Excellent thread on what "LLM-assisted" testing actually does, with context from rsync replacing its test suite with a poorly vibe-ported Python version (as regressions roll in)

More generally, the primary product of LLMs is deception: the unfounded belief by the insufficiently-critical observer that the task has been performed. From vibe-coders to user communities, managers, and investors, there are many targets of the deception. Many are playing along for their own self-interested reasons (e.g, executives need investor confidence more than they need a product). And many feel hit when peers and communities see through it.

I have a very close friend in the U.S that is currently working a job where they are asked to do AI slop all day, every day, and they want out because it is depressing the hell out of them.

Super talented engineer, the kind of person that loves Clojure, 10/10 would recommend. If anyone knows of any open roles or would like to get in touch to commiserate, please shoot me a DM!

I just made a $10 donation to Signal. It's not a lot, but I'm sure the Devs appreciate anything. I think you should to, if you use it regularly.
