Wow, this is AMAZING. Wow... this really doesn't work. - Me every time I use A.I. to generate code.

Idk why it took me so long but I just set up some simple React and Storybook snippets. They're semi-specific to my current client's code style, but here ya go! gist.github.com/riccjohn/8d8...

I think one part of the pro/anti LLM thing which needs to occur is this: pro-LLM arguments need to clearly take sides about the problems in the tools they're using. It gets elided too much in the service of "this is actually useful in these ways".

Looking back at code from 6 months ago and being embarrassed often means you've grown a lot since then. However, I LOVE finding my own code from months ago and actually being impressed too! I'm glad I took pride in my code at the time and wrote something that is maintainable and a good example!

Decided to expand on some of my posts here and turn it into a blog post! 8thlight.com/insights/tdd...

Exactly!!! I have an upcoming blog post that sort of touches on this.

So out of touch. No. Adding expensive AI features will not fix declining sales in lower income customer demographics. Fixing poverty might help though.

there’s a weird thing about capitalism that there are these currents, like ai wave, or whatever, and if you hop on them at the right time, you can gain a lot of money. even if you don’t really believe in the thing. market acts as a distortion field because the temptation for money is very powerful

Turns out if you tell AI tooling that you have a helper elsewhere to do something, but don't load it into context, it'll believe you, even if you're wrong 🙃

Bot farms are just grooming humans to publish human sourced information now huh? Must farm humans to extract tokens to train bigger bot farms to groom humans to publish tokens to train bigger bot farms to groom humans to publish tokens to train.... 😵😵😵😵😵😵

There are two developers inside me: The lead who wants to leave working code as is and the junior that wants to delete it and start over.

AI coding tools are NOT magic. They’re like easily-confused, but very knowledgeable pairing partners. If you give them structure, they help. If you let them guess, they hallucinate. Here’s how I guide AI using TDD, and why it’s helped me write better code, faster 🧵
