ProgrammingWhy I Won't Use AI To Code Or Code Completion Tools by Kaczynski(op): 8:00pm On May 03, 2025
When I code, I don't use AI and I don't even use code completion, this post is about why not.Let's begin with AI. The reason why I don't use AI, besides from what I will explain in a moment about code completion, is because I have yet to see useful results beyond what is comparable to ripping of code snippets from Stack Overflow. Yes, AI can certainly produce much code, more that snippets, but what it produces is ripped off snippets of code from here and there. Often the code doesn't work or it contains security problems.


AI is hyped up to be something it isn't and it's "stupidity" (you can't really call it stupid, because it cannot be smart to begin with) is concealed behind what appears to be solid and authoritative answers. Still it knows absolutely crap about what it is doing.I am not saying that it's not useful at all. If what you're doing to begin with is copy/pasting code from Stack Overflow or elsewhere, then sure, because Google and other search engines have become so bad, AI can often provide you with relevant answers much faster than you shifting through page after page of useless Google Junk. But then you will reap what you sow.


Whenever you get a code snippet from an AI, try to search the Internet for that piece of code, you will fairly quickly discover where it was ripped off from and why it's generally a bad idea to use such code.But even if AI truly did produce really good code, I would not use it for the same reason that I don't use code completion.



Back in the days, before the mobile phone was widely used, and even a short while after that, we used to have personal phone books. This could be a small notebook, or even a simple piece of paper. On that we would put all the important phone numbers of family, friends, co-workers, etc.When we needed to call someone, and they had a new phone number, we looked it up in the book, then punched in the numbers and called the person. When we had done that a couple of times, the number stuck and we no longer needed to look.

Now, with modern phones and their build in phone books, it's so easy to call people without typing in their phone number that we just don't bother anymore. The result is that we cannot even remember the numbers of our parents or children.Code completion works the same way. It's convenient and it saves you time, just like the build in phone book, but it makes you less proficient at coding.



When you code without AI and without code completion you eventually remember much by heart and you become good at looking things up directly in the relevant documentation, and this is really important.



don't assume that I am saying that you should never use tools that will help you get the job done, that's not what I am saying. Using a calculator to do math is often easier and faster than doing the all the calculations manually, and that can be really helpful. But simply punching in the numbers without understanding the math will never make you a good mathematician.

ProgrammingRe: Early to Early-mid career VoIP Professional by Kaczynski: 10:45am On May 02, 2025
airsaylongcome:
It's mostly networking. It's niche I know but part of the aim is to get readers interested. An L1 VoIP tech with zero experience will be earning around $17.50/hr for a US business. That's for someone with 0 years of experience and just basic idea about it o. A good self starter would be doing around $30/hr within 3 years with self development. And that's not hard stuff doing crazy UI/UX or CSS stuff o. I literally got my first role after watching a 30-part YouTube tutorial. From zero knowledge o. Someone with some networking background and a bit of drive could be starting at around $20/hr. It's just a bit frustrating having almost no one interested in it. I was on a call with an African-American in the space and the first thing he said was "THANK GOD you are black!" Said he's tired of attending VoIP conferences across the world and being almost the only black person in the room. He's almost always only the black speaker at these conferences.

That's for just tech. Devs could be building VoIP apps for mobile/desktop. Linphone already has any interested dev half the way. Add WebRTC using SIP.js or JSSIP and people here could be playing in that space

Is asm a reference to Assembly language? RISC or CISC?
more nigerian are in IT just for money, that's why there's influx of nigerians in tech sectors like front end , web dev , product design
you hardly see any Nigerian or probably just one or two in fields like embedded systems, parallel computing, game dev , operating systems ( nigerians are scarce here)



assembly. there are lots for different machines. used to pay very well in the 90s.
for me it's motorola assembly. kinda simple because of easy mnemonics and lots of resources

Many converter from native language to ASM . Many companies are using AI for the conversion.
AI exaggerate a lot


i doubt Chevron IT dept would be using AI in their modules

you are in a niche field , its gonna be hard finding nigerians doing such ??



most are abroad, very few are probably in embedded systems or networking


I'm in a niche field myself but in graphics mainly heavy maths shit smiley

RomanceRe: What Is The Right Age To Get Married? by Kaczynski: 5:25am On May 02, 2025
pocohantas:
There is no specific age once you are old enough. No one size fits all as our lives and paths are different. I recommend when you find someone who shares same marriage and family values with you. You two must be ready to fund these values, emotionally, physically and financially.

For a set of people who tend to despise their spouses, Nigerians are so obsessed with WHEN, rather than the quality of their marriages.

Marriage is not just something you tick from your bucket list.

This movie is a must watch, I guess it will only be the movie that will take me to the cinema this year.

If an OG like Tom Cruise can vouch for the movie then it's a masterpiece.

It's also a box office success, congratulations to Mike and Coogler.
