I’m buying either the Framework Desktop or Steam Machine, whichever is cheaper.

And cats hunt for fun, not just food.

Let’s see, we’re understaffed even now and with AI we can kinda keep up.

But I’ll eat my liquorice shoe like Chaplin if this turns into massive layoffs 🫠

Not OP but:

In our company programmers are still fully responsible for the code they commit and must be able to explain it in a PR review.

It just speeds up things, it doesn’t replace anyone.

Simple things that would’ve taken a day can be done before lunch now, just because it’s just prompt + read code + PR (full unit and integration test suites ofc, made by humans)

Definitely

I just did three tasks purely with Claude - at work.

All were pretty much me pasting the Linear ticket to Claude and hitting go. One got some improvement ideas on the PR so I said “implement the comments from PR 420” and so it did.

These were all on a codebase I haven’t seen before.

The magic sauce is that I’ve been doing this for a quarter century and I’m pretty good at reading code and I know if something smells like shit code or not. I’m not just YOLOing the commits to a PR without reading first, but I save a ton of time when I don’t need to do the grunt work of passing a variable through 10 layers of enterprise code.

Depends on the “app”.

A full ass Lemmy client? Nope.

A subtitle translator or a RSS feed hydrator or a similar single task “app”? Easily and I’ve done it many times already.

These are the principles I follow:

https://indieweb.org/make_what_you_need

https://indieweb.org/use_what_you_make

I don’t have time to argue with FOSS creators to get my stuff in their projects, nor do I have the energy to maintain a personal fork of someone else’s work.

It’s much faster for me to start up Claude and code a very bespoke system just for my needs.

I don’t like web UIs nor do I want to run stuff in a Docker container. I just want a scriptable CLI application.

Like I just did a subtitle translation tool in 2-3 nights that produces much better quality than any of the ready made solutions I found on GitHub. One of which was an *arr stack web monstrosity and the other was a GUI application.

Neither did what I needed in the level of quality I want, so I made my own. One I can automate like I want and have running on my own server.

Same thing would happen if they were a non-coder project manager or designer for a team of actual human programmers.

Stuff done, shipped and working.

“But I can’t understand the code 😭”, yes. You were the project manager why should you?

What if I can find it but it’s either shit or bloated for my needs?

I’ve made full-ass changes on existing codebases with Claude

It’s a skill you can learn, pretty close to how you’d work with actual humans

Repost bots should be built in to Reddit tbh

Just take whatever was the top 5 a year ago and repost it at the same time

Karma guaranteed

I’m guessing something about PSP sized because they have their Android Linux emulator project ongoing too

Fastmail + masked email has worked flawlessly

Or just llama.cop they finally got an UI added

You should, it’s pretty good. There’s an explicit point and a few scenes about the decision to switch their last name to a non-German one

I, too, have watched The Crown 😜

Russia is literally taking children from their parents in the occupied region and “re-educating” them to be Proper Russians

You think that would stop if Putin controls ALL of Ukraine? He’d just let them be?

Yes.

Every dead Russian man of military age isn’t available to attack my country.

They’ll use their future indoctrinated Putin Youth for that, but it takes a decade for them to grow up still.

Russia only respects force.

They will push and prod and poke and if you’re soft they get bolder and bolder. Like a school bully.

But kick them in the nuts real hard once and they’ll back down
