Please don’t upvote this person, I think they’re a bot. The libs use AWS SDK internally and claim 90% performance boost over AWS SDK, and the person explains it as “you can write less verbose code so development time is shorter”

The point is not a few less milliseconds, it’s many hours of reduced development for people implementing DynamoDB

So you’re comparing claimed performance (execution) gains to development time? Yeah, that makes sense.

I think you’re a bot.

I have a great idea.

Why don’t you all move to Russia?

Definitely outside of Moscow and Pitersburg. Preferably newly “liberated” territories.

I’m not saying Ukraine is good, or USA, or whatever, but I honestly wonder why you have not moved yet.

Thank you.

How did you check the performance though for the ORM? You claim it’s faster that AWS SDK, which literally impossible, as you are using AWS SDK to power it.

Out of curiosity, what do they do and did you use agentic approach or prompt and then copy?

Great example.

Wouldn’t getchar() be more appropriate here? Last time I used C it was 16 years ago.

let ret = someCondition ? expensiveOperation() : otherOperation() 

?

Well, I don’t know your use case well enough, but I guess you might have perfect reason for that behavior.

One thing that comes to my mind is the old Try in C#

bool parsedSuccessfully = int.TryParse("123", out int result);

But I guess more popular approach would be to use Error as Values, right?

E.g. something like this

Outcome<Exception, Int> result = int.TotallyNewParse("123");

To be honest I always disliked variable declaration without value assignment, so to me both options suck. :)

Wait until you learn about transducers (Are they in Go? If not natively, someone definitely ported them) and the abominations fp people code with them.

Not really, no.

Your though process is wrong. You need to backpedal it. One bad apple doesn’t mean we should burn the orchard. And you can perverse anything good into an abomination.

How you want to do that without unions? Dude, saying out loud

[I wonder] if any union is worth it if that’s the risk of what they could become.

Is not helping anyone.

Take an L and do better.

With that mindset, why bother living or leaving the bed? Imagine the worst day you could have, why risk it?

My point is “summarizing over all of those” and “poisoning”.

Source of category 1 says cheese is made from XYZ and yellow

Source from category 2 confirms 1 in different words and adds that it has holes

Source from category 3 confirms 2 and adds that its also blue, not only yellow

Source 4 talks about blue cheese only

Poisoning would mean that in the summary cheese is yellow with blue holes.

So scrapping “popular websites” plus “someone said this is a good source for topic X” plus wikipedia? And summarizing over them all? That sounds like a very bad idea, because it’s very fragile to poisoning?

Size and noise I guess.

Yeah, can’t find anything on dotnet getting poisoned by AI slop, so until you link it, I’ll assume you’re lying.

Everything from this

So we have conventions as we make enterprise software

to this

forget the file name now ).

Is a convention based code generation. It’s older than my tenure, so it’s older than 15 years. Having convention-based code generation is something that you do as a part of DRY rule, so somewhere after you’ve noticed that you’ve done it three times. The real boom for it was when the current hype that was supposed to get rid of programming jobs were no-code/low-code solutions.

Or I can write a comment like // Filtered clients

This is either reusable code composition or again convention based code generation.

The same for sorting things, sure I know how to sort arrays but why should I waste brain capacity on this when LLM is more than capable.

This is DRY. Create once sortBy(x=> x.name) and then import it whenever you need it.

. If I don’t know how to do something, like recently I need to integrate an app with Sage using Intracct SDK and I have no fucking idea, so I’ll get the LLM to show me how do I get Reporting Periods, Nominals, Transactions etc. then I’ll use what I learn in a console app to play around and work on getting and setting data. Then I’m ready to implement into the product.

Fair. POC is the only part where I could maybe see some gain in my use cases.

play around […] Then I’m ready to implement into the product.

Be cautious about this approach though. Usually just playing with the thing will make you a beginner with it, so usually it’s a good approach to read the documentation/manual and see where the bodies are buried.

My boss charges £2000-2500 an hour

First class grifter, respect.

Like many times I asked him stuff in passing and responses just blow me away and sometimes I just have to accept dude is way smarter than me and I’ll just never get certain concepts.

To me that’s a sign of a bad teacher. He might be a very good engineer, but not being able to tailor your responses to your junior - to me shows a lack of leadership skills.

Edit: if this is effort to read then I’ve added a reply to it with it fixed by an LLM to be more coherent and palatable

Bejesus, man, I’m not stupid, don’t feed me slop. I care about you, not about the translator dumbing you down to be a palatable to mediocre people.

Man, I wish LLMs were more useful to me than line completion tool we already had in normal languages in normal IDEs.

So far everything I’ve seen it do even with agentic approaches, is just not covering my use cases.

At best I can have it generate some correct-ish terraform boilerplate. Or writing mediocre code in languages I have to use once in blue moon, that I still then have to correct. Cursorrules are meh.

Me: fintech, 15y of exp.

On the other hand I can imagine it creating some bullshit boilerplate in companies that require bullshit boilerplate.

Btw I don’t think code throughput is what distinguished Junior from Dev. I rather think it’s realizing the steep decline in “Doner-Kebab” effect :)

Thanks dude. I’m not sure what I’m looking at though. As I mentioned in the top post, I’m new to this and it’s not my hobby.

You listed hardware, but gave no context how good it is for my needs - I think that’s why you got downvoted.
