Meme Monday!

Today's cover image comes from last week's thread.

DEV is an inclusive space! Humor in poor taste will be downvoted by mods.

Let's start the convo with an awful AI-generated meme based on today's cover image.

444?

This one is basically the same but no actual joke.

I believe the time spendings would be more or less the same though, at least if you want to make the app work as expected... The only benefit being that you won't write the actual code yourself... But the feeling of self-stupidity in the end would level this up...

Honestly, it's still faster. You just have to drag the AI along by a leash and make sure it behaves. If you let them go wild on your code you'll get buried in spaghetti in no time, but if you make it carefully craft each patch to do exactly what you want and fit your architecture, then you can bang out code amazingly fast. Just never let the AI go down it's "total solution" rabbit hole and you'll be fine.

I look at it like having an intern do the work. They have an idea how it could be implemented and are so eager to present it that they don't factor in HOW it should be implemented. But with AI you don't have to wait 8 hours for the patch to be done just to have to tell them to do it all over again because they ignored a key requirement or completely missed and gaping hole in their logic. After a couple rounds of refinement, the results can be pretty decent, but this method kind of relies on the "organic" dev to have a pretty good head on their meat-sack body.

My new prompt in copilot instructions seems to have made a drastic improvement:

"Be surgical in your suggested changes. Avoid 'total solutions' when working with an existing codebase."

Also, using the #codebase and #changes tags are key to not steamrolling your working features.

Me: Hey AI, fix this error
AI: Here is the fixed code
Me: It broke
AI: Here is the fixed code
Me: That code broke

10 Hours later...

AI: Here is the fixed code

Real talk, if you are developing your own backend, you can simply allow certain origins to access your API, by having the Access-Control-* headers setup correctly. (that's why the header is called access control allow origin). MDN Docs

However, if you are trying to fetch resources from a server you don't control (meaning you can't add the headers), you can just relay the request through a backend, since CORS only exists in the browser.

This is known as a CORS proxy, there are free ones listed here. Or, if you prefer a hosted CORS proxy solution, you can use Corsfix.

I’ve heard this before, why don’t people like him? Just curious that’s all 🙂

All he covers is sensationalism, no actual substance to the work. Essentially represents what is wrong with media today - focusing more on clicks/views rather than content.

Look at the last few video titles. The one about firefox is so vile I cannot even begin to describe it. "Firefox just gave up on privacy" - when they already clarified they did not change anything.
In my eyes saying such a statement about one of the biggest open source leaders without verification is… irresponsible.

Plus 90% of his videos is reading out an article word for word without any opinions to discuss. Personally I don't see any value in that content, but I guess somehow people do watch that.

I see where you’re coming from, do you think the reason might be the mass production of content, news you name it, that have something to with it? Personally I don’t recall anyone that does as much as Theo, in regards to the range of content from front to backend. He feels like a more active version of Fireship.
