    I know this post is more about the committing on LLM “fixes”, but find the other reasons more interesting.

    Similar to the date & time library there are a couple of other things that look easy at a first glance, but get complicated very quickly, because it has so many special cases:

    • lexicographic sorting (different languages sort things differently)
    • Postal address formatting (different standards in different countries, with many different context sensitive rules)
    • string handling

    I’ve been building my own PHP and JavaScript libraries without actually using any existing open-source ones.

    Self-taught, didn’t learn about the fun stuff until recently.

    Now I’m so far behind in technology, I feel outdated.

    I feel like the LLM guy should be the psycho doctor doing unethical experience with the clinic patients…

      At this occasion I think it adds to the insanity. It makes it look like the nurse is a pationt too, with her trying to roll away a normal chair

        Yes but not when it’s something that’s basically just a stock photo. Ill take a big ass watermark across real faces over slop any and everyday.

      This happens when I outsource reading the docs to AI agents.

      wait… there was a function for that? Why did you tell me to build this house of cards

      I too, tried using regex to strip html tags. This was in php with hardly any knowledge of oop.

      A university education really improved me there, since they trained you in Java to a high degree within 20 weeks (alongside stuff like UML). PHP is a fine starter language, but as applications grow, a more native oop approach with build-time validation, really made me a better developer.

        How can you not? Like there are specific tells as the other user pointed out, but aside from that so much AI slop just has this absurd uncanny valley quality that Im actually kinda blown away that other people don’t immediately see it.

          I’m not sure what to tell you. I just don’t see what you do. And I never bother to look at a meme close enough to notice the kind of details the other user pointed out.

            For this picture in particular, there’s something about the screaming guy that’s setting off AI alarm bells to me. You see that sort of facial expression a lot with AI pictures when it’s trying to generate someone yelling or distressed.

            Ironically, the human brain is so good at picking up patterns that after you’ve seen enough AI slop you begin to notice some of the tells for otherwise realistic pictures. That’s not to say that people could discern ALL AI pictures, but I think it is true for most of the lazy, slop pictures that are generated.

                The text is hiding a lot of details, but the nurse is pushing a normal chair, as if it was a wheelchair.

                And the composition gives AI vibes as well. But all of that could also just be because the photo is poorly staged.

        The hands on the guy to the left are fucked. The far one’s toes are tiny. Why is the nurse pushing a regular chair like a wheel chair?

    Tried to do a proper analysis of a bug in homologation that’s preventing our future customer to test the product, while N+3 and N+4 demand twice-daily updates through video call with ten other managers on it. Two weeks of proper madness, that was.

    Stopped the meetings for one fucking day and we had it fixed before 5pm.

    At my last job, there was no planning of work/projects. Like, there was a general plan of “We need feature X by Q3 and here’s what it should do”, but nothing about breaking work down into smaller units or prioritizing different tasks.

    The manager would drop an email: “Hey, can you do …” and that was it. Now it’s another thing to throw down the waterfall. Big surprise, the same bastard would harp about how the project was underperforming!
