There’s no alternative yet right?

I’m literally working on a project integrating a major European bank into a major US cloud (not my fault).

Maybe we build a new Twitter or Facebook, but we are still heavily using US cloud

Europe would probably do it over a long term by simply not rolling treasuries or slow sell off.

I think this is a long game to play

He’s right. Dumping is would be dumb. You need to quietly hedge the dollar devaluation first.

On a serious note, it probably wouldn’t have the desired impact.

Even if the whole world ex-US dumped, the US holds the most

I loved python when I was a junior dev. Now I hate it (except for things like computational math). I have to add debug statements to figure out that someone snuck in the wrong type into the code.

They should honestly just wrapper the majority of the code base in rust unsafes and then slowly very slowly migrate sections of the code to rust. This is the right way to do it imo

Will they do that? Nope.

Nobody is truly reviewing that stuff. Would you if you were in that job? Just blame mistakes on AI

Are there any instances of this? It looks promising

Graphene OS for the past year or two. Zero problems and only benefits.

You will need to get used to fiddling with security settings on some apps. For example, banking apps need reduced (meaning standard Android) levels of security. I consider this a feature so I can know which apps to find alternatives for

I find that it basically can’t do decent architecture. My last attempt to use it ended with it using casbin, but then rewriting it’s own authorization framework and trying to use both at the same time 😶.

I think there is a lot of power here, but it needs very heavy guidance and handholding to do it well. Otherwise it makes very stupid intern level decisions

Ideally they’d compare time to write + time to fix. My experience is that if you use test driven development, LLM isn’t too bad. No worse than an intern.

I think it comes down to who is using the LLM. I had a junior dev once “presumably” AI gen a ton of code (broken trash). Then to fix it, they wrapped each function in a try catch block that dropped the error. Unit tests were mocked out to the extent they didn’t test anything.

When I use an LLM, I have tests and hard constraints on the LLM. It isn’t good enough to do everything, but it can generate about 80% of a simple app
