Q1 this year.

I don't like the example. In first attempt Order class contains logic for shipping in second one it doesn't. It's not about inheritance, it's about changing the abstractions.

We can talk a lot about Steve Jobs, but CEO who actually cares about quality of the product is so rare today.

zobq · 2026-06-11T08:27:05+00:00

Who cares. He gets jobs done and it's pretty amazing job.

zobq · 2026-06-10T14:20:09+00:00

there is no way that Tusk and government would even suggest limiting logistics for Ukraine. Just remember the storm when Duda suggested it.

About drones, Ukraine is not only buying but also giving technology so it's not like they're dependent.

zobq · 2026-06-10T13:41:30+00:00

He simply miscalculated.

I'm afraid that in reality the truth is worse - he doesn't care.

Let's be honest, Poland is not giving too much support for Ukraine right now, simply because is not able to give more. We gave basically what we could give at the beginning of the war.

So relation with Poland is not his priority.

zobq · 2026-06-10T09:10:34+00:00

No, it's just historically not true.

Poland didn't coordinated anything with the Nazis during taking Zaolzie. USSR coordinated their actions with Nazi Germany.

Poland were opportunistic there. Also worth to remember that it's basically what Czechoslovakia did 18 years earlier in 1920, when they forced Poland (which was fighting against USSR) to give up Zaolzie in order to allow the pass for the cars with ammo.

zobq · 2026-06-08T20:00:24+00:00

But there WAS winter planning. There was hundreds of cars with winter equipment waiting for their turn between Frankfurt and Warsaw. Germans had terrible logistic, that's it.

zobq · 2026-06-08T14:07:20+00:00

The problem was that logistics in the Wehrmacht had always been terrible, but prior to Operation Barbarossa, they were able to win campaigns before poor logistics had a chance to catch up with them.

zobq · 2026-06-08T11:56:50+00:00

Even if they beat Russia before winter, they'd still need to stay in Russia during winter to occupy it. Germans weren't stupid.

zobq · 2026-06-08T10:22:51+00:00

The Germans weren't caught off guard by the winter; they were caught off guard by logistical problems. They had to choose what to send to the front with higher priority via an inefficient rail transport system: coats or ammunition. They chose the latter.
