11:57:49dreamreal(I think the article's written well, but it ain't short.)
12:08:44GreenResponsepersonally I kill AI with fire wherever I find it. Good thing Firefox has a killswitch for that
12:09:05GreenResponseI hate this AI hype
12:09:41dreamrealThat's dumb and impossible
12:09:47dreamrealbut I get it
12:11:13GreenResponsebut I realise that it’s a godsend for technical people that have problems with articulating their thoughts, pretty much most of the people
12:11:42dreamrealyou're in good company: you're doing the same thing headius did

12:47:04Paradreamreal: fwiw I recommend using Co-Authored-By trailers in commits with some pseudoidentity for LLMs et al. This pairs well with "commit in small pieces, commit often". Of course it's still a human process and most don't even really know how to add commit message trailers but I don't see any better way of doing it at this point beyond some completely hands-off commit authoring process with a
12:47:06Paraseparate diff-by-diff signing process.

12:53:43dreamreali don't see the point
12:53:50dreamrealI mean, I do, but really... why
12:56:07ParaRequirements are in flux, my previous project where my involvement just ended had a LLM authoring policy change where they do want people to clearly highlight which content came from where and I'm happy I don't have to solve that there :)
13:01:24ParaThe trailers is a nifty and underutilized feature IMHO in general, although they're more useful for the reviewed-by and other such metadata which they usually are used to.
13:01:42dreamrealI guess I understand the need for provenance, but even so: what does it DO?
13:01:52ParaIt's a good lightweight solution to red tape.
13:02:09dreamrealif the code works - like, tested, the verification is present - then why does it matter?
13:02:40dreamreal"oh no, that line came from qwen, THAT one from gemma4, THAT one from... oh, it's from Sam, ew."
13:02:59ParaFingerpointing/blame, I'd imagine.
13:03:10ParaHow dare you make mistakes etc.
13:03:17* dreamreal is so overjoyed at being reminded that people are stupid
13:03:34dreamrealI can't wait until the world realizes that I KNOW THIS ALREADY, being stupid myself, and don't need further reminding
13:03:35ParaOr Totally Accurate Stats such as "70% of bugs involved ChatGPT"
13:04:23ParaOr Even More Relevant Stats such as "55% of production critical bugs were reviewed by John Random, fire him!"
13:05:24ParaTBH while I'm the kind of metadata fan who likes this stuff but I can see lots of abuse potential for all these, but alas...
13:05:48dreamreali don't mind the metadata, I guess, I just don't see how it's actually useful
13:05:52dreamrealit can be interesting
13:06:10dreamrealbut to me the metric is "does the code effin' WORK" and "do we know why we can make that assertion"
13:06:37ParaOn that I'd rather use the metadata for adding e.g. CI process marking commits as Tested-By or somesuch.
13:06:46ParaLike, since it's possible, why the hell not.
13:07:01ParaOf course this means hand-over and history rewriting which will make the human part harder.
13:07:23dreamrealWell, tested-by still relies on HITL, because the specs don't necessarily factor in properly
13:07:46ParaIt's better suited for manual testing, sure.
13:08:11ParaAnd in a sense that makes sense even. But then one needs to teach the manual testers how to do it or build a "click here to mark this tested" minitool or whatever...
13:08:26ParaAll doable, and kinda very interesting, but still...yeah I don't know what the point would be :)
13:08:39dreamrealEw, not THAT kind of manual testing
13:08:50dreamrealI mean, that's good, QA people are worth their weight in gold, but ... ew
