Holy LLM!

Just do what we all do to dodge this, have the Account management and purchasing abilities sit inside an embedded browser window that opens up from a button push in the app. Yes it adds a little barrier but with Apple Pay it is a very small barrier and the juice is worth the squeeze.
Not sure why poeple don't just put the phone down? We really are the most sheltered gentle generation. Oh no, this app is taking up my time, we need to BAN IT.
If I may ask, does the code produced by LLM follow best practices or patterns? What mental model do you use to understand or comprehend your codebase?
Please know that I am asking as I am curious and do not intend to be disrespectful.
I get your sentiment but a lot of people on this forum forget that a lot of us are just working for the paycheck - I don't owe my company anything.
Do I know the code base like the back of my hand? Nope. Can I confidently talk to how certain functions work? Not a chance.
Can I deploy what the business wants? Yep. Can I throw error logs into LLMs and work out the cause of issues? Mostly.
I get some of you may want to go above and beyond for your company and truly create something beautiful but then guess what - That codebase is theirs. They aren't your family. Get paid and move on
> But now that most code is written by LLMs
Got anything to back up this wild statement?
Me, my team, and colleagues also in software dev are all vibe coding. It's so much faster.

Depends on your definition of works. I've shipped several subscription apps to iPhones/Androids that between them have thousands of users. Is the code good? Probably not. Are there glitches? You bet. But getting them onto the app store took less than a day's work and good money is coming in.

I was sick of my AI hallucinating, so I added in the system prompts "Do not hallucinate". Just a quick glimpse into my prompt engineering mind
As someone who hasn't sold on eBay in a looooong time but was thinking about it for some stuff I haven't been able to sell on Marketplace, their pages and pages of fee structuring were intimidating. What was the breakdown of that $45, if you don't mind sharing?
Sure,
I listed the item as $185.00 + $10.00 shipping.
Order total = $195.00
- Transaction fees = $32.44
- Postage label = $14.65
Postage I can understand.
Tried selling on eBay as a regular Joe lately? Item sold for roughly $190 and I lost $45 in fees - I didn't even have a premium ad or pay for any of the boosting.
No wonder Facebook marketplace has destroyed them
dankwizard commented on Are arrays functions? futhark-lang.org/blog/202... · Posted by u/todsacerdoti
No - An array is a data structure that stores pre-calculated values in memory, whereas a function is executable logic that computes a result only when it is called.
