GrapheneOS is currently defending its use of AI coding tools on Mastodon against complaints by various accounts claiming to be users.

We do not understand where you’re coming from or why you’re so incredibly angry with us. It’s not justified and does not make sense.

    Again based on real world experience I disagree. The problem is the people doing the AI coding and how they were before?

    I have a strong coding background. I know what AI is coding for me. I give it strong guardrails. It does for me in minutes something that would take me hours. I will still review and QA what it does.

    The problem is people who use it to built a monolith of code and I’ve seen my fair share of that AND documentation driven by AI. It’s unneedingly obtuse and verbose and reeks of people who do not know what they’re doing.

    There is a huge difference in telling AI to “build me a website in Django” vs. “build me a function to do xyz when the parameters are abc and the return value needs to be lmn”

      my real world experience is both Microsoft win 10 and win 11 having massive impacting bugs since January

      https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1qn0h8l/reports_of_boot_failures_with_the_january_2026/#bottom-comments

      in the case of win 11, multiple times

      even if you personally use it right that says nothing about these massive corporations

      also im not anti ai as a concept but anti ai because tech bros are the fucking anti christ

      i know for a fact in the coding sphere i operate in there are people coding via agent -> agent in multi chains

      that shit is terrifying given the field i work in

        Ok? But that’s you. I don’t work for Microsoft I work for a major financial company and I have not seen the disastrous impacts you are seeing nor are we rolling out end user software.
