GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier"
-
Doomposting about AI inevitability is only beneficial to AI companies... If your claim is even true. And if it is, we should shame everybody else.
It's not doomposting, it's realistic. LLMs will provide true aids to developers, and already do. They excel at formal languages, that's what they are designed for. I'm not talking about vibe coding, I'm talking formatters, style guides, linters, boilerplates, translation, configuration etc.

We already knew that GOG were going to be looking more seriously at Linux, as covered here previously on GamingOnLinux. However, they're going a step further as noted in their job listing on how "Linux is the next major frontier".
no fucking thanks.
i'd stay with the unofficial clients rather than touch this soon to be slopware. -

You're on a post about Linux, an OS that's grown in popularity thanks to Microsoft ruining Windows with the "true aids" you're promoting here.

Good morning GOG!

Whatever MS bakes into Windows is not what I listed above. Spin up a local LLM trained on your code base and try using it.
-
They use generative AI for assets in their website and require potential devs to use AI in their workflow. Fuck em.
Sounds like a regular software development job where instead of being a Luddite, people use the latest technology for the job.
-
If you want to ditch every software company/vendor that uses LLM code tools, you may want to never touch software ever again.
If your morals and ethics can be changed by inevitability then what's that say about you?
-

What's the opposite of a Luddite? Hey, if you enjoy bending over and letting techbros do with you what they will, don't expect me to provide any lube. Now run along and ask ChatGPT how you should feel about this response.

No thanks AI bro.
I don't buy your evidence-free praise of AI. And I don't buy your No True Scotsman fallacy.

If you think every LLM tool is a product of an over valued tech bro company then what’s that say about you?

Luddites didn't fear technology, they feared for the commoditisation of manual labour and they were dead on right as pauperism followed.

Well I will not share a screencast where a local LLM helps with code completion on a private project. You talk like you're a proficient developer, you can try that on your own. And where is the fallacy?

Anti AI arguments are always good for a laugh. I enjoy using the best tools for my job. Sometimes the best tool for software development is AI. Sometimes AI does a bad job and other tools work best. What does that make me? A software developer, I suppose.

Waiting for this comment lmao

Would you have taken a moral stance against automated telephone switchboards or online shopping?

The referenced job is clearly talking about the current over valued tech bro kind, you buffoon.

We've got studies that show AI makes you feel more productive while you're actually less productive. And all you're offering is a feeling you feel. Get high on your own supply if you want, but don't drag down good companies with your evangelism.

Yeah and typing "make a picture of a hot dog" into a text field makes one an artist...

Yeah if their impact was as negative.
