This is just brilliant. Every ridiculous argument addressed perfectly.

but you have no idea what the code is

Are you a vibe coding Youtuber? Can you not read code? If so: astute point. Otherwise: what the fuck is wrong with you?

You’ve always been responsible for what you merge to main. You were five years go. And you are tomorrow, whether or not you use an LLM.

I want to scream every time somebody brings up “but it writes code that doesn’t work” and all I can think of is “what the fuck is wrong with you that you’re merging code that doesn’t work?” LLMs do not remove your responsibility as a developer to create a working product.

I’ve played with QwenCoder2.5, Qwen3, and Devstral.

Holy shit are they bad. Seriously, consistently bad at coding. Initialized variables that are never used. Importing, using functions/methods that don’t exist, it’s fucking pathetic.

I don’t know what to tell ya - GPT 4o does a really good job. Feel free to simply blame “ai slop” for everything though.

Kinda late to the party but based on my day-to-day usage of ChatGPT, 4o is rubbish when it comes to coding.

Now o4-mini-high on the other hand - that’s the good stuff (most of the time).
