irelephant [he/him]Proton is vibe coding some of it's apps.
galoisghostUm, it’s a public repository. You can view the code that’s been added. Even if it IS AI generated, you can review it yourself.
I’m as anti-AI as anyone but this is misplaced AI-alarmism.
OptionalDoes anyone here actually review code?
CrazyHorseOnly my own code and so far most of it has been unacceptable.
Pure, unabashed honesty. I love it. 🫶
Swednecki once wrote a script to launch a program with specific flags that i think was mostly correct, it holds center place on my CV
Uh yeah? You’d be stupid not to review code, whether written by an AI or a human. I don’t trust either.
MalReynoldsI’m guessing OP means code you use rather than code you write, in other words auditing. Likely very few of us do that with any thoroughness. IIRC proton does have some independent auditing.
That’s what I mean too. Y’all don’t just copy-paste from stack overflow praying it works do you?
No, like proton mail app. Have you reviewed it? Or Signal or Veracrypt or TheNewHotness.
That obviously not what they meant. They mean, do you review the code for every open source application you use? Do you review every library you utilize? I’m willing to be it’s a no for both of these, because no one has time for that.
hansoloDoes anyone here realize that one person using Cursor doesnt mean “tHeY’rE vIbE cOdInG aCrOsS tHe wHoLe pLaCe!”
Then why didn’t they just say that instead of being g shady and rewriting history?
Because it’s also not a great idea to expose your rules files, and tell people first “oh shit, we mentioned rules files. Please don’t look!” before
I’ll be honest here, I’ve had less dogmatic conversations with conspiracy theorists about COVID. If you just need to make this a huge problem that later turns out to be a nothingburger and you’ll never look back and grow as a human, then hey, you do you. But know that you’ll look like a fool to anyone that isn’t a goldfish and remembers more than 3 months at a time. Because you clearly don’t know what’s a big deal and what’s not, and this is a Grade A waste of all our time to pitch a fit about.
Because thier bosses aren’t accounta le to you and I? That don’t have to say a dn thing
that would make sense if it wasn’t a fucking business selling the promise of security lol
Again. They don’t answer to us. They don’t have to say anything
Now. I agree that they SHOULD. It would be not only be better buisness, BUT its the right thing yo do
But no, they don’t. The should.
oh so you just want to be annoyingly pedantic, cool
No. I’m saying quit bitching and switch f you don’t like it. I have
Yes, and it’s one of the most important things I do. Given the AI codegen boom we’re seeing, it’s also the skill I have that is increasing the fastest in value.
yes as a consultant/freelancer THIS is where the majority of my work is coming from now. if you’re good at this SERIOUSLY consider consulting and freelancing for various companies that are now desperately trying to fix their AI tech debt. It’s the ONE thing that is completely in demand right now due to the sheer incompetence of all these places that decided vibe coding and AI was the way to go.
you have no idea how much money you can potentially be making right now doing this. I’m booked solid for the rest of the year purely because of this.
Not gonna really be thing long-term. Up front savings vs customer long term retention. The up front savings are what business cares about. So yeah you’ll get some companies who fucked up. Most just double down on the a. I.
What you’re doing is entering the bargain-phase
