My main gripe with “AI coding” is that people present it in highly emotional terms as a fait accompli that will “change everything” instead of it being just another tool (that is one of many) to make software.
Like I saw a SERIOUS post today (not on here) from a tech guy I previously respected that was basically like a 90s infomercial with black and white video of working on a computer (labeled “without AI”) and then over-saturated footage of chilling in the pool or whatever shit (labeled “with AI”).
Not to mention there’s a constant barrage of “enjoy being poor” type bullshit.
This is abusive behavior; it’s emotional manipulation and gaslighting.
It’s cringe, as the kids would say.
I think the underlying LLM technology has use cases that are genuinely useful, for example when making explorative software prototypes, both for backend and frontend stuff.
But it's like a hammer. Useful for nails, useless for anything else.
And you got to ask where the hammer is coming from. Was it made with stolen metal? Forged by exploitative labor? Locked away in a data center so you can only rent the hammer by the hour from some business trying to do a bait and switch?
I'm hoping that the AI landlord industry dies eventually (signs point to this as they won't be able to fulfill the obligations to their investors) and people use locally-run stuff, ethically with open source models (without stolen stuff) and without ridiculous environmental impact in the future.

Working on extending features for Warlock, and this round of features requires a backend web service running in a centralized, controlled environment due to the requirement of privileged access to partner network resources, (aka, they require an API key and prior authorization to access certain data, thus cannot be distributed in an open source project).
SO, since this is a traditional web service, I opted to use the traditional technologies to power it, but wanted to try out Symfony s…

@dawid@social.craftknight.comGdyby istniało narzędzie, które potrafi wystawiać `./functions` tak jak netflify/vercel/cloudeflare - to mój problem by był rozwiązany z ostatniego dnia.

Generic Guides sind 2026 tot. KI fasst jeden "10 Tipps für XYZ"-Artikel besser zusammen als wir ihn schreiben könnten.
Was kein LLM replizieren kann: eigene Daten, interne Fallstudien, echte Meinungen.
Für E-Commerce: Produktdaten, Kundenbewertungsanalysen, Conversion-Insights gehören raus aus dem Backend und rein in den Content. Der einzige Content der 2026 noch trägt, ist der den kein Sprachmodell einfach besser macht.
Einzigartigkeit schlägt Volumen.
