Not really. The point is not to search for something specific, but rather get a bigger context for the thing you’re trying to understand. AI tools will take your prompt and create keywords to grep the codebase, then analyze the results and give you an overview.

It’s not “find x” and then the AI just does “grep x”. It’s more like “where do susbcribed users get redirected when logging with Google OAuth” and the AI does “grep google|oauth|isSubscriber” and from the 100s of results give you an overview of specific lines of code which are responsible for that chain of events.

I could definitely do that myself (and have, for many years), but this is just faster and easier.

Finally a voice of reason. My work “mandates” the use of AI, but in reality they just bought everyone subscriptions and it’s up to you how you use it. I’ve found it to be irreplaceable for understanding our giant legacy codebase. I’d rather ask it to grep the codebase a few times and get an answer in 5 minutes than spend 10x the amount of time looking through the code for function calls, definitions, conditional blocks etc. It’s not perfect, but it helps tremendously.

The oil prices are affecting us in Europe too. Gas is getting wayyy more expensive. My car also isn’t very fuel-efficient…

And I think this is wonderful news if it teaches that fuckface a valuable lesson.

I read it and found it rather revealing. Some of the ideas sound obvious in retrospect, but hearing them laid out like that helps. It was quite funny too.

“oi, you got a loicense for waging war?”

He might even get blasted

Apparently I’m a “matchmaker” which is a fancy term for Tinder for rich people.

nothing ever happens

Ignoring the AI going haywire for a bit - what is that feature request? I seriously can’t wrap my head around it. What even is the point it’s trying to make?

Throwing a Leica like that shows commitment!
