Let's see if anyone on Bluesky / the ATmosphere can say more https://bsky.app/profile/dustyweb.bsky.social/post/3mg6qipl6a22o

[stefan@gardenstate.social]

@cwebber everyone I know at startups have given in and use it a lot these days. I resist for a long time but recently felt it was either get on board or find a new place to work.

[pjohanneson@mstdn.ca]

@cwebber wait wait, the stylng system is called ALF?

Is that because of the legendary Alf Hog Incident? It has to be, right?

[shapr@recurse.social]

@cwebber feels like sparkling technical debt to me. I predict the next few years will be full of technical cleanups for people who can write their own code without LLMs.

[cwebber@social.coop]

Example: https://bsky.app/profile/why.bsky.team/post/3meomclcfss2w

> Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff.
>
> In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

@cwebber
thanks for yet another reason to avoid bluesky

[floralia@girlcock.club]

@cwebber I have always hated him.

[floralia@girlcock.club]

@cwebber He's the same dev who said it was impossible to prevent users from putting racial slurs in their handles.

[64kb@icosahedron.website]

@cwebber technical debt will be off the scale in no time.

[ryanrandall@hcommons.social]

@cwebber Earnest and also deeply befuddled question:

Do you happen to know if this "Why" is the same "Why" who wrote "Why's? (Poignant) Guide to Ruby"?

(Seems very unlikely to be the same person—but I'm so out of the loop that this name confusion also feels like when people are excitedly talking about the Swedish metal band "Ghost" but I mistakenly think they're excitedly talking about the Japanese experimental psych-folk band "Ghost".)

[cwebber@social.coop]

@ryanrandall it's whyrusleeping

[cwebber@social.coop]

@ryanrandall https://github.com/whyrusleeping

pretty sure not the Ruby "Why" but I don't know for sure

[ryanrandall@hcommons.social]

@cwebber Thank you Christine!

[erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net]

@cwebber @ryanrandall My memory is that why_ said goodbye and disappeared one day and so we can’t know for sure but it’s unlikely (and if they are the same person, well, they don’t want to be connected)

[irelephant@app.wafrn.net]

Atproto is centralized because every dev there seems to rely unhealthy on claude

[gnuxie@social.applied-langua.ge]

@cwebber all of the "ethical" startup types are doing it

[brad@m.toad.host]

@ryanrandall I honestly thought I was the only person on earth going through that specific Ghost/Ghost confusion

[cwebber@social.coop]

I have this suspicion that the ATproto stack, at least the stuff from Bluesky, is heading towards "majority-vibecoded" but that's mostly just from seeing a lot of posts from the Bluesky eng team rather than me having spent much time in the codebase

Why is def hugely responsible for Bluesky/ATProto's design and if *he's* mostly letting Claude write 99% of his code, the rest of the eng team is likely to be heading in that direction too?

[freya@chaosfem.tw]

@cwebber that seems very bsky

[andymoose@fedi.aiga.rocks]

@cwebber @kkarhan The most disappointing thing about AI (in the software development space) is how quickly and gleefully so-called senior engineers abandoned their craft for vibe coding.
