If ChatGpt is telling me how good I am while I code, is that AI assisted coding?

I’ll just say that assuming this policy excludes vulnerability/pen testing like Mozilla with Mythos then this is seriously going to be an extremely naive PR (public relations) only move. Obviously actual programmers not bot laziness for coding is essential for software people rely on and I get allowing vibe coding also destroys programmer (and general LLM user’s) brains but to keep up with our now LLM real world reality you need to be realistic not just virtue signalling for purity.

Nah, it’s really not necessary. I’m senior dev at a large software company you’ve absolutely heard of and I’m just as productive as my colleagues who use LLMs. My tasks usually take fewer PRs as well, since there are fewer bugs that need to be fixed.
I still don’t understand why people are foaming at the mouth about LLMs. They’re fucking awful at writing software.

Of course it’s not necessary. I’m a way-beyond-senior dev who laughed at LLMs up until a few months ago when trusted friends, whose competence is not in question, told me they got good usage out of them.
I decided to challenge my convictions and sat down and took the time to learn how to use LLM assistants (I tried everyting from full vibe coding to manual gatekeeping of suggestions).
Now I use them for my own personal projects, and I’m much more productive (for various reasons - but one is that the initial friction of oh yet another thing I have to learn just to do X is much lower. I have no boss telling me what to do, and I select my projects myself. If they didn’t bring any benefits I wouldn’t use them.

That’s … incredibly stupid. It will also make Flathub completely irrelevant shortly since app developers won’t change what they’re doing just because Flathub throws a hissy fit.

Foss kicking itself in the face. Year of the Linux desktop any day now.
Over confident devs who can’t figure out the delta between entire companies replacing humans and the reality of a force amplifier that’ll turn devs into architecture/operators outside a small niche of actual hardcore coders.

Who’s throwing a hissy fit here? Certainly not flathub but Ai Bros like you.

It’s silly. They even acknowledge that AI-generated code is inevitable and that exceptions will be made. Looks like a (hopefully) temporary measure to give maintainers some space to breath.

Death and taxes are inevitable as well but I don’t see yall being earlier adopters for that

And don’t get me started with taxes.

So basically nothing written in the past 3 years? lol
People have zero goddamn clue how much code is ai assisted (almost everything written since 2023)
AI assistance has been opt out for years. Deal with it.

ai assistance isn’t opt out dipshit, my keyboard doesn’t ask the AI before sending letters to my screen which is literally all that happens when I code. I have never even interacted with AI coding programs, you would have to intentionally download one in order for that.

Ai Bros always insist that its inevitable and that we have to deal with it. You know how we deal with it? By banning the slop that is generated by llms. Now you deal with it.
- 30 days
AI slop is primarily the product of a bunch of amateurs who are fucking around.
No one cares if you ban that, go ahead.
The majority of actual valuable and useful output of AI is shit you will never even care about or interact with in your say to day life.
Basically any video game debeloped in the past couple years is riddled with AI generated code.
Even the devs who made it are likely unaware of this.
At my job I proctor interviews for devs and an enormous amount of devs have zero clue the built in autocomplete in VS Code, for example, is AI.
I tell them this and theyre shocked, “Ive been using AI this whole time?!” Yeah dawg lol…
I gaurentee you the average “real” game on steam with actual downloads and people playing it, has big chunks of its code AI generated.
The most popular IDE for the unity game engine and godot engine are both vs code.
Which means countless devs are out there, right now tab sutocomplete accepting mountains of AI generated code into their games.
They dont know its AI.
Their managers dont know its AI
The people buying their games dont know its AI.
No one even knows or cares.
*That is the reality, and has been for a long while now too.
So yeah… get used to it lol

I wasn’t a fan of flathub or flatpacks but this gives a glimmer of hope that there’s at least a glimmer of hope for it.
Well, I was already sold on flatpaks, but now Flathub is going to be my main repo.

1 monthGood. I hope this puts a dent in the number of new projects that use AI. I also hope Flathub implements a system to clearly flag existing submissions that have used it.

There is no way people will change their workflow because of flathub. They will just not use it anymore.
