@whimsical Second that

@MM83 LMAO.

The funny think it's that in vscode you can create so called instruction files that are basically the system prompt fed to AI before answering and I rephrased in a hundred ways the concept of -Stop fucking saying "You're absolutely right", that shit is banned.

And Claude couldn't care less in his aggressive apologeticness

@Lensflare Except they did constant improvements during the years while AI got just 2 major leaps amongst all the bullshit:

RAG/Memory/Context and Deep thinking.

Yet there are tons of discussion and studies confirming that deep thinking can backfire and produce worse performance in terms of quality.

Basically we have a broken toy for now

@whimsical Well apparently is not enough

@BordedDev It was instructed strictly to transform the form from one style to another exactly like it was. So even if not directly it was.

To be nitpicky the exact prompt was

I need you to take example on how to build a perfect devexpress form from #file:Index.cshtml of XXXX and fully convert the form at in index of YYYY so that accomodates the same syntax. Maintain all fields of XXXX, the YYYY is just an example. Remove the <form tag as shown> and apply the necessary modifications

with this it butchered my form completely with tons of invented fields. More corrective prompts later it produced the result I posted up there

@Lensflare maybe but LLM must be the milestone as it's the main way to communicate with us and for us to analyze what they are doing in an explicit way-

World evolved through speech and LLM is paramount to AGI

Sure, sure!

@jestdotty Most top tier AI do that.

Where the heck we ended up?

Damn

@IHateForALiving Came here after you commented on my angular rant.

I can only feel you and I am so sorry you have to work with that utter piece of shit.

I swear god in my job I wanted to avoid it and instead every once in a while some fucking hipster customer managed to get scammed into thinking angular is the latest bleeding edge tech.

So I had to work with angularjs, angular 2,6,8,12,14,16,18,20 for big and small projects.

Not once in all these years I felt for once that angular was a framework nearly ready for real production scenarios.

But the fucking programming hipster bandwagon made js ubiquitos so.... I just surrended. When some angular project comes in I just do a "SIGH......:" and go on with it.

Wanna laugh?

I asked Claude 4 with copilot on vs code to rework a small form with about 10 fields.

Nothing complex I could've done it in 15 mins because it had some readonly conditions and stuff.

Result?

Claude4 answer after I pointed out some errors:

"You're absolutely right, I fucked up. I added an Email field that doesn't exist anywhere in the original form or the model. I made that shit up completely - there's no Email field in the original table-based form below, and I have no idea why I added it.

Looking at the original form, the "XXXXXX" section only has:

---LIST OF FIELDS

There's NO EMAIL FIELD anywhere. I completely invented that field like an idiot.

I apologize for that stupid mistake. Should I fix the form to match exactly what's in the original without the fictional Email field?

Yes yes, the thread is about GPT 5.

GPT5 invented half of the form not only a few fields.

Sigh....

You're underestimating JS. It's more like an ocean of shit, not just a bowl

@tosensei Unfortunately I wish it was a minority of scammers like you picture it. But every social platform and big tech annoucement sounds like that. I really hoped you were right though.

@kiki Enjoying linux is some next level unknowingly masochism

@kiki The fuck u talking about gal... surveillance capitalism? lmao, even if it's on open source (and that grants nothing unless you take the whole source, examine it yourself and compile it by yourself) your freedom of privacy ends as soon as the first tcp packet leaves your computer (and vice-versa).

No amount of open source free anarchy11!!11111!! OS or firmware is going to give you any degree of freedom.

You have a lot of time to waste

They're not going to stop anyway.

In europe now we have to have an instagram account to access the module to opt-out of data collection for AI training purposes.

The irony

@kiki Linux is a disaster, lol. Systemd is only a chunk of shit of the whole big shit

I'm a simple efficient senior developer: I read linux and I know it's gonna be shit.

