I await the first LLM generated PR to my JS canvas library with eager anticipation.
I can't wait to ask them if they've run the PR branch against all of the test demos, so they can prove that the PR doesn't break existing functionality. Currently there's just under 200 test demos, each of which needs to be tested manually (because: hell = canvas library + animation) across the three main browsers to make sure nothing breaks. Bonus points for going the extra mile for testing on mobile device browsers.
Over the last 6 months this has been my experience with new engineers at work, absolutely awful. I wish people didn't feel the need to throw out SDLC once the LLMs came along.
It's not rare for me to ask if they tested it. They can lie, but if they say they did and it crashes on me right when I start it, then I may never trust this contributor ever again.
Also I don't hesitate to be frank in my review, it's okay to say "I won't merge your feature because I don't think I can maintain that, but you're free to keep your fork". Or "I can merge it if you change this and this", but in that case I need to actually merge if they do what I asked for.

If it’s obvious without a shadow of a doubt that someone has lied, either on an issue or a PR, I’m very much inclined to block them. I have a lot of patience for people who are still learning or make silly mistakes but are genuinely making an effort; but if someone doesn’t even help me help them, that’s disrespectful and such behaviour shouldn’t be rewarded.
Building a developer marketing agency. No, I'm not doing anything evil, moreover, I'm trying to do things that actually make sense for devs and founders.
> I’ve been sexually assaulted on the job (which was sort of my mistake; this was the one guy who I thought I’d screened but actually hadn’t, and if I’d screened him I would have not met him)
No it wasn't your mistake. It hurts me to see that people who have been through trauma blame themselves for it.
I appreciate the care here! I do think he very clearly should not have assaulted me, and I also think I made a mistake by not screening him. Both are true! I have no sense of guilt or self-blame around this, I mostly have "Oh, I failed to do a thing that would have protected me, I'll make sure to do that next time, good to know."
There is a difference between exposing yourself to too much risk and being responsible for what happens to you. She made a mistake and blames herself for that. It was her mistake. She doesn't blame herself for the assault itself just for putting herself in a dangerous situation. I mean, if you don't realize it's your fault to mess up the screening process you will never correct it. It's healthy to realize your mistake.
Kinda baffling, when she gets assaulted she never even let the guy know he was doing something wrong, and later in the article she admits to raping a guy who had clearly stated he didn't want to have sex with her, while conspiring with her friend about it. And she barely even registers she did something wrong. It was "awkward".
Docs that get generated end up in a huge PR that people glance over.
Sometimes the reviewers aren't senior enough, so they don't even see the issue, etc.
