edition = "2021"

32

u/QuaternionsRoll 21d ago

Oof, my only published crate uses edition 2021 to maximize compatibility 😬

although it’s a <50 line polyfill of an unstable feature with no original documentation and a ~15 word description, so I guess there are signs

u/ao_zame 21d ago

All my published crates use edition 2024 + latest nightly, as god intended

AI when it sees a lifetime: Arc<Mutex<T>>

"i hate rust actually, rewrite my project in c. make no mistake"

Same in every language unfortunately.

u/amarao_san 22d ago

I vibed it in Rust. I. Because of my prompts and my subscription.

tbf i've never said 'i wrote'

u/lincemiope 21d ago

They usually say "I built", even more evocative

u/diegoasecas 21d ago

i do use "i built", i don't see anything wrong with it

3

u/lincemiope 21d ago

No problem at all, but it's been a while since I've started seeing posts titled "I built this tui" and It was AI which built it

I have a need for that. Do publish and share link.

I only say I wrote it when I’m trying to get funded

They will when your slop grenade breaks something and someone has to rewrite it

Clearly you don’t have any skills in that department bc you’re not writing code yourself

u/natalialt 22d ago

Do any of you genuinely enjoy programming

“Anyone still drawing pictures by hand?”

You’re as much a programmer as someone prompting ChatGPT for art is an artist

1

u/ArjixGamer 21d ago

Tbh, most of us are miserable at work because we are forced to work on projects that have no love.

It's like forcing an artist to draw a specific soulless style over and over again, and they can't say no because it's how they make money.

An artist would definitely use gen AI in that context, it's borderline depressive.

u/nakshatriyan 21d ago

So your solution is to slop up everything you do? You stop writing any code at all outside of work too?

2

u/ArjixGamer 21d ago

I basically answered this in the other comment.

-4

u/diegoasecas 21d ago

except code meant to solve a problem is not art

6

u/nakshatriyan 21d ago

And that’s why you will always be a mediocre programmer.

An elegant solution is definitely art.

2

u/ArjixGamer 21d ago

An elegant solution is not what the boss wants, the boss wants a quick solution that won't cause immediate problems, but is ok if it causes problems in 2 months.

1

u/nakshatriyan 21d ago

This is fair. But what does this have to do with coding your own projects in your own time? Why even care about the language you use if you just want a generated solution?

1

u/ArjixGamer 21d ago

It is an addiction.

I don't find it healthy, it ruined the fun of programming for me.

But I can't resist it, I have ADHD and it hits my brain like a drug

I can make 100 times the slop I would have been able to make w/o it.

(yes, I made slop before AI, but I at least was proud of it, can't say that about AI slop)

1

u/nakshatriyan 21d ago

I can sympathize with that. You can still enjoy it. Let the agent code for you at work - who cares about that? But if you want to enjoy programming again you have to do some on your own

-1

u/diegoasecas 21d ago

i'm fine with being a mediocre programmer, i want code to work, not to be elegant. i leave those pursuits for the non-mediocre.

0

u/nakshatriyan 21d ago

Then what’s your point? The original commenter asked if anyone was still coding by hand. My point is there are people who still value the artistry in coding. Enjoy mediocrity.

u/diegoasecas 21d ago

lol do you even work with technology at all

u/nakshatriyan 21d ago

Full time SWE :)

u/ArjixGamer 21d ago

I still write bash by hand at least :sob:
