Last night I needed to add a feature to my Dinky Regex command using a new feature of the regex lib. I thought: "Hey I'll let AI do that like all the cool kids on YouTube! What a cluster fuck. First it wouldn't compile due to including the wrong headers, then the code was just wrong and broken. After an hour I deleted it and wrote it myself. Dear Vibe Coders: Rather then spending a lot of time fixing your AI code, why not just learn to fucking program.

Work is nearly completed on bringing 3 important features to the Infrastructure as Code Gradle plugin suite:

- Testing of OpenTofu / Terraform source.

- Publishing of OpenTofu / Terraform modules to a variety of targets, including the official registry process.

- Generation of documentation for OpenTofu / Terraform source sets and modules.

Finally testing and polishing of docs are underway and these features will be in the 2.1 release.

"What if we get an LLM to invent..." I'm gonna stop you right there.

They don't invent. They match patterns and predict tokens. If the pattern's not represented with enough examples in their training data, they can't match it.

They can only solve problems that have been solved.

Using JetBrains' AI Chat for a week now. It's not bad as it can understand context well, but it still gets about 40% completely wrong.

It has been useful at least to procvide ideas on how to approach some code and also to bring me up to speed of things I have not touched for a while.

However, like most LLMs, in the hands of an average or below-average programmer it is a risk to an organisation in terms of maintenance and bugs-in-production.

After being nilled by Monacco in the JPEE 7s final, Andorra the 6th seed for the Rugby Europe Conference 1, beat 1st seed Monacco! Quite a statement.

Sunday is finals day and the question now is: can the men's team do the same as the female team and win the tournament?
