IDK how common this is, but there are stories of companies that make you work on real production code in the interview. Basically suckering you into free work before they give the position to the boss’s cousin or something.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•This is really serious, something this essetial can't be AI Vulnerable, save OSSEnglish
82·25 days agoHumans can barely write safe C code, so I definitely don’t trust AI to. I’m not even blanket against AI assistance in programming, but there are way too many hidden landmines in C for an LLM to be reliable with.
Just write the Rust build configuration as a Rust struct at this point.

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Amazon's internal agentic tool decided that existing code was inadequate and decided to replace it taking down a part of AWS for 13 hours, and was not the first time it had happened. 🤣English
12·30 days agoHow the fuck does a tech company as big as Amazon have this running in production and not a test/staging environment? This is the kind of mistake a platform run by one person makes and even then they probably won’t make it again.
Huh, something tells me that working in FAANG doesn’t actually make you a better engineer, they just have more money to not throw at R&D which somehow makes you feel superior to every other engineer 🤔

42·1 month agoUnrelated, but anyone else think it’s really weird that we just casually accept our food utensils containing chromium? Like, I know it’s an alloy and not just free chromium, but would we accept a lead alloy spoon? Probably not, especially with most food being acidic. Honestly I’m just waiting for the paper that says we’ve been slowly poisoning ourselves with stainless steel every time we eat.

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•ChatGPT apparently got rewarded for using its built-in calculator during training, and so it would covertly open its calculator, add 1+1, and do nothing with the result, on 5% of all user queriesEnglish

Senior devs are more likely to write one liners from their VIM window.
What about the IP issues? Not even talking about the “ethics” of “ip theft via AI” or anything, you just know a company like Microsoft or Apple will eventually try suing an open source project over AI code that’s “too similar” to their proprietary code. Doesn’t matter if they’re doing the same to a much greater degree, all that matters is they have the resources to sue open source projects and not the other way around. If a tech company can get rid of the competition by abusing the legal system, you just know they will, especially if they can also play the "they’re knowingly letting their users use pirated media that we own with their software” card on top of it.





Is this not against GDPR? I feel like this would be a slam dunk case.
