Right, I’ve seen the footage too, and I don’t think I’d recognize it as a Borderlands game if the name wasn’t included in the ads. I’m struggling to understand why they chose to go that route, rather than sticking to the beloved, iconic, performant art style of the other games in the series.

You shouldn’t need leaps in hardware to render a highly stylized cell shaded video game in the year 2025.

Exactly, like what CDPR did with Cyberpunk - own up to the fact that it was shit on release, then take the time to fix it and update it. People flipped nearly overnight from having a negative opinion of the game to a positive one when they released the working version of the game (plus a really solid DLC, which probably helped too).

No, your LLM writes your design documentation and tells you how your application is supposed to work, according to what you wrote.

Also, you’re either writing dead-simple applications, or you’re being incredibly hyperbolic if those are the only questions left left after your design document is written.

But I get to focus on the parts where that judgement is actually needed and not the more mundane and toilsome parts of coding.

The parts you’re doing yourself are writing tests and fixing vibe-coded bugs. And you’re outsourcing all the creative, design-based aspects of programming. I think you and I have very different definitions of “mundane” and “toilsome”.

I totally agree with you, but I also feel like the level of testing and enforcement necessary crosses the line of what most people will tolerate. You’ll get people screeching about the government making it too hard and too oppressive to drive (which honestly, good).

Anyways, let’s rip out all the highways and replace them with rail lines already, yeah?

All dishwasher pods suck donkey balls though

I bought a Sceptre TV as my first big purchase after graduating college and it’s still kicking nearly ten years later. Sure the speakers died a few years ago and several buttons on the remote no longer work, but it sure isn’t spying on me. And the picture quality is honestly not bad for what I paid

Waiting in line to purchase something is entirely different from exiting a plane and I’m disappointed that I have to point that out to you.

The selfish dickheads are the ones who get their panties in a wad when people get off the plane before them

I use that phrase all the time and I’m not a terrible driver. In fact, I rarely drive at all. I work from home and live in a walkable area. So yeah, literally if everyone drove like me, there would be less traffic.

What fucking line? What are you queueing for? Is there a Bruno Mars concert at the other end of the jetway or something?

If I’m ready to get off the plane and there’s room for me to leave me seat, I’m getting off the plane. I’m not waiting to consult with you to make sure it’s “my turn” to enter the fucking airport.

LLMs can’t just run chromium unless they’re tool aware and have an agent running alongside them to facilitate tool use. I highly suspect that AI web crawlers aren’t that sophisticated.

Ehhhh, calling that a Korean hot dog is generous lol

Most of that comment is basic American history chief

Lol no, the most writing I do is comments on Lemmy

One of the first things I did at my first full time job (while my very under prepared boss was looking for “junior-dev-friendly” tasks for me to work) was go to git-scm.com and just read through all the man pages I could. I spent a few days doing that, then my boss asked me to create a PowerPoint and present what I learned to the team. It was instantly apparent that I was the only one who knew anything beyond git commit -a on the team at that point, and I was promptly appointed the “title” of “source control SME”. I’ve been heading up version control best practices for every team I’ve been on since (which is scary because the git cli has changed quite a bit since I read all those man pages but I haven’t had a chance to go back and refresh my knowledge).

I swear, no one reads the username they’re replying to lmao.

I didn’t say any of that. I’m not the one that made the original comment that started this thread, I’m not arguing with any straw men. I’m just some guy several comments deep in the thread that decided to contribute.

No one said AI can do absolutely everything soup to nuts.

Yes they did, there’s an entire “vibe coding” industry based on non-developers using AI to write (shitty) software from start to finish. All kinds of software and tech companies are encouraging more and more AI use because they believe AI can write software from the ground up. This article is a direct response to those people.

You circled all the way back to the original point lol. The whole thrust of this conversation is “AI can be used to automate parts of the work, but you still need knowledgeable people to finish it”. Just like “a concrete 3d printer can be used to automate parts of building a house, but you still need knowledgeable people to finish it.”

A good ol’ Mormon thighsoak then
