This is interesting, I would be quite impressed if this PR got merged without additional changes.

I am genuinely curious and no judgement at all, since you mentioned that you are not a rust/GTK expert, are you able to read and and have a decent understanding of the output code?

For example, in the sway.rs file, you uncommented a piece of code about floating nodes in get_all_windows function, do you know why it is uncommented? (again, not trying to judge; it is a genuine question. I also don’t know rust or GTK, just curious.

Then I am quite confused what LLM is supposed to help me with. I am not a programmer, and I am certainly not a TypeScript programmer. This is why I postponed my eslint upgrade for half a year, since I don’t have a lot of experience in TypeScript, besides one project in my college webdev class.

So if I can sit down for a couple hour to port my rather simple eslint config, which arguably is the most mechanical task I have seen in my limited programming experience, and LLM produce anything close to correct. Then I am rather confused what “real programmers” would use it for…

People here say boilerplate code, but honestly I don’t quite recall the last time I need to write a lot of boilerplate code.

I have also tried to use llm to debug SELinux and docker container on my homelab; unfortunately, it is absolutely useless in that as well.

The image is taken from Zhihu, a Chinese Quora-like site.

The prompt is talking about give a design of a certain app, and the response seems to talk about some suggested pages. So it doesn’t seem to reflect the text.

But this in general aligns with my experience coding with llm. I was trying to upgrade my eslint from 8 to 9, and ask chatgpt to convert my eslint file, and it proceed to spit out complete garbage.

I thought this would be a good task for llm because eslint config is very common and well-documented, and the transformation is very mechanical, but it just cannot do it. So I proceed to read the documents and finished the migration in a couple hour…

Sorry I am not aware of the incident, do you mind elaborate? Thank you.

I feel one of the hardship for Linux to catch on is the lack of commercial interest to make it usable for consumers.

If this problem happened on Windows and macOS, MS and Apple would just send an engineer to spend a week or a day to have it fixed. This change has been in electron for months, and no one bother to fix it.

Same with bugs in chrome and libsecrate, which have been open for 4 freaking years… https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsecret/-/issues/49

It also took chrome half a decade to support text-input-v3: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40113488#comment1, which is added by a third party developer. And it still breaks KDE’s implementate https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492225 …

It is understandable people are frustrated, I am frustrated, and joined several conversation regarding this problem. However, I don’t appreciate some of the rant from many users. This change is certainly out-of-touch, potentially due to them don’t quite foresee the amount of flatpak/kde users who are affected by this change.

But many complaints have been dangerously close to the line, if not over the line. Their quiet month policy is reasonable IMO, developers need breaks, especially those interacts frequently with the community. Love or hate electron (same apply to CEF), these works clearly bring many wonderful apps into the linux world.

I personally don’t believe that non-contributors have the right to demand free work from the electron developers.
