Replace everything is a file with “everything is a byte stream with a file handle” and your there.
There is A LOT of Unix that doesn’t stick to the convention of “everything is a text file” and for good reason.

Programming@programming.dev•We can't just call AI-generated code slop anymore
5·21 days agoSlop is slop, AI slop < human slop.
All your doing is advertising how much you don’t respect your work or the work of others.
Code is the app, code is the functionality. If the code is crap then so is the functionality.
You’ve made a tool with a loose handle. And axe with a crack in they head. It’s gonna fly off and hurt someone.
Just because you are a crappy programmer doesn’t mean everyone else is.
There is nothing wrong with open source. Your opened source code just sucks.
Idk what to tell you besides to take a long critical look at yourself and your work.

6·22 days agoIf you can’t write manually and have it not be slop then you can’t program with a LLM effectively.
It doesn’t matter how much instruction you give a LLM it fundamentally cannot evaluate itself. Because to ensure that it’s evaluating correctly either you need to evaluate it or someone else. These are not deterministic machines and will “lie” to reach their goals. And I put that in quotes because it’s not really lying that’s to much personification.
These things are not good for literally anything beyond minor transformation or boilerplate.
Trust me. If you actually spend the time learning to code well written software by hand you will save time and get a better result. LLMs based coding is a anti-pattern.
You’re not getting push back because “programmers a upset their jobs are getting stolen” you’re getting push back because your falling for LLM company propaganda. LLMs just are not there yet.
If more then 20% of your code is written by a LLM your using it wrong.

26·22 days agoI’ve read some other comments and wanted to add.
You cannot use a LLM to verify its own work
They have no ability to think. Any intelligence they have is extremely limited. There a mostly automatic copy and paste machines. They pull code from their training data and online and attempt to compose the.
Using a LLM to verify its own work is like asking a criminal to run their own trial.
That’s just now any of this works. I think you should take a step back from the LLM and really start evaluating your work more critically. There is more to software then “it works!”

15·22 days agolook I’m all for using LLMs for tedious or straight forward transformations of easily verifiable logic. The issue is they LLMs are sycophantic by nature and we are seeing a lot of newly freed “geniuses” who have promised “no no no. You see! I know the secret to using them for good!”
It’s like the one ring. If you start using it for doing anything beyond reformating, anything that requires critical thinking, you’ve already trapped yourself.
You’ll feel like your work is quality when it isn’t.
Personally I still think the quality of LLM code is crap for pretty much anything. Much better done by a well seasoned developer, which is harder to come by then people think. A LLM can help in some narrow cases but not many.

Linux@programming.dev•Linux is Getting a New Default Folder in Your Home Directory
2·22 days agoIt’s only optional and configurable if it’s respected. Which often times it’s not due to convention.
And I do already actually, it’s just weird that I have to.
It’s 100% one of those carry overs from earlier days of computing and Linux not having great standards only great conventions. Like /bin vs /usr/bin

22·23 days agoHonestly I say just let the user decide what goes in their home directory. I always get annoyed at all the random garbage in there. There should be a specific place that is user owned that isn’t filled with cruft and configuration files
