LMAO! Well, at least I can cry to Claude about it...

This is why I'm on Lemmy. You guys get me

My boiled egg has to be just a little bit liquid on the inside 🌚

Your description of the problem has words I've heard before, like "a" and "even"; marked as duplicate.

Now, that's the real SO experience.

That's great example of how to get the right answer on any forum. Though you've found away you don't need two accounts. Traditionay you need a archive to give an absolutely complete bat shit answer so a thousand users can tell you why you're wrong.

This sounds pretty exciting and I keep hearing more and more about piefed lately. I'm kinda excited for this new burgeoning era of the federated 'Net!

Yeah, it talks like it was made for HR managers.

^^^ Look at this absolute asshole!, ^^^

<--- also this one

stack overflow at least is polite enough to call you a moron for asking

One even recommended I take a prompt engineering boot camp

They always accuse the user of being the problem when using glorified if-else machines.

If SO doesn't have the answer to your question, LLMs won't either. You can't improve that by prompting "better".

They are just an easier way to search for it. They don't make answers up (or rather, they do, but when they do that, they are always wrong).

If you're planning on using LLMs for coding advice, may I recommend selfhosting a model and adding the documentation and repositories as context?

I use a a 1.5b qwen model (mega dumb) but with no context limit I can attach the documentation for the language I'm using, and attach the files from the repo I'm working in (always a local repo in my case) I can usually explain what I'm doing, what I'm trying to accomplish, and what I've tried to the LLM and it will generate snippets that at the very least point me in the right direction but more often than not solve the problem (after minor tweaks because dumb model not so good at coding)

I've been having good luck with Kimi K2 for CSS/bootstrap stuff, and boilerplate API calls (example: update x to y, pulling x and y from this .csv). I appreciate that it cites its sources because then I can go read more and hopefully become more self-reliant when looking up documentation.

That's just the average stackoverflow comment
