You're probably thinking of another post (https://xania.org/202512/11-pop-goes-the-weasel-er-count) where an entire loop was optimized to a single instruction

This exact content was only posted today? :)

Just switching (again) to Firefox. I think i will stay there. I hope mozilla does not go full in on AI only things.

Erm, do yourself a favor and run over to your preferred news search engine and step in “Firefox AI”

Haha! Top post was just what i could think. "A rewrite n Rust post to get upvotes".

The fact that i hear this mantra over and over again:

"She wrote a thing in a day that would have taken me a month"

This scares me. A lot.

I never found the coding part to be a bottle neck, but the issues arise after the damn thing is in prod. If i work on something big (that will take me a month) thats going to be anywhere from (im winging these numbers) 10K LOC to 25K LOC).

If thats a bechmark for me the next guy using AI will spew out at a bare minimun double the amount of code, and in many cases 3x-4x.

The surface area for bugs are just vastly bigger, and fixing these bugs will eventually take more time than you "won" using AI in the first place.

It really depends on how you use it. I really like using AI for prototyping new ideas (it can run on the background while I work on the main project) and for getting the boring grunt work (such as creating CRUD endpoints on a RESTful API) out of the way. Leaving me more time to focus on the code that really is challenging and need a deeper understanding of the business or the system as a whole.

The boring stuff like crud always needs design. Else you end up with a 2006 era PHP-like "this is a rest api" spaghetti monster. The fact that AI cant do this (and probably never will) is just another showstopper.

I tried AI, but the code it produces (on a higher level) is of really poor quality. Refactoring this is a HUGE PITA.

I think it's strange too. Why is Lord of the Rings such a famous book series? Surely not because Tolkien could write faster than others.

But when will they release SLOP-1.7-Jizz

The rust fanboys will eat this alive! Props for having the courage to do this tho.

It decended like a shitstorm, and now we are all covered in it.

Gleam should add Go as an target. That would have a huge potentital, as the Go runtime is second to none, and its ecosystem is enormous.

SlopDX.

SSR is just dumb. Its very rare that you would benefit much from this approach, the only thing you get an complexity bomb exploding in your face.

How about either just return html (maybe with htmx), or have a "now classic" SPA.

The frontend must be the most over engineered shitshow we as devs have ever created. Its where hype meets the metal.
