Google I/O for those that didn't watch.

Anthropic's Claude Code's full source code leaked. Claude is seen by many to be the best coding LLM on the market with Anthropic proudly stating that Claude Code itself is mostly written by the LLM.

Now this sounds good as long as nobody can see the code which is quite the trash fire. Detecting "code sentiment" via regular expressions, variable and functions names containing prompt parts trying to influence the bot, a completely intransparent mess of a control flow that makes actual maintenance and debugging functionally impossible and the prompts ... of the prompts. All the begging and pleading to the chatbot not to do this or not to do that or please to do this.

It is fascinating but it is as far away from actual engineering as drunkenly pissing your name in the snow. Dunno what you call the people prompting software at Anthropic but "engineer" is not it.

Now it is fun to look at the currently hyped product striped bare and showing its pathetic quality but that is the future of software if we let those companies continue to undermine every good practice software engineering has tried establishing.

The software we have to use will be bad, insecure, unmaintainable, expensive with nobody having the skills or resources to build something better. As I wrote a few months ago: LLM based software production is equivalent to saying that fast fashion should be the only way to produce clothing. A tragic degeneration of the quality of the artefacts we rely on build for maximum profit on the backs of people in countries from the global majority.

Security conference talks fall into two categories
* we designed a distributed entropy siphon to perform a black-box hypervisor side channel escape and chain-load a persistent rootkit into the CPU cache
* we looked behind the sofa and found an entire industry of products/services that have made no attempt at security at all and are therefore vulnerable to the most basic issues that we've been finding in everything for the past 30 years, and no-one else had bothered to look.

If anyone's interested, here's a 20% discount coupon for a #JetBrains #Phpstorm individual license.

Enjoy! :)

@daniebeler I read somewhere that you use #YunoHost to host your own Pixelfed instance. I'm also considering hosting my own Mastodon (+ possibly Pixelfed) instance myself.

Can you recommend YunoHost? Is there anything special to look out for?

Property hooks is the first PHP feature where static analysis is a must. It's so easy to shoot yourself in the foot.

Here's a property with a set hook that does not actually assign value to the property which is suspicious.

PHPStan will report it as an error:

Just two days to go until #SymfonyCon in #Vienna, and even less until #SuluTouch!
Excited for my first two in-person conferences — can't wait. 🙌

Looking forward to meeting amazing folks from the #PHP, #Symfony, #Sulu, and #Sylius communities! 🚀

My first contribution to #Symfony just got merged!

And just in time before the bugfix EOL of Symfony 5.4 so that even older LTS projects can benefit from it. 🥳
