No no no it's speed at all costs. Sure. I'm writing junk but the speed of what I'm doing is *impressive* You don't understand.

> I'm a good programmer, and it speeds up my work a lot,

Whenever I see this arguement, I'm reminded that most programmers don't know what they do for work

Technically it would classify as a real honeypot site I'd think

8 bit themed web games

I thought of this as I like that style of games! Honestly no idea where to start though, never attempted to work with anything games related. I think licensing them would be pretty expensive?

I'm interested in how you're probing for them?

I haven't needed to change jobs but I'm worried that one day I'll have to

[hnthrowaway0315 → drekipus]

Just ask along the line "Do you have someone from FAANG as a director/VP? Because I have worked with a few and really loved the learning process" and do a bit of research once you know the name of the hiring manager.

> If that was the case, code completion and templating would have been a revolutionary, world changing development in the field.

And yet this is "AI is world changing, look at how fast it can change code!"

> So while you still try to navigate through files, others already have features out.

Your argument is "it can also read code faster too" - but it doesn't have the same tacit knowledge within the codebase. Documentation and comments can be wrong sometimes. Names are poorly chosen

That's the thing about reviews: the implementor doesn't know what's needed for the feature, but the reviewer now needs to. The latter can't trust the former anymore.

/Explain is constantly wrong. /Plan is constantly over engineered. /Tests are constantly fragile

The only benefit AI has produced to existing codebase is now people care a lot more about getting documentation right and adding little snippet/how-tos called "skills" or whatever.
