- internecineHow many people here feel like they’ve brought significantly less value at work because of AI
- jreicherinternecine: Not me. If anything it's the reverse. The more other people use AI, the more the different way I do my work becomes distinctive.
- dreamrealI feel like it's been great as a magnifier. You still have to pay attention, it's like a really junior developer who's FANTASTIC at copy/paste and occasionally reasoning stuff out.
- NeXeNinternecine: i worked a project with someone who used an llm and i was just hand coding, and there was no lost value. the other dev was a 10x before he found out about llms, but it was a whirlwind
- NeXeNthere were like uh i dunno 43 days lost to the AI which was hard to remigrate and stuff, since it was moving from php to nuxt
- NeXeNhonestly, when i think about it, llms are best at porting software from one language to another. save you a lot of time if that is something you have to do. but creativity is not their strong suit
- ParaNeXeN: Yeh, was thinking more in terms of bitmaps vs vectors.
- hwpplayer1Is it hard to code with Java ?
- hwpplayer1I'll be back later
- hwpplayer1Thanks
- hwpplayer1I'm here though
- dreamrealare you :)
- ParaAny book recommendations on software architecture? One I've got so far is Software Architecture in Practice by Len Bass et.al, but I'm thinking of getting maybe 2-3 books to read over indeterminate period of time.
- NeXeNPara: it's quirky, older machines don't run it so well, newer machines it's fabulous, especially 3d
- NeXeNbut i mean not like in a linear way, like swing, it's kinda still just ok all the time no matter the hardware, but never stellar
- jreicherPara: Can you elaborate on what you mean by "software architecture"? My first thought is design patterns, but my guess is you're already familiar with that...
- jbosmansPara, i liked uncle bob's clean architecture fwiw
