Programming memes from a multi-decade ✝️ dev on a relaxing side quest before the final boss.

Stop coding by hand, stop learning how code works, AI already knows that man you are wasting time learning anything just have AI do it and learn how to ask it properly. Be the meat proxy you were meant to be

honestly, you can't fault aoc for simply repeating what dario has said over and over and over and this is what the average person thinks too. so you know what, more power to them. I just hope they start by dismantling anthropic.

Mutable const Const cast Const int Int const Whoever was working on const in cpp was high as fuck cause why would you want a CONSTANT to be MUTABLE???

At best it fits a use case of an object that has a const method that does something and the logic is genuinely const. Then you have a mutable member variable that counts how many times you called the object. If the counter variable is not mutable then it cannot be incremented.

Guys I literally have never written a hello world by hand and I know that you can just loop the fucking buffer 💀
I ported the Omarchy screensaver engine (ttfx) from Rust to x86-64 assembler, and it's up to 17x faster!! One-shot translation by Opus 5.5. We keep drilling until the agentic drill bit hits bedrock! github.com/omacom/ttfx/pull/…

Data oriented design is real and leverages how the CPU hardware prefetcher loads cache lines.

He doesn't know anything about rust anyway. However in his experiments Opus 5.5 is able to optimize asm better than Rust. Doesn't that mean that if he uses Opus 5.5, using asm will produce faster code

Because (as the AI generated PR makes clear) the speed up has nothing to do with ASM.

An underdiscussed downside to LLMs is that it empowers ex-engineer managers/C-levels/retirees who had previously checked out to dive back in and shit up the ecosystem. Something about rich GenX guys that gets them completely mind melted by these models

A for loop? More of a while loop.
Dear x engineering team, I understand that Elon Musk is breathing down your neck at this very moment. I understand that you're extremely stressed out. The truth is that you should be. Your app is garbage. Spaces never f****** works. Computers literally code themselves. The data center that your boss owns has a AI inside of it. Literally lives in your boss's data center. It's free. It's actually free. Here's what you should do. I'm going to only say this once. Ask the AI to fix the bugs. Set up a for loop which runs every day that asks the AI to fix the bugs. Give the AI a literal f****** phone. Ask her to use the website. And tell it if it finds any bugs to fix them

It compiles faster and "runs" faster. Fast is not necessarily best for true energy optimization. If I wanted to make a screensaver. I would make a low data rate based system that uses a small framebuffer attached to some basic logic to que pre rendered RAW RBG from a DB in RAM.

He misunderstands what is providing performance and as a result will misinstruct his AI in the future. His understanding is largely tangential to what produced the faster code.
