Well, it wasn’t a comment on the quality of the model, just that the context limitation has already been largely overcome by one company, and others will probably follow (and improve on it further) over time. Especially as “AI Coding” gets more marketable.

That said, was this the new gemini 2.5 pro you tried, or the old one? I haven’t tried the new model myself, but I’ve heard good things about it.

Yeah, I’ve been seeing the same. Purely economically it doesn’t make sense with junior developers any more. AI is faster, cheaper and usually writes better code too.

The problem is that you need junior developers working and getting experience, otherwise you won’t get senior developers. I really wonder how development as a profession will be in 10 years

Working on a big codebase, I don’t even get the idea to ask an AI, you just can’t feed enough context to the AI that it’s really able to generate meaningful code…

That’s not a hard limit, for example google’s models can handle 2-million-token context window.

AI isn’t ready to replace programmers, engineers or IT admins yet.

On the other hand… it’s been about 2.5 years since chatgpt came out, and it’s gone from you being lucky it could write a few python lines without errors to being able to one shot a mobile phone level complexity game, even with self hosted models.

Who knows where it’ll be in a few years

Well, anything else just wouldn’t be Christian, you know. I’d hate to have to report you…

Since I already use ZFS for my data storage, I just created a private dataset for sensitive data. I also have my services split based on if it’s sensitive or not, so the non sensitive stuff comes up automatically and the sensitive stuff waits for me to log in and unlock the dataset.

I remember using svn when git development was started

which is about exactly as old as git.

Susan and Death talking:

“All right,” said Susan. “I’m not stupid. You’re saying humans need… fantasies to make life bearable.”

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

“Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—”

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

“So we can believe the big ones?”

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

“They’re not the same at all!”

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME…SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

“Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point—”

MY POINT EXACTLY.”

And then it doesn’t work on one VM and it takes you three days to figure out that VM had a slightly different version of a library and that makes the app segfault.

Proprietary, of course…

Sadly. At least there seem to be an open source implementation of it, don’t know if it’s reverse engineered or if there’s design docs available somewhere: https://github.com/Martichou/rquickshare

Android users use quick share these days

Time to hodl the info.
