  • I feel you @xoron@programming.dev. At work, my entire team uses AI coding assistants. I see that there are many tasks that benefit from AI assisted coding, and I see the team shipping more as a result.

    If you ask me, it’s AI-slop only if it’s low effort, low quality contribution. But you can absolutely use AI tooling to create high quality code, and some of the best engineers in my team do so.

    I think there’s a lot of negative sentiment in this community towards AI, and I personally think that denying that AI is a useful tool for writing more and better code at this point in time is somewhat denying reality.




  • So here’s the thing with today’s prosthetics: they kinda suck. For example this 2022 study reports that 44% of amputees rejected their prosthetic:

    Most responders complained about the comfort (60.87%, n = 14) as well as the weight of the device (52.17%, n = 12).

    What apparently goes a long way is accepting the missing limb and living with it. And I guess religion does help with that.
