I love this chart, have used it more than once 😄

But something it doesn’t factor in is when you want to automate something to remove the human error on a repeated task. Having to correct a report you already sent to the customer is not fun

It’s over 1.1k comments already, all the rusties fuming 🤣

Sometimes infinite monkeys do write the source code for doom and run it on a thermometer

We had the same thought at same time :P

For most time savings, I recommend putting the chicken to freezer

Or infinity at 0°C

Okay, probably fair. I’ve only been working with LLMs that are extremely non-deterministic in their answers. You can ask same question 17 times and the answers have some variance.

You can request an LLM to create an OpenTofu scripts for deploying infrastructure based on same architectural documents 17 times, and you’ll get 17 different answers. Even if some, most or all of them still manage to get the core principals right, and follow the industry best practices in details (ie. usually what we consider obvious such as enforcing TLS 1.2) that were not specified, you still have large differences in the actual code generated.

As long as we can not trust that the output here is deterministic, we can’t truly trust that what we request from the LLM is actually what we want, thus requiring human verification.

If we write IaC for OpenTofu or whatnot, we can somewhat trust that what we specify is what we will receive, but with the ambiguity of AI we can’t currently make sure if the AI is filling out gaps we didn’t know of. With known providers for, say, azurerm module we can always tell the defaults we did not specify.

Deterministic answers from AI

Yeah, from the beginning

Ah, that answers the question “when did oracle become so evil?”

First off, I’d suggest printing out a copy of the GNU coding standards, and NOT read it. Burn them, it’s a great symbolic gesture.

Economists eating shit is funnier

The actual link: https://larslofgren.com/codesmith-reddit-reputation-attack/

Two economists are walking in a forest when they Come across a pile of shit.

The first economist says to the other “Ill pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.

They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “l pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.

Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, “You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. can’t help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing.” “That’s not true”, responded the second economist. “We increased the GDP by $200!”

Insert 2 economists eating shit joke

Best I can do is to be a (SC)RUM master

Drink your rum, there’s people dehydrating in Sweden

Oh, I’m skimming through comments too fast lol

You can with PATs though
