  • Both are true.

    1. Yes, they hallucinate. For coding, especially when they don’t have the latest documentation, they just invent APIs and methods that don’t exist.
    2. They also take jobs. They pretty much eliminate entry-level programmers (making the same mistakes while being cheaper and faster).
    3. AI-generated code bases are not maintainable in the long run. They don’t reliably reuse methods, only fix the surface bugs, not fundamental problems, causing code base bloating and, as we all know, more code == more bugs.
    4. Management uses Claude code for their small projects and is convinced that it can replace all programmers for all projects, which is a bias they don’t recognize.

    Is it a bubble? Yes. Is it a fluke? Welllllllll, not entirely. It does increase productivity, given enough training, learning its advantages and limitations.

    Just a reminder, there is 0 mainstream CAD software native to Linux. MAYBE you can get one of the mainstream software working on Linux. Or browser solutions like Onshape or TinkerCAD.

    If you do programming and don’t want to go through hoops of containers and sandboxes, avoid immutable OS like Bazzite.

    If you want to use your computer to finish projects, not starting a new project, avoid arch-based.

    If you want “power user features” like right-clicking on a folder to open a terminal, avoid GNOME.

    Your GPU is borderline getting dropped by official Nvidia driver btw.
