  • I’ve been in the industry awhile and your assessment is dead on.

    As long as you’re not blindly committing the code, it’s a huge time saver for a number of mundane tasks.

    It’s especially fantastic for writing throwaway tooling. Need data massaged a specific way? Ez pz. Need a script to execute an api call on each entry in a spreadsheet? No problem.

    The guy above you is a nutter. Not sure if people haven’t tried leveraging LLMs or what. It has a ton of faults, but it really does speed up the mundane work. Also, clearly the person is either brand new to the field or doesn’t even work in it. Otherwise they would have seen the barely functional shite that actual humans churn out.

    Part of me wonders if code organization is going to start optimizing for interpretation by these models rather than humans.







  • If you’re using a roomba, the app will typically tell you when to replace your brushes and filter. The filter you can find easy replacements for as well as the little spinning brush. The bigger brushes are harder. You can buy replacements from third party vendors for cheap, but they’re not perfect… and if you have carpeting the roomba will freak out until the third party brushes wear down a bit. After that happens, everything mostly works.

    I usually clean out the roomba every week and replace the brushes every 4 months or so. I run mine nightly though (I have kids).
