  • Finally, someone is fixing a problem that’s tailored to me. For me, FFF obviously stands for “Fat-Fingered Finder.”

  • It’s already happening. This came up in a webinar attended by someone from our sales team:

    > "A typo or two also helps to show it’s not AI (one of the biggest issues right now)."

  • > Huh? No, that's been established since Karpathy coined the term; you don't review the code, only use the agent and don't care about how it was done, just about the results.

    However, nowadays it is used as a synonym for everything that is somehow generated by an LLM. Regardless of whether it is a spec-driven, carefully reviewed and iterative piece of software or some yolo-style one-prompter with no idea how it was done.

  • In that case, removing „perhaps“ would have helped a lot. It is not about maybe being hired, but about maybe being interviewed.

  • Commented: "GPT-5.2"

    The closest I come to working with part-time, minimum-wage workers is working with student employees. Even then, they earn more and usually work more than five hours a week.

    Most of the time, I end up putting in more work than I get out of it. Onboarding, reviewing, and mentoring all take significant time.

    Even with the best students we had, paying around 400 euros a month, I would not say that I saved five hours a week.

    And even when they reach the point of being truly productive, they are usually already finished with their studies. If we then hire them full-time, they cost significantly more.
