extending an enormous &quot;bruh&quot; to the people who are making a spreadsheet of all the mainstream programming languages and tools that you &quot;shouldn&#39;t use&quot; because they have some tests written by Claude that probably wouldn&#39;t have been written without it (ie. it increases correctness). cmon man. yes there are people writing slop but almost all people who give a shit and work on production systems don&#39;t (and are probably busy getting their day ruined by jackasses wielding chatbots even if they do use them themselves). leftists gobble up purity politics better than devout Catholics.

@leftpaddotpy I'm afraid I'm mostly with them on this. I'm fully aware I'm going to need to compromise and use some of this stuff, but at the very least I want to know who is using it for what so I can make informed decisions. The mere fact that it's potentially so opaque is a huge part of the problem. My urge to set all the tech in my life on fire and go farm goats is intensifying day by day.

@leftpaddotpy my perspective has changed quite a lot since I've listened to https://securitycryptographywhatever.com/2026/03/25/ai-bug-finding/. These are people who know a thing or two about security and you can listen to them trying to understand the consequences of LLMs on the field. Afterwards I don't feel any less annoyed by AI, just more like LLM based security analysis will be needed to defend against those abusing these tools

@leftpaddotpy even some of the smallest models (that I can run on my own computer!) are extremely good refactor engines in comparison to like... AST manipulation or a bunch of futzing with regexes
