New Communities@lemmy.world•AI Coding agents - a community for people using Large Language Models for codingEnglish
2·1 month agoHow would it even work? LLMs generate data based on next token probability, not by copying and pasting someone’s repos.
vermaterc@lemmy.mltoGeneral Programming Discussion@lemmy.ml•AI coding assistants are productivity theater for management, not developers
33·1 month agoWhen an AI fills in the boilerplate, generates the implementations, writes the tests, the apprentice never develops the muscle memory they needed to eventually do the real work. We end up with a generation of developers who can prompt well but can’t actually build.
What do you mean by “real work”? What is “actually building”?
If prompting actually adds some real value, if it actually solves actual business problems, then why isn’t it a real work? And if it does not add real value, then no one sane will get rid of senior developers. In my options you’re contradicting yourself.

Programming@programming.dev•If you thought the speed of writing code was your problem - you have bigger problems
222·1 month agoWhat’s in this article is true, but to be honest I’ve never seen anyone using lines of code as an optimization metric. Even among the most AI enthusiastic people. I mean: the author of the article seem to be fighting non-existing problem.

Technology@lemmy.world•Ubuntu quietly raises its minimum system requirementsEnglish
298·1 month agoMemory requirements does not mean that something is bloated.
Windows XP required 64 MB of RAM. Does it mean Debian is bloated then?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Spez (Reddit CEO) just put out an announcement talking about how they'll verify bots vs humans. Get ready for a wave of new users into the Fediverse pretty soon!
112·2 months agoCan someone explain? Isn’t removing bots actually a good thing?

Technology@beehaw.org•Mozilla introduces cq: 'Stack Overflow for agents'
12·2 months agoAre you seriously asking how to make money out of large, structured knowledge base in 2026? Having data these days is like having a goldmine, I can’t think of any more valuable asset.

Technology@beehaw.org•Mozilla introduces cq: 'Stack Overflow for agents'
31·2 months agothat’s probably going to burst soon
what do you mean “burst”? Stock market valuation of IT companies are currently overblown, yes, but the technology is not going anywhere. I’m personally using it for software development, it became part of my workflow and I don’t intend to stop using it. I also see other people chatting with bots daily. It just become a new kind of user interface to which people got used to.

Technology@beehaw.org•Mozilla introduces cq: 'Stack Overflow for agents'
410·2 months agoMaybe you don’t care, but to be a sustainable company, Mozilla need to look for alternative sources of income. They can’t just make 2010s style browser forever.
but these do not work like “trending”, right? They are chronologic?
It’s global trending. Which I find unfortunate, because it basically defeats a purpose of thematic servers. For example I’m on Polish server, full of people taking in Polish, but I see only global trends which are not at all in Polish 🫤

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever converted another “normie” to use a federated social media platform ?
4·2 months agoWhy do people use one social media site over another? He will only do it when he finds it useful.
It’s not a religion. It’s just a tool. Just send him something interesting on this platform. If he thinks there is anything interesting here, he will start using it on his own.

Web Development@programming.dev•µJS - Lightweight AJAX library similar to HTMX
1·2 months agoBtw: I wish there was some showcase of example (ideally open source) websites using this framework. Might be helpful in making decision of actually using it

Web Development@programming.dev•µJS - Lightweight AJAX library similar to HTMX
1·2 months agoNice, but feels like it has really narrow use case. Probably excellent for blogs, landing pages, maybe news sites. But I’m afraid anything more interactive would be a nightmare… although I wish to be proven wrong.

I’m curious how it will turn out to be in a long term. Are we going to have safer software? Because not only defenders will have a powerful tool, but attackers too. But at the same time, number of bugs is finite… Can we in theory one day achieve literally zero bugs in codebase?
