eating their own dog food, are they?
they’ll have to hire an actual developer to fix it.
A guy I know is trying to pitch a tool to people he made with AI. Which is to say AI made it for him, because his coding knowledge just about covers HTML and CSS, as best as I can tell, so everything else (and probably a good chunk of those too) is slopped up.
Recently, someone apparently had difficulties signing up with their email, but only their email. Their partner’s worked fine. The guy was at a loss. I’m not sure he could read the code at all or has any idea of how troubleshooting works.
If it was open source, I’d probably look into it just out of curiosity. My money is on “AI trained on junior devs’ output did the junior dev thing where they discover RegEx and try to use it for email input validation”, because the provider has a dash in their domain and that’s the simplest explanation for email address troubles.
He also should hire an actual developer to fix his shit. My rates start at 100€/h, increasing by 10€ every time he suggests I ask AI.
Man, logging issues are like baby’s first engineering problem… That’s just embarrassing
These are the people trying to tell you programming is a solved issue btw.
it’s weird who gets reported for this stuff.
There was a game that released not too long ago that was spamming the same message to it’s log file in 500 millisecond intervals doing a constant stream of write and flush to disk the entire time the game ran.
silence.
There’s a pretty massive difference in scale and impact here…

Is there a way to mitigate this while still using codex like moving my project to an external drive I don’t care about?
Is it better to switch to Claud code?
