MODERATORS
there’s a lot to be excited for, but
ew.
It’s so weird, i read this in a bunch of jon listings nowadays. How the fuck is it a requirement?!?! You should be fluent in CPP, but also please outsource your brain and encourage the team to do so as well. People are weird man.
It means that the parent company has major investors in the LLM space.
Yeah, what does GOG know?
The real source of wisdom is social media users who approach a topic with bad faith, outrage farming framing. I mean just look at the upvotes, and you can easily tell how right you are, it's basically science.
I'm sorry the only way you know how to write code is with an LLM holding your hand, but I believe if you really devote yourself to it you could learn to be a real programmer. Good luck!
Why did you attack the commenter personally? Are you not able to defend the idea without stooping so low?
Clearly you didn't read the conversation because they were less inaulting and dumb than the peraon they replied to. Why are you so interested in defending trolls?
The irony here is rich.
Yea it is, mr troll.
And we open the book of troll arguments to chapter 1: Ad hominem
Keep going, it really makes you look like the rational one.
Maybe try a red herring next, or a straw man those are always popular.
Bruh, your only "rebuttal" was a straw man and an appeal to authority. Make a better argument before you go accusing people of being trolls.
Oh ok.
'The job listing does not say anything about outsourcing your brain.'
But, everyone knows that because it is obvious on the face.
The subtext, as always, isn't about commenting on the subject of the article or even making any kind of cognizant point that could actually be rebutted. Much like the top comment, it is just running 'ai bad' through an LLM so that it fits the post.
Would you honestly say that the comment that I responded to was made in good faith?
They know some things I'll give you that. But pattern recognition tells me for this example it's more likely they're wrong.
Maybe. We can't say, there is zero information there that even hints at how or how much they use AI.
It isn't like they're saying something specific like 'Must be able to use Cursor, Mercurial and be able to direct multi-agent workflows'.
That bullet point read like it is more there to include a hot keyword on job searching sites than an actual specification that describes the job.
It's kind of like including the word in your comment, so that you grab all of the bot upvotes and can farm outrage in a way that is objectively off-topic and unrelated to the actual post, which is about GOG moving to support Linux, not and not about AI.
It'd be one thing if there was something specific about the job related to AI, or if anyone involved in these comments had actually said anything of substance other than, literally, 'ew'.
So, to my pattern recognition, this looks like every other 'ai bad' thread shoehorned into posts and full of toxic attacks while being light on actual discussion of the topic in the OP.
I mean yes, but maybe if you can interview in good faith, that's not what becomes part of the job.
"I saw here that the use of AI is required. I'm willing to compromise and use AI for some workflows, but I'm skeptical of wide scale adoption. I think its potentially bad for the long term code base maintenance and stability, which is what GOG is founded on. If I find that it's truly helpful in code writing, then I'll continue to work it into my larger workload, but do keep in mind that the Linux community as a whole is more technical than other OS consumers and this will be bad PR."
It's sad that this is basically everywhere these days, and employers will weigh your performance review based on whether you're using AI and how well you're using it. It's terrible.
They’ll change their tune when a few of their new workflows go rogue and auto commit prs it shouldn’t and cause build issues.
This is a "big part" of my job. In five months what I've accomplished is adding AI usage to jira along with a way to indicate how many story points it wound up saving or costing. Let's see how this plays out.
If AI collapses as many expect it to, this job will still be there without that requirement.
I hope the bubble pops soon, and only smaller and more sustainable models stay
Yeah, self-hosted open-source models seem okay, as long as their training data is all from the public domain.
Hopefully RAM becomes cheap as fuck after the bubble pops and all these data centers have to liquidate their inventory. That would be a nice consolation prize, if everything else is already fucked anyway.
Agreed, AI has uses but c-suite execs have no idea what they are and are paying millions to get their staff using them in hopes of finding what those uses are. In reality they are making things worse with no tangible benefit because they are all scared that someone will find this imaginary golden goose first.
Wether you (or I) like it or not, Pandora's box has been opened. There is no future in software development without the use of LLMs.
I appreciate your opinion, but I don't believe you.
100% correct