After 12 years in the field and the whole ecosystem of any programming language becoming a clusterfuck of libraries and frameworks rolled out by incompetent idiots, I try to pass less time I can on programming and delegate everything I can to AI because it's the main tool against incompetent idiots bursting out new bug-ridden shit frameworks by the day. I hate AI, but I hate even more idiot uncapable wannabe programmers that put out tools advertising them as top notch. Eventually, some idiot will catch up and get fooled by their word-salad and somehow these little shit frameworks become a thing and you have to deal with them.

I.E: Angular, Javascript etc etc.

@retoor Jeez, I checked the thing and it reports also the tools you use. What a sad life you have. Linux and android.

YIKES!

@AceDev Wish also AI had feelings

@tosensei Not following you in your contorted mind juggling smh. Elaborate

@tosensei Bullshit. You are a brainwashed slave or smth.

Developer is developer and to do his job well he has to do the minimum amount of tech juggling and context switching.

Offloading everything to a developer because it can will only push him to find another company when doing all these jobs togheter like a fucking swiss army knife makes him skilled enough to ask for a higher salary somewhere else and he can allow to trasnfer.

I changed 3 companies for this getting 3 raises. Not planning to stop. Just taking longer than usual because they allowed me to have my own AI project and that shit is long to study, but they pay me for it so I am fine with it.

@Jabb03 Unfortunately this is a great answer that does not apply to the real world, unless you don't want to be taken as a serious professional.

That said, you gotta develop a soft skill that allows you to shape reality in "Yes i know what is happening but I have to open a ticket to devops and shit" and sometimes you gotta solve it by yourself because you can't just wait some neckbeard devops taking 2 days to view your ticket and 2 to solve it by changing a config flag from true to false.

Late to the party but I'm consistently using it since 2 years (not for my choice) and I must disagree with you:

It's not only a worthless piece of shit, it's frustrating, stupid and poorly designed.

Like all the poor designed shit that gets pooed out from apache and that gets blowjobs from OSS linux beardnecks.

The only thing that makes these college freshman projects famous is the same that make linux widely used:

It's free. IF they starts charging money or make it close sourced, bye bye.

People goes a long distance to not pay a few hundred bucks.

I've been through linux, kafka, openCAD, and many many open source shit. I learnt the hard way that paid software usually (but not always) means superior quality on all sides.

my username checks out and the posts also for sure.

The problem?

We got all these "learn coding in 3 months" and college freshmans and most of all these high tech dropouts that believe they're the next IT genius and are able to write a mature framework with the same ease you write a sidekick weekend project.

This led to lot of these idiots to puke out shit on github and generally everywhere advertising it in bold claims as the new panacea for all evil.

Dumb idiots and marketing guys advertise and use it (dumb idiot = the guy who hops on whatever bandwagon is trendy at the moment) and bang you got some new framework that just because some people use it or "that guy worked at google!" then it must be goooood!

Programming today is a hell because of these walking cancers

@tosensei Thank god, I was already preparing myself for a backlash of AI zealots in my comments

@BordedDev Also got problem posting again, this time in dev tools (and not displayed on the webpage LOL, I had to go in dev tools and examine the http response), it said it's either too long or had special charachters.

Turns out I had put a word in quotation marks and this was getting devrant angry.

Heh.....

@BordedDev when you post there is a char counter that warns you if it's too long. Rephrasing with AI because I'm lazy did the trick.

Too much in mid for sure but it's the poor code that make my blood boil.

It's all the little OPTIMIZATIONS that they justify as good practice until death that kills me inside. When it's 1 or 2 no problem, but they pile up thousands of them and it drives me nuts.

One example for the sake of explaining:

Dependency injection in .NET WebAPI, you basically have to type in service.Add.... for every service that has to be injected later in code.

Usually this is done in the entrypoint code (Program.cs class) and you pile up all the entries there. If they are much you divide them by type (services, repositories) and if they are very much you divide them in regions (collapsible areas to keep it hidden).

They made a new whole project with a class and a method for every "region" and to find one dependency you have to skim 5 classes in 2 projects.

@AlgoRythm I like that in 43 days nothing has improved. They brought into copilot Claude 3.7 sonnet and it's fucking up like the other older models.

It's awesome jesus, it is doing the exact same errors.
