Ditto. I'm in ERP. So Claude's knowledge may not be as complete there as say C++, however, It's still decent. Decent enough to help me work thru issues.

I had it write a simple program for copying some settings and setting up some outputs. Stuff that's documented but is a pain to do, mistakes happen...I figured it was a good test. I worked with it for about 4 hours, starting with nothing. Explaining the changes needed and the need. Wrote a beauty of an ABAP program. Simple, complete, documented. $10. If I had to use the offshore resource. it would have been 2 or 3 days. And maybe close to what I needed? Definitely more than $10.

I'm more interested in Saving our on site, employee programmers than the offshore contractors. I'm going to have to train them correctly on using it. It can code, but stupid is a stupid does. You can hurt yourself good if you're not careful.

God, Enlightenment. That's a name I haven't heard, in a long, long time.

The ultimate endpoint of vibe-coding. No AI code is copyright-able. it's all GPL by default. That sounds like a great idea. I would support that.

You can compile it, use it, copy it, sell it, improve it, release the source...keep going...If people want to compile and use it themselves..so be it.

I agree... Rogue One showed they were capable of making movies in the star wars setting in other genres ( i.e. "A War Movie"). They could have made ("A detective movie", "A murder mystery", etc. etc.)

KK clearly had jailworthy dirt on the big wigs. Maybe Epstein? Have any of the old board member names shown up yet?

Sounds like the rules of the road were followed. This can happen and does happen daily.

Lucky kid!

Exactly. There are times they, Big Pharma, fuck up, but on the whole, it's been pretty great.

The fact that everything reverts back to pre-ozempic fairly quick actually make me think it's ok. Nothing permanent looks like it's getting changed, good or bad.

Discipline has nothing to do with it. Some people's body's are just different. Willpower isn't the same, even the cravings aren't the same. I'm not going to come down on anyone anymore for losing to it. It's possible that the lucky who don't need it simply don't have the same cravings, so the willpower isn't needed. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. But we can't say. My willpower is good for 2 months, then the body stops listening. GLP-1s have let me push past that for a year. that is amazing to me. I know it's not me doing the heavy lifting, and that sits on my mind. But my heart, knees, body in general is feeling much much better.

It's like a Blood Pressure medication or any lifelong pill/shot.

I'm more eager for the pill version of Zepbound, since I already take daily meds, adding 1 isn't a big deal. The shot is easy, mostly painless, so it's not an issue. Just different from my standard procedure.

Seems like everyone reverts rather quickly. So the internal systems haven't changed; we are treating symptoms at this point. Once they can figure out the mechanism to lock in the change, that will be the most impressive part. However, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I did something similar with writing an app for my iPhone. Wasn't anything earth shattering, just little bowling game.

I tried to stay with the agent, and even reviewed what was done, offered my own corrections. It was fun to a point. Kind of like turning on cheat codes to a game.

Yeah, you can complete it sooner, but it's lacks that "I did it!" feeling. I need that. not everyone does, sometimes it's just they need the $ at the end of the line.

So to each their own I say. But if I have to maintain it, I should have an input into it's creation (vibe coded).

My tech debt right now is more than enough, from 30+ years of ERP code, I don't need Vibe code on top of that.

Rust.Net - Now with holes big enough to drive a semi thru!

The state laws could be unconstitutional due to interstate commerce. However, the Feds should regulate it thoroughly. Enviromental, National Security, etc

There should be a national level effort like the Manhattan project. Companies should be working together under goverment oversight, and working toward a common goal. Maybe that will keep a AI apocalyse away for a bit. maybe protect us from it?

I know my opinion is in the minority. The future is starting to scare more than usual.

At this stage, we're all learning. (not that we ever stop), Vibe coding can be great for learning if the dev is taking time to understand what's being done. But I fear too many are taking the easy path and just writing a prompt and shipping. That's not safe for any environment, let alone production. Some time in the future it may be better. We'll have the proper guide rails for AI, the proper testing paths, and overall reviews. Right now isn't that time. If you want stable, efficient code, which you definitely do for Production and kernel maintenance, AI isn't ready. It's not any more ready than self-driving cars. Can they do it? Sure, would you trust them in every situation? probably not. That "Probably, not" is what gets you killed. Or Panics the kernel, or crashes the DB....etc.

Linus is a smart guy, I might not agree with everything he implements, but for the Linux kernel, I can say I never felt like he went in the wrong direction.

I'm sure this discussion will continue. It's not a once-and-done. But as newer and better coding systems come online, they'll need to be tested and verified, and eventually we may get something that passes the test. It's already miles ahead of where we were only 10 years ago. I can't predict how we'll be next year.

He's saying we're in a bubble?

thought so.

They'd make my life a little easier, in some respects. Shipping to EU now is a bitch. They want it all done "in continent", so selling US book version to EU markets requires a shit ton of devotion. It can be done, I've seen it recently. but it's a lot of work.

Digital? damn, no freaking production or change of ownership issues. Just 1's and 0's. Royalties, stay, billing gets simpler.

The only problem we have now is digital is growing and while the actual process is simple, the volume of it, becomes fun.

either way though I get paid. As long as people keep reading and writing. Thank you, Johannes Gutenberg!

2006 is the Freshmen college class. 2008 isn't for 2 more years.

The decline started before the crash

You're absolutely correct.

Probably, if they used the blunt language, people would actually start paying attention and want changes to the investment process. But the word salad obfuscates the issue enough that people's eyes gloss over, and they move on. So the Status Quo is protected.
