Does anyone know what they are doing with context data send to their system? Could only find that the saas version had some audit, but didn’t know that term.

It sounds interesting enough to try it in day to day work, but we can’t use most AI tools so far as it violates our company rules when we send parts of the code base as context.

Really need to speak to our lawyer again about this…

Well I hope it’s ai bros haha.

I kinda feel sad about this whole ai tooling. For me programming was always more like art. But this gets lost now with all the ai stuff.

I sound like an old man yelling at clouds.

It’s the same way for me. I don’t know if my work is this trivial or I’m just “good enough” at it, but it takes me much longer to prompt the chat to get what I want than it takes me to just write it myself.

I honestly kinda feel like I’m using this ai stuff wrong, but outside of generating some basic unit tests and a little better auto complete it feels kinda useless in my day to day work.

I see it as a win, I love refactoring bad code . Just feels so nice afterwards.

Especially when you can remove thousands of lines of duplicated ui code.

That’s so much better than writing new code

But who decides that? If the person who requested it can do this, you only need a friend to abuse the system and give each other a few extra points.

Maybe a open point history could help with this and users moderate themselves with this.

Yeah that’s definitely a possibility. It’s really a tricky topic to build a review community. One could try other approaches like dedicated volunteer reviewers. But if you look at exorcism, that will become hard to manage for languages with huge demand.

A system where everyone also needs to review is definitely better. Especially since everyone also learns reading other peoples code.

True, it’s not a fleshed out idea haha. But starting with a few points would work.

Could actually be a cool in it self, wish I had time for something like that.

Would love something like this, but it’s very hard to get such a community working. Most of the time there will be way more people wanting a review of their code than people wanting to put in the work and review something.

Maybe some kind of point system could work. Like one needs to review at least two times before you can get your work reviewed.

Have you considered buying a used thin client / mini PC?

Since the Orange Pi 5 sounded interesting, I checked it out and it’s rather expensive. Well at least for me.

I found it from 180 to 200 Euro for the 8GB version. An used thin client or mini PC can be bought for half the price and most of the time it comes with 256gb storage included.

The extra cost for energy should be less than what you might be paying extra for the Orange Pi plus storage.

Thanks for your answer.

It’s a 30 year old swiss army knife, and it shows.

There is a lot of improvementsn happening in the Java space , so that might change over the next years.

It’s better by every metric and it’s a lot easier to manage your infrastructure (just a single binary file with no file or environmental dependencies; it doesn’t get any more straightforward than that.)

With these new native builds you also get a single binary file as far as I know ( I’m still kinda new to Java) and much better startup times. So today Java might perform a little better in this comparison.

But I take it as a good chance for getting a chance to introduce go as a language.

Mostly intellij ultimate, and sometimes VSCode as jetbrains Vue Support is not as good as the official plugin for VSCode.

It’s really weird they don’t want to show type errors inside the template, but whatever.

Other than that, I try to integrate AI assistants into my workflow. Currently trying out Cody, which works good so far, but I think without the sourcegraph integration it can’t show it’s full potential. But 50k$ seems a little expensive for my company haha

Probably typescript, it makes me rather productive and nowadays you can use it for pretty much anything. Even if it’s more often than not the optimal solution, it gets the job done

Other than that I’m interested in checking out go and rust, but unfortunately family life + trying to bootstrap isn’t giving me much time outside my day job to toy with those.

Curious about the tests you made with java and go. Did you test classic JVM or the new native builds?

We are currently using mainly java with some node sprinkled in there, but I try to move some thinks we have from K8 pods into lambdas as it doesn’t make sense having it running 24/7. One of my coworkers often looked for a reason /place to introduce go. So might be helpful info for him haha.

Ah that looks awesome. Definitely gonna try that out. Thanks for sharing

Yeah it’s crazy, I live in a more rural area around Hamburg but have to commute to Hamburg from time to time. It’s always weird, as soon I enter the city the 4 / 5G just becomes super slow…

God, and I pay 45€ for 250 Mbit down and 50 up… Germany is so expensive in this regard. Could get 1Gb down and I think 250 up but that would cost like 90€…
