Why????????????

Why do you want devs to lose cognaizance of their own "work" to the point that they have "existential worry"?

Why are people like you trying to drown us all in slop? I bet you could replace your slop pile with a tenth of the lines of clean code, and chances are it'd be less work than you think.

Is it because you're lazy?

Clean code? Fewer lines? Found the intermediate.

Not entirely. Valorant's anti-cheat tries hard to detect DMA cards, which eventually led to one of their largest banwaves. See:

Of course the cheat developers don't sit idle, so this is far from over.

I read this article, unless I missed it Brazilian pixel bots comprised the bulk of the ban wave, with DMA cheaters getting a mention but of unspecified quantities, and could have been swept up in manual and rage hacking bans?

I thought DMA cheats rendered all of these anticheat efforts useless? It feels like the future of anticheat should probably be focused on how to efficiently send player data to clients only when they would be able to interact with them anyway. Or replay moderation?

No, they're not. It's critically important if you're part of an engineering team.

If everyone does their own thing, the codebase rapidly turns to mush and is unreadable.

And you need humans to be able to read it the moment the code actually matters and needs to stand up to adversaries. If you work with money or personal information, someone will want to steal that. Or you may have legal requirements you have to meet.

It matters.

You’ve made a sweeping statement there, there are swathes of teams working in startups still trying to find product market fit. Focusing on quality in these situations is folly, but that’s not even the point. My point is you can ship quality to any standard using an llm, even your standards. If you can’t that’s a skill issue on your part.

Show us the numbers, stop wasting our time. NUMBERS.

Also, why would I ever believe kangaroos exist if I haven't seen any evidence of them? this is a fallacy. You are portraying the healthy skepticism as stupid because you already know kangaroos exist.

PUSH_AX · 2 days ago
What numbers? It doesn’t matter if it’s one or a million, it’s had a positive impact on the velocity of a non zero number of projects. You wrote:

> Two years in and we are waiting to see all you people (who are free of our tunnel vision) fly high with your velocity. I don't see anyone, am I doing something wrong?

Yes is the answer. I could probably put it in front of your face and you’d reject it. You do you. All the best.

No i don't but by your post it seems like you do. Show us, that is all i request.
PUSH_AX · 2 days ago
I have insight into enough code bases to know its a non zero number. Your logic is bizarre, if you’ve never seen a kangaroo would you just believe they don’t exist?

Perhaps I'm misreading the person to whom you're replying, but usefullness, while subjective, isn't typically based on one person's opinion. If enough people agree on the usefullness of something, we as a collective call it "useful".

Perhaps we take the example of a blender. There's enough need to blend/puree/chop food-like-items, that a large group of people agree on the usefullness of a blender. A salad-shooter, while a novel idea, might not be seen as "useful".

Creating software that most folks wouldn't find useful still might be considered "neat" or "cool". But it may not be adding anything to the industry. The fact that someone shipped something quickly doesn't make it any better.

Ultimately, or at least in this discussion, we should decouple the software’s end use from the question of whether it satisfies the creator’s requirements and vision in a safe and robust way. How you get there and what happens after are two different problems.

There are very good reason that code should look a certain way and it comes from years of experience and the fact that code is written once but read and modified much more.

When the first bugs come up you see that the velocity was not god sent and you end up hiring one of the many "LLM code fixer" companies that are poping up like mushrooms.

You’re confusing yoloing code into prod and using ai to increase velocity while ensuring it functions and is safe.

> Why is useful a metric?

"and you realise the code just enables the business it all of a sudden becomes a velocity God send."

If a business is not useful, well, it will fail. So, so much autogenerated code for nothing.

PUSH_AX · 2 days ago
I see, I guess every business I haven’t used personally, because it wasn’t useful to me, has failed…

Usefulness isn’t a good metric for this.

That’s hardly necessary.

Have we seen a noticeably increased amount of newly launched useful apps?

PUSH_AX · 2 days ago
Why is useful a metric? This is about software delivery, what one person deems useful is subjective
