Right, Israelis managed to have a partnership with a regime that ended 3 years before Israel even existed.
Yes, wishing for genocide against civilians makes you an extremist. Some of those civilians being absolute shitbags like above does not change that.
Just to humanize the baddies a little bit - /r/conservative is basically all shitting on Trump for his comments on Mueller https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/1rzxz8o/bad_trump_bad/
I don't see how this is propaganda - AP is telling us what Israel is doing, and the reasons they're claiming they're doing it. They're not justifying anything on Israel's behalf here.
I mean, sure, but they're not all soldiers by choice - it's legally required. There are lots of objectors.
Have you been to Israel?
Many, many times.
It sure is. It's not all of them. There are an awful lot of Americans who are ok with Trump's agenda too.
Your latest election doesn't really bear that out.
Do you think "never trust an American" is also a reasonable statement to make?This is just dressed up bigotry. Israel the state != every individual Israeli citizen. That said foreign developers should always be regarded with a healthy amount of skepticism
It came through pretty clearly IMO. Also yeah, this is great all around
There's plenty of blame to go around - Israel and the US get the lion's share here.
Sure, that's true. But it's no different from human written code in that sense - no code authorship is perfect, and reviews/tests/etc are important parts of software development to help minimize the impacts of developer bugs.
At some point that distinction about "understanding" is pretty meaningless. It generates robust, well written code, that does exactly what I expect it to. It gives me meaningful feedback about design choices, and accurately weighs the pros and cons to different approaches.It's basically like having a senior dev sitting beside me and able to answer any clear tech question about any language/tool/framework, and also write very solid code of low to medium complexity.
As for "understanding" what the code it writes does, thats a messier topic. In the context of coding what that really means (IMO) is being able to predict the downstream impacts of a particular change. That's what programmers do (poorly, quite often), and Claude code is more than capable of doing that. It can weigh tradeoffs for different approaches, and take design principles into account. I consult it for decisions I already know the answer to, and it has so far pretty much nailed every answer
I think you're oversimplifying what it's doing. Yes, at it's core is an LLM and the neural networks that underly it, making them essentially probability machines at heart - but layered on top is tooling that actually goes through and validates what it's done. And then compares that against the user instructions, as well as a whole bunch of things under the hood (best practices, conventions, etc). You're right that it works best in a bounded problem area, but it works incredibly well there.
Nah, just some dude who is in the industry and can see the writing on the wall. Make your own decisions, but ignore it at your peril.
Sure, but vibe coding is a small part of AI powered code in general
You're absolutely right, but people are letting their (valid) anti-AI sentiments colour their opinions on its efficacy.I'm also a software industry vet and using Claude Code is a game changer - it speeds me an incredible amount, especially in frameworks/stacks/tools that I'm new to.If someone is currently a software dev they're doing themselves a disservice by ignoring it. Probably to the point of unhireability within a few years.
I think you're underestimating the reasoning that AI exhibits within the domain of tech. Almost everything in tech is deterministic, and that gives AI very strong rails to stay within. In my experience using Claude Code for about a month now (and 15 years in the tech industry as a programmer -> architect): anything function sized or smaller it generally gets 100% right. Feature size it usually gets about 70-90% right, depending on complexity. It doesn't take genAI to do this extremely well.
Ah ok. Yeah Vibe Coding is a small subset of AI powered coding, and definitely full of pitfalls.All companies will jump on this chance to save money - the smart ones will use AI to help their trusted human experts, the dumb ones will use it to replace them.
If you're a developer in the industry - I suggest you start incorporating something like Claude Code into your workflow. If you don't, there's a very good chance you'll start to fall behind over the next year or two. The efficiency it can bring (even without writing your code for you) is transformative.
Claude Code is SO on steroids. Customized code snippets that take your whole code base into account as context - SO is dying very quickly, and for good reason. It ~was~ fine, until it was totally eclipsed.
Even if you don't use it to generate your production code - I recommend trying it as a replacement to StackOverflow. You can get customized snippets doing exactly what you want, in any language/framework. Super useful, especially when working in a new stack or tool.
You seem to be confused about how AI is used in practice to actually code. If you're just having it write a whole app or feature without intervention, then yes that's vibe coding and has all sorts of problems. This is not the norm for most companies and people adopting it to code.Using it in targeted ways and reviewing the code it generates (like you would a human dev) then it's very powerful. It absolutely can avoid security vulnerabilities, especially the well known ones.
I'm not sure where you're getting that information - Claude Code is very good at knowing common pitfalls to avoid, especially if you call attention to them directly. "Scan this feature for race conditions" or "Look for memory leaks here" etc will generally result in very good feedback. It's able to map trees and code paths in a way that humans struggle to when the code base is sufficiently complex - and summarize them.
Out of curiosity, are you a programmer? Because "all it can do is make sure the code runs" is absolutely not true. It's very good at improving code - for readability, reusability, following conventions, efficiency, security etc. Far better than most programmers, but not as good as the best programmers in their tech stack of choice."Using AI to code with" runs the spectrum from vibe coding, which is awful, to having AI provide insights and reviews to experienced engineers, which is damn useful.
It does. But if you know how the sausage is made and THEN you use Claude, then it can be incredibly powerful. Especially in well defined areas of code that are high in boilerplate (wiring up APIs, UI widgets, etc) - doubly true if there's lots of existing examples in the code base of patterns it can follow.I'm senior dev/architect and am incredibly impressed by it, when used correctly. Saying "build me this whole feature" then blindly committing the result is a recipe for disaster for sure.
98% of programming is solving existing problems that someone else has solved before. AI can be exceptionally strong here - it never makes syntax errors, it's very good at checking for standard errors (race conditions, memory leaks, etc) - far better than most programmers. The key is using it as a tool to assist you, not write entire applications in isolation.My productivity is about 5X using it compared to before. Maybe more.
