<p>> See what players think about the latest World of Warcraft patch. It's absolutely shit and broken<p>Crazy to me that the loot tables are still broken for some players/characters, they've tried to fix it several times now, and it's still not working - Since (some) endgame gear can only be obtained this way they've effectively soft locked those players/character out of the endgame.<p>Context: Some players are always receiving the same drops i.e. a belt. Rather than a varied loot table that gives them a chance to get items they need.</p>

<p>This is probably the most insane take I've read all year. As though an LLMs don't have an increased chance to bork code when they have to write it multiple times for different platforms - even LLM users benefit from the existence of libraries that handle cross platform, low level implementation details and expose high level apis.</p>

<p>If a consultant made the same mistakes I'd expect the consultant to be held accountable, not the client business that hired the consultancy - they knew they didn't have the requisite skills and so outsourced to an "expert" (and therefore can't be judged for not knowing how to secure their software since they did everything possible)<p>In this case the "client" is fully liable for the security issues.</p>

<p>This is my take too - LLMs aren't an excuse to lower our standards, they're the reason to raise them.<p>Put simply LLMs perform better on better code.</p>

<p>I think what matters more than the abstract class vs if statement dichotomy, is how well something maps the problem domain/data structures and flows.<p>Sure maybe its fast to write that simple if statement, but if it doesn't capture the deeper problem you'll just keep running head first into edge cases - whereas if you're modelling the problem in a good way it comes as a natural extension/interaction in the code with very little tweaking _and_ it covers all edge cases in a clean way.</p>

<p>> and post the original along with the translation<p>this so many times - it's so incredibly handy to have the original message from the author, for one I may speak or understand parts of that language and so have an easier time understanding the intent of the translated text. For another I can cut and translate specific parts using whatever tools I want, again giving me more context about what is trying to be communicated.</p>

<p>Seems strange, for decades we allowed developers to use what made them comfortable, you like notepad? go ahead and use it. Don't want an LSP? that's fine disable it.<p>So long as their productivity was on par with the rest of the team there was no issue.<p>Suddenly, everyone needs to use this new tool (which we haven't proven to actually be effective) and if you don't you don't belong in the industry.</p>

<p>Yep willing to bet that the majority of people saying "users don't care how well the code is written" will crash out when some software they're using is slow and buggy, even more extremely if it glitches and deletes their work.<p>Just like how most people don't care how well a bridge is designed... until it collapses.</p>
