Don't you forget about India and Latinamerica... No way I see companies paying that much for outsourced employees

Tbh I don't care if vibe coding or generated art is produced as I think general public will eventually accept them or decide when it's worth to use/consume those kind of products.

What I really hate is agentic customer support, sales etc. - when you have to use them you realize how stupid the workflows, tool call, MCP, and all that garbage that is glued is just to reduce costs instead of churn.

PS: Ironically I'm working on coding an "agentic platform" for the product suite and their backend services. I simply don't feel confident about the product I'm building but I guess it is paying my bills for the moment

He literally explained why within the first paragraphs, because a stock LLM can answer a different price of the shop for a given repair

I'm just using Copilot CLI for mindless stuff and set it to the premium models to meet the quota, as long as they can't see the prompts I think I should be fine

On my side I have used Claude code, tbh for solo projects it's good enough if you already know what you need to do.

Answering your questions:

On my job we've been spoon fed to use GH copilot everywhere we can. It's been configured to review PRs, make corrections etc. - I'd say it's good enough but from time to time it will raise false positives on issues. I'd say it works fine but you still need to keep an eye on generated BS.

I've seen coworkers show me amazing stuff done with agentic coding and I've seen coworkers open up slop PRs with bunch of garbage generated code which is kind of annoying, but I'll let it slide...

Stack - .NET, Angular, SQL Server and ofc hosted in Azure.

Team is composed of about 100 engineers (devs, QA, devops etc.) and from what I can see there are no Juniors, which is sad to see if you ask me

I was using it the same way you just described but for C# and Angular and you're spot on. It feels amazing not having to memorize APIs and just let the AI even do code coverage near to 100%, however at some point I began noticing 2 things:

- When tests didn't work I had to check what was going on and the LLMs do cheat a lot with Volkswagen tests, so that began to make me skeptic even of what is being written by the agents

- When things were broken, spaghetti and awful code tends to be written in an obnoxius way it's beyond repairable and made me wish I had done it from scratch.

Thankfully I just tried using agents for tests and not for the actual code, but it makes me think a lot if "vibe coding" really produces quality work.

Agree, I'm not the kind of guy that has 100 tabs open (10 at the time I'm typing this), but when I came back 2 years ago I noticed that it isn't as snappy and fast as it used to be 15 years ago before I switched to Chrome.

Absolutely right, only AAA games get to showcase the true power of GPUs.

For cheaper guys like me, I'll just give my son indie and low graphic games which he enjoys

You just described my experience with MOBA games like League of Legends and Dota. Around 15 years ago there were only about 50-60 playable characters. Nowadays there are more than 100 and more items and customizations.

As for shooters this is the same. Too many weapons classes and subclasses, maps, game modes eventually divide and distract the playerbase from the core essence of the game.

I think this is one of the reasons that you still see Counter Strike still around.

I began doing AngularJS and have been doing Angular 2 for a while, as another commenter said: there are jobs still out there.

In my experience I get more Angular & Vue offers than C# and React. For what is worth I'm convinced that across the industry React jobs wages are lower. Who knows, I could be closed in my own bubble but am pretty sure the pool of react devs is bigger and this might be the reason.

Dense housing is great until you're the first one to build in your block and then someone slaps a few 50 story buildings near you and your city hall doesn't give a damn about water usage and sewage.

My only advice is "if it ain't broke don't fix it". And if you're going to improve something, make sure it's something small and local, ideally further from the "core logic" of the business.

But Elon says Twitter (also known as X) has never been more alive and engaging in its history... This makes me wonder if advertisers are choosing other platforms or if they're being conservative with their ad budgets

New comment by luisgvv in "Unit tests as documentation"

luisgvv — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 03:02:47 +0000

I used to work for a company that was in the fintech space and had several scenarios and rules for deciding whether a person could apply for a loan, the interest rate, prime, insurance etc. A lot of the code written was way back from the early 2000s in Visual Basic and migrated improved towards C#.

I didn't knew a thing about how the business operated and the rationale behind the loans and the transactions. The parts of the application that had unit and behavior tests were easy to work on. Everyone dreaded touching the old pieces that didn't have tests.
