<p>How about.. "it depends" ?<p>I review things that I know are "important".. but I've learned that there are many things that I don't care how it works at this point- they aren't critical in terms of I know it's not going to cascade and break other things (that's where us senior engineers know what to look for).<p>But there's no way in the hell I can review all the code that is being generated for so many things that just don't need reviewing. They work- that's honestly good enough for a lot of use cases.  I review the code that touches sensitive areas and I know aren't very straightforward (which, I would put at only 10%).</p>

<p>The Sonic movies are really well done.  The last two Mortal Kombat's were pretty good- particularly the second one which is more true to the game after the setup in the first one. The first Mario movie was enjoyable but forgettable.</p>

<p>"Hey AI, find me a X cuisine restaurant around Y location that has availability at 7pm tonight" .. "Cool, book Z"<p>Seems obvious why an API would be helpful on that page instead of having the AI attempt to navigate the page, open up a date picker and click all around..<p>And as others have said, if you are disabled in some way being able to just speak and get something like this done seems pretty life changing.<p>But you go ahead and be mad about an api...</p>

<p>It doesn't matter if the LLM is not deterministic.. the OUTPUT of typed code <i>is</i> deterministic in the sense that it can be seen to be type safe, compiled, and run appropriate unit tests on it.<p>If I use two LLM's to create some chunk of code and they both do it slightly differently but they both compile and pass appropriate tests.. it honestly doesn't matter if the LLM itself is not deterministic in <i>exactly</i> what it's going to output.<p>I would also argue- doesn't that make sense? You give two human coders the same task and they are also going to come up with slightly different results.</p>

<p>Why didn't you have a problem with a single person doing little with a lot of effort?<p>All I'm saying is it should have been a problem at that point.. not just because it's easy now to do it at a high scale.</p>

<p>But then scale doesn't actually matter. If you have a problem with something that "everyone does" then you should have a problem with something only a few people do.</p>

<p>>Meanwhile, one peak at the code and you can already see the state starting to become a bit of a spaghetti mess<p>I honestly think people on here are very much overstating 'spaghetti code' when AI does it... first, it works correct? The reason I say that if the AI can continue to upgrade code that might not always look 'the prettiest' (to you..) because it doesn't care about what some of us consider to <i>look</i> like clean code. If it can continue to manage, document, and upgrade the code successfully.. does you calling it spaghetti code actually matter? Maybe you have a hard time reading it but the AI certainly doesn't.. I think that's worth consideration.<p>Every one of us has our own conventions and ideas of what 'clean' code looks like sometimes. And honestly 95% of the time we only thing it's clean if we wrote it ourselves.</p>

<p>That is such an unfair comparison though.  The reason we are now getting completely screwed on consumer electronics is because massive corporations just get to bully around the rest of the world and we have zero control over it.<p>Building a gaming PC right now is no longer affordable.  I can't even upgrade my hard drives because they have tripled in price. And it's all because of good old capitalism.</p>

<p>>Claude Code is especially buggy in windows terminal. The rendering is quite slow, choppy and lines frequently get garbled<p>That sounds like a you issue.. it's wonderful on the terminal. It's their GUI which needs work (they have been improving, but still not a fan).<p>I've been using it on multiple computers for months and it's generally rock solid and lovely.</p>

<p>Because they basically pick and choose what's in there.<p>If you sat down and did the math on what it costs someone to pay rent / mortgage, car insurance, health insurance, daycare, schooling, going out to eat and drink, doing anything for entertainment, go to the grocery store.. it's not a debate that the real inflation is significantly higher all the time than what is used to measure the number.</p>

<p>Well, I'm on a small two person team.. for the last few years I would have loved to have 2-3 people under me.. I've been underwater constantly, but we couldn't afford it.<p>Now I have no need for anyone from a coding perspective.. I can keep up with multiple clients requests with a breeze. I don't have to manage anyone. I type of my phone while I'm on a walk and work gets done for me.<p>So yeah... it's not good.</p>

<p>Maybe after they realized how they were vulnerable they asked an LLM to find the exploit through a similar means to try and replicate it. Still doesn't prove it but maybe gives them confidence this weird thing can only really be found that way etc.</p>
