Bruegels Fuckbooks posted:The thing that scares me the most about chatgpt is how effortlessly it destroys leetcode/hacker rank questions. I don't envy people trying to do remote interviews of coders post chatgpt. A bot that can effortlessly destroy interview questions but not actually code for poo poo might actually cause companies to finally stop interviewing this way?

My only interesting usage of ChatGPT has been things like "Give me an example of a simple chat server with a websocket in go" and "write me a simple client for that server in react" and it does that fine. My favorite example of it's failings was that when I asked it to use a different library, it replaced the import statement but didn't actually update any code.

My current place not getting me to go through that nonsense was one of the reasons I joined. I had a competing offer which on paper was better, but jumping through dumb exercise hoops, even though I passed them put me off.

If you ask ChatGPT a programming question, it'll give you the wrong answer to a question you didn't ask in seconds, whereas it takes minutes to get the same result from a human being, so clearly it's an improvement.

I've been using GitKraken for years as my git GUI tool of choice and it is one of the best tools out there for doing complex git stuff without having to go down to CLI level, it actually helped me learn and understand the git model better than years of using the CLI could. My reward is that I always get to fix everyone else's merge conflicts when they hold on to a branch for too long

I find the visual tools for git very helpful for understanding wtf is going on. CLI is for fixing the really bad fuckups 😀 I do expect engineers to learn git at a medium level. They don't have to be power users but learn the tool that works best for them, get familiar with the model, and know how to fix their fuckups (which includes knowing to ask for help). They're just doing a disservice to their careers by not.

I didn't understand Git's branching model until I saw it nicely displayed (and what each of my actions was doing) in Gitkraken. Well worth the $30/year IMO.

FlowerRhythmREMIX posted:I have started amending commits more often now, but there is something satisfying about an interactive rebase and using fixup This is actually how I like to use git, if I'm making anything public facing. Lots of dumb little incremental commits, then interactive rebase them into a sensible set of patches that reach individually make sense, compile, contain relevant tests, etc. This way anyone doing a code review can see and discuss a specific set of changes, rather than the entire thing all at once. If no one else will see it, it remains a bunch of small, inconsistent commits with potentially useful messages.

I never used a git GUI and used the CLI for years but I finally gave the built in tools in VSCode a try a couple weeks ago and it's a pretty big step up in terms of seeing what's going on.

I love that this entire (good & useful) digression would have never happened if the developer had just noticed that they were about to change 70 files in their PR when they probably meant to change 3. everytime i’ve been close to messing up is when I see that’s happened. I’m sure there’s a good git command for fixing it, but usually instead I’ll restart my branch from a fresh Main pull and copy over my changes.

A nail gun is just a tool but hand my brother a Ryobi and he's gonna give you a stupid rear end look.... kind of the same look he got when he used the nail gun wrong and nailed his hand to one of his studs. Folks have *thoughts* about things they use on a daily basis.

Let me introduce you to the power and glory of the reflog, which lets you see the hash for commits which may no longer be visible because (e.g.) you amended them, or removed any reference to them, etc.

It is good to note that orphaned commits in the reflog may get deleted after a while depending on your git settings. On Github they are usually not visible (unless the Github PR changelog refers it, like "force push overwrote commit hash [link to orphaned commit]" * ) and, according to some information I read, completely unreferenced commits are automatically deleted within a day or so. If you completely, utterly, fully screw up and remove all local copies of a commit and then force push to Github, supposedly if you make a support ticket within that 24 hour time limit there's a chance they can retrieve your commit for you). * This also means that a force push is not enough to wipe accidentally pushed credentials and the like. Github has a special customer support procedure just for that. These cases tend to be resolved in 10 minutes or so, although they always still recommend you change any credentials that got onto Github.

I tried to get it to produce some JSON test data and it was actually amazing and I could adjust it by saying “make the keys camelcase” or “make the status uppercase”. But then I asked it to “create an array of twenty records like this” and then it started taking one second per character. Still correct output though!

Mega Comrade posted:It's gonna get a lot worse with people using AI to answer questions they don't know the answers to. ChatGPT is banned from Stack Overflow and it's pretty easy to spot the lovely answers that most people generate because it's heavy on general exposition and light on specific answers to a specific question. I've gotten a bunch of folks suspended for using it already. [edit] But Stack Overflow does suck and has sucked for years. I'm a relatively high rep user (~60k) and the gamification of the site rewards asking and answering lovely, easy questions that have already been covered or could easily be answered yourself by reading some documentation and experimenting. I've come across users with as much or more reputation than I have who have asked literally thousands of questions, all of which boil down to "please do my job for me, I'm incompetent". It also penalizes you for downvoting answers -- you lose reputation. I have enough that I don't care, it's a basically unlimited resource because I get hundreds of passive reputation every week just from old answers. But it discourages lovely answers from getting nuked unless they are just egregiously wrong. I barely even participate anymore, just downvote, vote to close "seeking recommendations for off-site resources" (which is the category I've decided easily googleable, well-documented answers fall into). Of the ~10 questions I've asked over the past decade, I've ended up answering almost every single one of them myself because it got zero engagement from the community, because I actually asked hard questions about weird scenarios. Taking an hour to help me out means that's an hour you can't poo poo out 10 low-quality answers to easy questions and get 10x the reward.
