My experience is the same, I can put that decision in the prompt, in a skill, in a hook, in agent.md, etc, it doesn't matter, after few iterations it starts again using useless python scripts to do anything from linting, to error checking, to parsing one liners of code, etc etc...

oh yes, exactly the same things are happening to me

I am curious about how the companies that claim their devs never wrote or reviewed a line of code in the last 6+ months react to this... they basically would have to just judge how the candidate writes a prompt or gathers the information to write it

I noticed a few weeks ago it started being very bad at explaining things (even things itself was doing) and started committing absurd errors (like reading a test of 5 lines and not noticing there was an explicit mock created in one of those, then saying that the test was failing while it was not)

I fear this is just the classic "nerf the model just before we release a new version of it"

The thing I like about console compared to pc (which I use the most for gaming) is the total absence of cheaters except maybe a super minority.

To make an example try to play a multiplayer famous fps (like battlefield6 or cod) on console and then on pc, it's not even the same experience. On pc it is basically full of aimbotters, wallhackers, nodamagers, etc every single damn game, on console you get the actual safe experience. Sadly this is one of the reasons why I play mostly only pve games on pc

These things are done not to block pr done with the help of ai, but to block the ai slops pr, aka those never reviewed, fully vibecoded, and with the submitter that didn't understand anything about the problem or the code, just trusted claude.

The rule is general on purpose to allow the maintainer to freely remove whatever is very evident is just ai slop

exactly, I for example don't care usually about false positives, in the very uncommon case it happens the pr creator can discuss and prove he actually understood the problem, the codebase, the project policy and how to explain his solution actually could work.

How they enforce it in every other project with the same policy, if the reviewer/maintainer suspects the pr is ai slope he closes it. That's it, it works fantastically well, I do the same even in my job

It is just in USA and some other few nations. In most of the rest of the world a sw dev is paid just a bit more than a standard office job

easy to deploy, latest versions of the language are ok, has some of the best web frameworks to work with, absurd amount of experienced programmers can be found on the market

I never understood this. We build in Europe, over earthquake-risk zones, with bricks and steel and we follow rules to make them earthquake resistant. It is not a problem anymore since like the 1980. We now have also methods to make old and very old brick buildings earthquake resistant without demolishing them

The main problem is they tried to be a middle way between a forum and a wiki with only correct answer (even if as some other have said, they never wanted to acknowledge that especially in programming the answer is correct or good or valid only for a certain amount of time most often than not)

What we actually need:

- the owner of the question must be the only one capable to say if an answer is good or not for his question

- no other user must be able to modify the question of the owner even if they think it is badly explained. They can always suggest modifies but the owner can decide if to accept them or not

- the moderators can try to suggest "hey we think this is a duplicate of that" but the owner must be the one to accept or reject it. Even if he says "I just want a more current answer, the one you linked is 4 yo" the moderators must accept his decision and keep the question open

- moderators must act aggressively against people (and other moderators) saying things like "this sound like some homework" or "you better use technology y instead of x" or similar

- answers older than a few years should have a visible flag on them signaling that probably that answer is not anymore the best possible one and to be careful using it and, if it doesn't work anymore, to open a new question tagging the old one

agree with this, at this point all my toy projects, even those of a few lines, are in typescript (with bun.js so I don't have the overhead of configuring node for ts)

yes, in Italy for example you pay 0.2% annually on whatever you hold (stock, bonds, cryptos, etc) even if you sell nothing or they depreciate compared to the year before

you can deactivate them. In my installation on linux they were disabled by default and it asked me if I wanted to activate them (just one time) to support the browser

Yes and I would join a company/startup/whatever far earlier instead of passing so much time in university (not that I think the degree was not worth it, I would just start working asap and taking the courses as part-time student).
