My company block normals.me. Seems like it is a very dangerous website that will steal my credentials 🤣

I use to post on dev.to. Even becomes a moderator, just during a few weeks before being kicked for what I can described as a “One way anti-discrimination rule enforcement”.

But even before AI it started to become slopes of always the same low quality topics. I cannot count the number of “How to push your first git branch” or “How to becomes a 10x developer” article I saw. There was a belief that putting on your CV that you write articles and contribute to open source will makes you more employable. Most of people didn’t understand that “quality” contribution was implied.

After that I switched to medium.com, but the same bullshit article contamination happened. Maybe even worst because there was money involved.

Now I write only on my blog and follow tech news on mastodon.

I use AI for small, atomic, stuff that don’t bring any intellectual value to spend time for.

Like “Typescrit. Find smallest element in an array”. “Python. Simulate keboard event to avoid computer going to sleep mode”. Or copy/past error message because I missed an import and I just want to know which one.

I also use it sometime for well identified algorithm that could be interesting but are not the core of the problem. Like “C#. Clustering algorithm to group points together in a point cloud”.

The generated code is catastrophic in term of performances/memory, but it’s good enough 80% of the time.

But eveytime I tried to use AI for higher level stuff, or that require several interdependant concepts, it ended up into hallucination pit.

• I have this problem
• Cool ! Use solution A !
• Doesn’t work
• My Bad, use solution B !
• Doesn’t exist
• Indeed ! For this problem you should apply method A which will work !
