there are people who attempt to distinguish AI-assisted autocomplete from substantially AI-assisted code from raw braindead Gas Town vibe coding

this is not a useful distinction as they *all* end up at the third one

you can tell when they start posting the *same* hype phrases all the others use

there is no moderation on the krokodil advocacy train

@davidgerard there are people who as soon as you say ban LLM contributions tell you you can't have autocomplete then https://social.treehouse.systems/@dysfun/116178136908957771

@dysfun
I think that some people just don't get why "deterministic" is a very important property of a tool.

That some of the people not getting it are programmers boggles the mind.

@iinavpov @dysfun @davidgerard if you actually dealt with modern "programmers" you would not be surprised at all. Modern "engineers" - who are very much not - insist all things must be "idempotent!"
None of them can define it correctly. They simply insist that systems must never ever change from a defined state, and if it does, it must be destroyed and recreated. And if the chosen tool cannot do something, then that thing is not possible to be "idempotent."
