I’ve found that the quality of code produced by my team has dropped significantly since my org pushed everyone to use LLMs. “Let me throw an agent at it” usually means “here’s another headache of a PR for me to review.” Engineers with decades of experience are writing such utter fucking crap now, and it doesn’t matter how many docs I write for their fuckass agents to ingest, the quality doesn’t seem to be getting better. They can make their agent loop on it for functionality/bug and hallucination squashing, but that usually just means I get a bloated fucking mess to review. It’s miserable and it makes me want to go shovel actual hog shit.

Sincerely,

a very sad and tired senior dev who used to enjoy his job

I’d argue that humanism is a bit different from, say, Christianity. It has ancient philisophilcal roots, but it’s not like humanists are following texts from some crazy asshole tripping balls in a desert 2000 years ago.

I host an instance for my own personal use. It lives on my local network and nowhere else. I just use wg-tunnel on my phone to automagically VPN home when I’m out. It’s just not worth the headache to expose it publically IMO.

You’re absolutely right, I had shit all mixed up in my head. Oops 😅 thank you for the correction.

MITM HTTPS traffic without a key doesn’t really let you do much of anything, especially with stuff like HSTS. You can mess with DNS, but the whole certificate authority thing is meant to make it so you can’t redirect someone’s traffic to a malicious server.

This leaked private key completely destroys that guarantee, making it extremely scary. ~Plus, saved traffic for any site signed by this key which didn’t use PFS will be subject to post-facto decryption.~

edit: I don’t know wtf I was thinking, the decryption thing is nonsense.

At least according to Ed Zitron, they only appeared profitable due to creative bookkeeping. They timed the announcement of their shitty “annualized revenue” to coincide with the few months of vastly reduced rent at the datacenter Musk rented to them as well as the shift to token based billing for enterprise customers. Their inference is likely not profitable.
