My first thoughts on #GPT-5 as a coding assistant: It's one of the worst models in basic mode, but one of the best (if not the best) in 'thinking mode.' Of course, it's nowhere near 'PHD level' or 'replacing programmers'

All this talk of "PHD level" and "replacing programmers" with #GPT-5 made me realize that the biggest issue with these models isn't their own hallucinations—it's their creators'.

As a programmer, I've always had a "puzzle-solver" drive. My new dev challenge saw AI bots (DeepSeek, ChatGPT, Kimi) push me. Confident but often wrong, they amplified my "rabbit holes," costing me sleep and days. Vital warning: AI can supercharge burnout for programmers. #Programming #AI #LLM #Code

No chance for a medium or small e-shop to be referenced in "AI Mode" especially for product searches. What will happen if it becomes the default option in Google search ? In such cases adding content in a way that "AI Mode" wants to digest is unpaid labor contributing solely to Google's revenue.

In the line of code, z = x++ + ++y, what does z equals? The correct response should be been "getting fired." While I will not argue against knowing the difference between post and pre increment, it is far more important to understand how to write readable, maintainable code. #programming

I have to build a test for #WebTransport from an SPA in a Shared Worker that connects to nginx → (Linux socket) #Node.js server → (Linux socket) Tomcat #Java app and back. I hope someday AI will be ready to do it for me (for test cases, not for production, of course) in fewer than 50 interactions.

I believe that now anyone can see that CEOs of American tech companies exist in a quantum state. Their helicity -left or right- remains indeterminate until a 'measurement' is taken. And that measurement is in their own pockets.

VSCode: "Text editor with IDE aspirations" , that is funny if not sad for new programmers. #Java , #PHP #C++ #JS #IDE

Wow , Oracle really hates Java programmers 'String Templates were removed in Java 23 due to design considerations and are not present in Java 24' #Java #Java24 #Oracle

copy paste from DeepSeek: "Ideas should fight. People should not.
If an AI can model that, maybe humans can too." #AI , #future, #optimism

2/2: Of course that should be done in one minute in both , BUT none of them resorted to name calling :) #AI #Hash #DeepSeek #ChatGPT

1/2: I spent 3 hours debating DeepSeek and ChatGPT on why you should hash passwords client-side (before sending to the server) without skipping proper server-side hashing. ChatGPT conceded after 1 hour of invalid arguments. DeepSeek took 3 hours to realize its objections didn’t hold up. #AI #Hash
