Is this worth a listen? Sounds kinda sponsored, click baity and needs some serious proof if true.

All these + the fact that, for me , coding with ai isn’t enjoyable makes it an easy choice to ditch

It’s so fucking annoying. And it’s instead of dev time going into things we actually need

Wouldn't say cringing is the word, trying to be empathetic to myself but I get you. My comment’s timing was definitely off and out of ai frustration.

It’s ok to disagree. I listen to syntax, it’s overall a great listen. Except when you’re praising ai. You did have a couple of banger eye-rolling statements about it.

I think that working on tools like you did is very valuable. I just chose the route of determinism with neovim, lsp, snippets, tmux etc. and learned a ton through out. It’s cool that you mush have learned stuff during this too.

Yeah I like talking shit about ai as much as folks like to hype it, I think the balance needs to shift towards more realistic views. My comment wasn’t meant to be offensive towards you, rather towards ai.

I’m saying this if i extrapolate it to a realistic scenario then it’s slop.

the bandwagon has a lot of hurdles to go through still. Reducing cost by a lot, the bubble collapsing, people learning ti mistrust ai more and more, environmental concerns etc.

Thats what i love about code. Its deterministic. I totally dislike non determinism in my IDE.

It doesn’t in that case. But now you have a slop generating friend that WILL autocomplete stuff that fall under guess work for me. You contrived example that doesnt have any context isnt realistic.

For me it says your priorities are not aligned with mine. I personally like it when products don’t jump on the bandwagon of ai. It comes instead of bugs, deterministic features etc. I’ve worked for wix and seen some shitty product decisions. I have a hunch a copilot is like this.

Not familiar with it specifically but if you can deterministically create beautiful, with human thinking and emotions behind them then yeah this isn’t slop. If it has a bunch of ai tools, it’s probably creating slop for people who just dont care to get bullshitted by ai.

Emmet is deterministic. That’s where the line is.

Dolev Hadar @dlvhdr.me · 4d

How could you know if it was? After the line was autocompleted you were robbed of any thinking around it beforehand. You could’ve come up with something totally different. But now you’re biased towards what the ai spit.
Also there’s always context.

@tolin.ski it’s slop because it‘s text that was generated by guessing the next few words without any ”thinking” behind it. In this case maybe with some thinking you would have stored that in a css variable, looked up a tailwind class or made sure to pick a color with enough contrast. Who knows.
