  • Yeah that’s one of the major issues I have with it. It gives people a way to take their responsibilities, delegate it to an AI, and wash their hands of the inevitable subpar result. Not even just in programming, I think over time we’re going to see more and more metrics replaced with AI scores and businesses escaping liability by blaming it on those AI decisions.

    Back in the realm of programming, I’m seeing more and more often people “saving time” by trying to use GPT to do the first 90% but then just not doing the last 90% at all that GPT couldn’t do.


  • Not too surprised. I know PHP has a reputation these days of being old and crufty but at the same time there hasn’t really been a killer replacement yet for the same use cases where PHP is/was used. React and Vue are all the rage for frontend work, but their paradigm is all about single page apps which is a bit limiting for something on the scale of Kbin. Other backend frameworks like Django tend to be fairly opinionated and lock you into developing in a certain way without providing a large enough benefit to make it worth it.

    IDK maybe there are better frameworks that I just haven’t heard of. But whenever I go to start personal projects, the options seem to be Express, Flask, or PHP, all of which have their own tradeoffs. Personally I lean more towards Express or Flask but it’s not surprising to see people stick with PHP.
