Just wanna say thanks for posting something OC and interesting here. All of the other things I've seen have been shitty "memes" that should've stayed on Facebook.

I used the wrong lugs on the OEM winter wheels on my RSX. At first I didn't know any better (conical vs ball seat), but once the damage had been done I kept using them. The OEM wheels were already fairly rough when I bought the car. Oops, but at least I know better now, and at least I was doin' better than this guy.

I don't want to fight the biking horde, I just want to be a gearhead.

I agree with a lot of what the Fuck Cars community has to say (the name sucks though). Cars are often not the best solution. Good public transit means only the people who want to drive are on the road, which means less morons. Oh no - they might shut down some city streets, the worst place to drive anyways.

Cars are loud, it's a fact. As a gearhead, I don't like generic road noise. Cool engines with tasteful exhausts? Yeah. A corolla driving past making nothing but tire noise? Nah. I'll take a quiet downtown please.

Being a public transit/bicycling enthusiast and a car enthusiast is very possible. Public transit and good bike infrastructure make driving better, and no one should be forced to drive if they don't want to, just like you aren't being forced to take public transit or bike.

This community is very odd. The only posts I see getting traction on here are awful things like this. This post isn't for car enthusiasts, this is for Facebook.

I dunno, I really appreciate the percentage match as compared to a star rating

/s. Maybe the most /s I've ever been on the internet. I hate it so much.

[–] Joelk111 2 points 8 months ago

Oh absolutely, I agree with that comparison. That said, I'd take an IDE over AI 11 times out of 10.

I understand how it works, but that's irrelevant if it does work as a tool in my toolkit. I'm also not relying on the LLM, I'm taking it with a massive grain of salt. It usually gets most of the way there, and I have to fix issues or have it revise the code. For simple stuff that'd be busy work for me, it does pretty well.

It would be my fuck up if it fucks up, and I don't catch it. I'm not putting code it writes directly into production, I'm not stupid.

That's an interesting anecdote. Usually my code sorta works and I just have to debug it a little bit, and it's way faster to get to a viable starting point that starting from scratch.

Often times my issue is unknown by it when debugging though, but sometimes it helps to find stupid mistakes.

I'd probably give it a 50% success rate, but I'll take the help.

Tell that to the code I have it write and debug daily. I was skeptical at first, but it's been a huge help for that, as well s learning new (development) languages.

These are alternatives? This is essentially a list of software that I use.

Not a day goes by where I don't use our company's internal LLM instance to generate or debug some code. It isn't due to burnout, it's due to convenience.

Yeah, I do the same on the occasion that I post. Doesn't solve the problem, at least hasn't yet.
