The author defends mediocore code, yet wrote this piece:
https://fly.io/blog/vscode-ssh-wtf/
Where he dunks on how SSH access works in VSCode. I don't know. The code and architecture behind this feature may well be bananas, but gets the work done. Sounds like a clear case of mediocority. I wonder how does he reconcile those two articles together.
For me this is more of a clickbait. Both of the articles. With that in mind, if I am nuts for being sceptical of LLMs, I think it is fair to call the author a clickbaiter.
How a feature works, and how a feature is coded (how "nice" & canonical the code is) are two very different things.
He's dunking on the design of it.
Hmm. The author is a cryptography expert. So, honest question: Would he trust crypto code written by an AI?
(I suspect I know the answer, but I am not certain of it.)
The whole point of crypto is you don't trust code written by anyone, even yourself.
the AI is going to use crypto libraries just like you would?
