Because I see almost dead Internet and even Youtube is literally on death bed!

More software does not mean anything to me if most software is useless or bad.
Just like how more commits isn't a good metric to me. I'd rather drive a car that doesn't need daily maintenance, yet for some reason people consider a repo getting commits every hour to be "healthy".
I want old, boring, working software. Not new, hastily developed, maintenance fests that require spawning new repos for new dependencies that do nothing.

I think it was Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code who bragged that he commited 32k line that month, then I look closer and it says 32k added, 30k deleted. So really just 2k lines and if the were written more efficiently it would probably be 1k.
AI just increases churn, it hardly produces more production level code.

As someone who made a public git repo with a slop coded application on it, it took me all of an hour to proooompt it out. Yeah it worked, but I'm also never going to add to that or expand it in anyway whatsoever. I also know there's parts of the code that look like complete shit, and are not extensible as written.
This is just measuring productivity as pure output, and that's fucking retarded. Most of these AI apps are the equivalent of burning tens of thousands of tokens just to dig a hole and fill it back in again. It existing is the same contribution to the world as if it didn't ever exist. Nobody will be downloading or relying on my slop coded application. I made it to see what it was like to slop code in the laziest manner possible (no .md files or anything).
>>108400548
Basically this.
>>
>>108400753
And I also see the same at my company. Added lines are already not a good metric, but now it's not even that, it's just changed lines. Let me add 2k lines of slop today, and tomorrow I'll delete them and add 2k lines of different slop.
>>
>>108400753
Time to download all the software you'll need for the next couple of years before it gets replaced with AIslop

>>108400737
They have problems all the time, yesterday and today was also bad. I'm not even saying that this must be because of their slop code, and I'm also not even saying that AI is completely useless, but it's just not better than a good engineer, and definitely not some 10x or even higher multiplier.

100$/hour service fee plus 900$/hour hazard pay so you don't blow your brains out when having to go through the absolute slop you get sent every day. Seems only fair.
>>
>>108400012
That's only an improvement if the remaining 99% is getting deleted. It isn't. It's being pushed to production with almost no testing.

I have improved my codeflow tremendously by using Claude Code, an agentic coding tool that reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands, and integrates with your development tools. It takes not time to understand the agentic loop, built-in tools, and how Claude Code interacts with your project.

First of, no that wouldn't be huge, second off that would still be a negative due to how much time it takes from people doing code reviews and how much of the 99% makes it into production

>>
>>108399922
There's conflicting data on this claiming that most employees actually got slower with ai.
This explosion of adds and websites likely means that people who barely/don't know how to code gave it a shot and made something. Also, there's a lot of people trying to make an ai bullshit app that will make them rich. It's the dotcom era website frenzy but with apps.
So effectively qheat seems to be happening is that the barrier of skill/knowledge to make something got nuked into the floor, but more complex stuff might still be done faster by humans. Ofcourse this might change as AI gets better to the point that a person who has only coded loops and ifs might be able to work as well as the best coders by using ai.
>>
>>108400095
Foss has always been a shitshow where most of the work is sifting through the retardation to get commits that actually improve something. It's just that the maintainers now have to look through 10x as much volume of code

This take is pretty stupid. As long as you have to work the same hours for the same pay, nothing changes by the work being more mindless. Hell, for a lot of people that actually liked the job before it probably got significantly worse.

Confirmed. I've noticed that most of my recent websearches have turned up almost completely AI generated slop, which includes the now integrated AI-generated slop answers (which are usually wrong in some way), 99.9999% of search results are AI-generated slop websites, and now even the Youtube videos that show up in search results are about 80% AI-generated slop where the video is just a series of images with AI voiceover. I haven't used any "new" software/apps since the AI craze has started because there has been nothing of value produced. At best, maybe some of the legacy stuff that I use has seen some updates/patches that were assisted by AI, but who knows.

We're already at the point where people are using AI to try to autodetect and filter out AI.

>>108399922
I made the mistake of trying to contribute to a vibe coded project on github recently.
The dev didn't even make his own replies to issues and PRs.
Every reply was a claude wall of words.
The project which sorta appeared to work at first was full of basic bugs that wouldn't have existed if the code was even tested once by the person developing that feature.
In one patch, the bot reformatted everything to bloat it up, wall of words style.
In the next patch, it denied there was a bug at all.
Then when I persisted it said it was a bridge too far to add 5 toUpperCase string comparisons since the compared values were not always upper. Apparently THAT would be bloat.
Then when I pointed out the thing was already a bloated claude mess it decided fixing my "edge case" meant I was not the target audience and closed the issue.

Since AI work can't be copyrighted, I'm just taking the thing, chopping out all the bloat, and calling it mine now.
That's where AI coding is going, to the LISP curse.
Everyone has their own one off implementation of everything.
Nobody collaborates anymore.
And I can see that, because covid zoomies have zero social skills and can't collaborate if they tried.

>>108407638
It definitely is and is eye rolling cringe at the same time.
>>
>>108409893
I'm noticing something similar.
You see, i'm studying computer science at my uni (i'm a zoomer) and I have a programming class where we must group and code shit. What I find funny is how all of my 4 group partners, first, don't know how to code for shit, which is strange given that this is not the first programming class of the career.
Second, not only they use chagpt for everything (not even claude) but when they get a solution they don't understand and I propse something better, they will still pick the chatgpt solution. I also don't understand half the libraries chatgpt imports, so it's basically impossible to program with them and contribute.
>>
>>108411290
Basically, AI is allowing no-coders to interact with can-coders who are miserable having to deal with their retardation.
Coders using AI with coders is generally fine as long as everyone is still skilled. Coders using AI to slam out a fast private project is fine too. Its when dumbass vibecoder retards come in, let the AI do everything including thinking for them, and then foists their garbage onto can-coders when it really fucking sucks.
>>
>>108400196
No, I don't really expect any kind of progress from now on that is not AI related.
Why making, for instance, a replacement of C that is faster and works better when humans won't even use it and it would be much more profitable and quick to just make AIs smarter so they can optimize code better? Not to mention that if you do sonething new, AIs won't have examples from where to eork therefore they won't be good.
I feel like this is the last step of the computer tech world, we are in the end game where you have unlocked everything and there's no more content.

If you're not using AI to churn out code for your job you're an idiot.
If you're using it on your own projects you're also an idiot.
>>
>>108400647
The reality is that employers will eventually “measure” productivity by how much developers prompt. Using Claude was fun in the first few months, but it’s going to feel pretty depressing knowing that managers can easily prompt summaries of how their teams are working.
>>
>>108400530
Me too. I'll do it by feeding the code through all the AIs and have them argue about how to make it better.

Then I'll manually type out the answer the AIs came up with and say that it was hand-coded.

This has been going on well before AI. FizzBuzz used to be an interview question to weed out people who couldn't program, that included people who had graduated with a CS degree.

I don't know how they did it, but they managed to get through CS without learning to program.

Real. I made my own midi keyboard with Gemini. If I didn't use AI it would take me 10 years to do so. I'm planning to add knobs in the future.
