  • I’m not going to read it but I bet it’s nowhere near as good as he thinks it really is

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the statistics on “AI generated code” was like, I type 10 characters, I let AI autocompleted the next 40 characters, but then I have to edit 20 of those characters, and the AI tool counts “40 characters” as “AI generated” since that was what was accepted

    Not to mention since it’s probably all trained on their own internal codebase and there’s a set certain coding style guide, it’d probably perform way worse for general coding if people weren’t all trying to code following the exact same patterns, guidelines, and libraries,


  • I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s technically true but it’s more like, coder starts writing out a line of code, AI autocompletes the rest of the line, and then the coder has to revise and usually edit it. And the amount of code by character count that the AI autocompleted is 25% of all new code. Like same shit as Github’s CoPilot that came out years ago, nothing special at all

    None of that 25% of AI generated code wasn’t very heavily initiated and carefully crafted by humans every single time to ensure it actually works

    It’s such a purposeful misrepresentation of labour (even though the coders themselves all want to automate away and exploit the rest of the working class too)











  • I’ve been in the software industry in a few western countries and have heard a little about India’s

    Does India do reference calls with previous employers? If no, just take the internship, do the bare minimum to not get fired and keep your sanity + dignity, smack that on your resume, and lie to make it more impressive if you want to

    The goal being to find a healthier job later on which will be easier after this internship
