To be honest, you can feel code is too complex even without reading a single line of it.

So its true what they were saying about bitcoin. It is used by criminals.

You dont need to measure the code complexity, you can completely hallucinate those numbers if you feel that code is too complex and then watch how LLM will respond.

But it would be also possible that sentinel value used for comparison changed because of bitflip, not data structure used by program.

If you cant break something, steal it.

Polishing my dashboard for tracking profit on Solana blockchain for set of wallets: https://imgur.com/813aQsO

I want to extend it with a simple overview of most recent profitable wallets to look for new "metas" that i could profit on. This project may or may not end as open source eventually, but i currently keep it private.

If you're looking for feedback and ideas you can just ask ChatGPT. Or maybe you just crave human interaction and doing something together with other human?

Understood. I’ll end the conversation here. If you change your mind in the future, you can simply start a new chat. Take care.

Im not a scientist, just a freelancer (kind of) and its similar for me. I know probably only 2 langauges fluently enough that i could write in them without constantly checking for syntax/docs, but over my whole programming journey i got to know multiple languages with different syntaxes, coding styles and patterns, so i can easily read code written in multiple languages and know whether given code will do what i want (and even if i wouldn't, LLM can explain the code for me and in the worst case send me to the documentation to validate it by myself).

Asking LLM for a code and then read/review it is a huge speed up for me in a lot of cases comparing to when i would need to write the same thing by myself (but i agree it may not work well in a big/complex systems... yet).

patrulek — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 10:49:26 +0000

> Why Can't Programmers Be More Like Ants?

Because ants dont have business units. Most of us, programmers, are slaves to the business and we have to do what they want from us, not what we want or think is optimal to do. And the requirements can change often. How fast those changes would be notified by others in decentralized "ants approach"? Would the business survive with this approach?

I think i had similar case yesterday for Python script. It gave me code for older version of a module, but when i pasted the error i got, it corrected itself and gave me proper solution for version i had installed.

> unless I've missed some recent invention where keyboards now have two of either Enter/Backspace/Shift keys on the right side

It doesnt have to be two enter/backspace/shift. Keyboard layout seems to be almost identical to Azio L70 Keyboard (at least the keys).
