    I’m not sure if it’s what you were implying but without anymore detail, I don’t really see a problem with that.

    It’s kind of the same as having a beer out in the yard while your kid plays? Maybe you’re not directly playing with them but you’re hanging out with them as they play. I’d have been perfectly happy with having that as a kid


  • Its a nullable field, chill. It’s exactly the same as a Linux distro installer asking for your first name for account setup and the moral outrage is genuinely embarrassing

    Edit: not to mention that good system design reduces redundant data. If programs want your birthdate, they’ll either repeatedly ask you or go to a central source. If you don’t want to give out that information, you enter a null value or you put something random. The only difference is now you don’t have to repeatedly do that



  • The list is genuinely stupid and lacks any nuance. See my other comments in this thread but this is sort of thing is where people who are anti-AI are shooting themselves in the foot and making the general public write off any genuine criticism as ridiculous.

    Most of those projects allow AI to be used in the dev process and that’s it. That list includes projects that just document that things like AI line completion and similar can be used but code is still reviewed by at least one skilled human maintainer

    The list combines those projects in with projects that are entirely written (vibe coded in the actual original sense) which just muddies the water on what’s actually problematic and not


  • Exactly, yeah. I actually really like AI for line completion and the occasional use of it for debugging. It really just enhances existing IDE features.

    The problems with it come with large unreviewed chunks of code generated by LLMs being thrown carelessly into a codebase. A developer asking for an AI code review or a developer letting AI complete a line they were likely writing anyway to save time is so far removed from the problem that it just screams mindless anti-hype or overly-confident inexperience by juniors



  • Reviews (as an addition to human reviews) is actually one thing that AI does pretty well. It’s not good for large architectural issues but it can point out nuanced issues in single files that often wouldn’t be caught otherwise

    I keep saying this but painting any use of AI at all as the same as vibe coding just harms the real complaints against it, ESPECIALLY in this case where it’s subtracting from another real issue (the age gating)
