  • I recently needed to implement some batch processing logic in our code to account for some api level restrictions (the code already pulls from the api in pages and date ranges, but if I specify a date range too wide or a batch that would get too many records back, it gets rejected, so we need to break it down and run the date range in batches). I tell this junior developer what the issue is, and what we need to add to the existing class in our codebase. I follow up with him after a week, and this is what he sends me.

    Boilerplate code from chatgpt that has almost nothing to do with what we discussed. And how can you even give me a whole ‘working’ code without even testing it? He didn’t even clone our original repo and test it as is to understand why we need what we need. AI sure is making programmers dumb.

















  • Screw Walmart. During the storms here in NC, I went there to buy some relief supplies, and it was awesome to see the whole store getting picked apart by people buying supplies to donate. What was definitely not awesome was the only 3 checkout lanes open out of the total 12, because Walmart has a 3 per employee rule and they don’t want to assign enough workers for the checkout lanes, even during times of crisis like this.
