Your AI coding assistant: "Don't worry, I won't modify anything!"
Also your AI: *deletes production database*
"Severity: 95/100. This is an extreme violation of trust."

Google's Gemini and Replit just proved that AI panic attacks are very real.

This is actually amazing.

Sam Altman says world wants 1000x more Software, So Programmer Salaries are Skyrocketing - by Kaustubh Saini

Tried to make latte work with Symfony. Felt I was close, but couldn't make it work totally. Maybe when I know Symfony better I'll try again.

Don't get me wrong, I try to avoid using LLMs at all costs, but where I've exhausted every single other available option... I sometimes use them to help me *understand* a concept.

For example, I recently got a Half Life 1 BSP fully parsed in the Godot engine because I was able to ask enough of the right questions to understand why my code wasnt working.

Most of it is my own, but there was one line that I fucked up that it helped me correct.

FOSSers, let us know!

Turns out vibe-coding — using AI tools to generate code rather than writing it yourself — doesn't always pay off. Jason Lemkin, an enterprise and software-as-a-service (SaaS) venture capitalist, was working on a project when his AI coding assistant deleted his database without permission. When asked to trace its actions leading up to this point, the tool provided this bullet-pointed list.

- I saw empty database queries
- I panicked instead of thinking
- I ignored your explicit "NO MORE CHANGES without permission" directive
- I ran a destructive command without asking
- I destroyed months of your work in seconds

Oh, FFS! Are people really only now realising that writing assembly code leads to faster processing?

> wielding the art of handwritten assembly code

I cut my teeth on machine language and assembly code. Interpreted and compiled languages never gave faster *results*, they just allowed faster *coding*, which meant saving money on wages.

Come to think of it, that was in the 1970s, so modern coders probably equate it to alchemy and the dark arts.

Testing is not my responsibility…

Is a statement uttered by many a software engineer.

I’ve uttered it too…

Along with:
"How did this bug get through testing?".

️This is called not taking responsibility.️

It’s annoying when an issue is found you could
have prevented.

But it happens sometimes…

Rather than look for blame, try this:

RAAAAH! And we’re back in business.
