Does anyone know what they are doing with context data send to their system? Could only find that the saas version had some audit, but didn’t know that term.

It sounds interesting enough to try it in day to day work, but we can’t use most AI tools so far as it violates our company rules when we send parts of the code base as context.

Really need to speak to our lawyer again about this…

Well I hope it’s ai bros haha.

I kinda feel sad about this whole ai tooling. For me programming was always more like art. But this gets lost now with all the ai stuff.

I sound like an old man yelling at clouds.

Modern Java isn’t that bad, and with new developments like the graalvm and cloud native builds, or what they are called, the footprint of a modern Java app can be comparable to an golang app.

Modern Java kinda has the same image problem as modern PHP. Not saying is all great, but it sure has seen quite the improvements in the last years

It’s the same way for me. I don’t know if my work is this trivial or I’m just “good enough” at it, but it takes me much longer to prompt the chat to get what I want than it takes me to just write it myself.

I honestly kinda feel like I’m using this ai stuff wrong, but outside of generating some basic unit tests and a little better auto complete it feels kinda useless in my day to day work.

I see it as a win, I love refactoring bad code . Just feels so nice afterwards.

Especially when you can remove thousands of lines of duplicated ui code.

That’s so much better than writing new code

Have you considered buying a used thin client / mini PC?

Since the Orange Pi 5 sounded interesting, I checked it out and it’s rather expensive. Well at least for me.

I found it from 180 to 200 Euro for the 8GB version. An used thin client or mini PC can be bought for half the price and most of the time it comes with 256gb storage included.

The extra cost for energy should be less than what you might be paying extra for the Orange Pi plus storage.
