I'm totally convinced that, in this new era of AI-made software, "performance" will be the new "artisan luxury".

@libro.fm I understand why you may need to do this for a small set of books. But I worry to see such set growing (+3 books in my wishlist), and your "à la carte" prices for these books are quite higher than those in Audible — in some cases, even titles included "for free" in Audible's subscription 😔

The advent of the LLM-driven security auditor not only causes a flood of questionable reports on open source projects, but interestingly also causes some of these reports to report exactly the same with few days difference.

There is a kind of user that doesn't read the docs, opens tickets because they try programming using the force and fail and that, when you point out their error to them, just open a new ticket blaming your docs for not being good enough. You simply have to admire their determination in life.

I believe Patrick Wyman is one of the best communicators of popular history out there today. Whatever he has written in this book, if it is half as good as his podcasts, is going to be terrific.

So apparently, if you are a huge software vendor and charge big money for support and consulting, you can sell rubbish software and ignore standards and specs, and then expect that your customers will force their OTHER vendors to adapt to your garbage because that will be much cheaper for them.

I mean... OK. I can do that. But also "uv python find --show-version". Anyway. Perhaps I should read the documentation.

000

Daniel Fernández @danfenz.dev · 15/09/2025

I explained that point at the chat, and then came the first thing similar to a "good" answer: use "uv python find", which will output the path of the python runtime, then pipe it to "xargs -L 1 -I {} {} -V" to execute it and extract the version ("-V").

100

Daniel Fernández @danfenz.dev · 15/09/2025

3. So I asked Gemini (2.5 Flash), and this one told me that "uv python" without any arguments would give me the path of the python executable being used in the virtualenv. Which was incorrect again, as this only outputs the list of arguments that can be passed to it.

100

Daniel Fernández @danfenz.dev · 15/09/2025

So I explained that 0.8.17 was the latest version, released 5 days ago, and its response was that in such a case I should just use "python --version" without uv (OK, that's true, but I wanted a "uv" option). And again that "uv python list" would indicate the current one in the list (nope, nope).

100

Daniel Fernández @danfenz.dev · 15/09/2025

I told it that "uv python --version" did not exist, and that I was using uv 0.8.17… and its response clarified that, in fact, the "uv python" subcommand had appeared in uv version 0.9.0, so I needed to upgrade 😕

100

Daniel Fernández @danfenz.dev · 15/09/2025

2. So I asked Claude (Sonnet 4), and again it told me that I should use "uv python --version" (nope) and also that "uv python list" would give me a list of the installed python versions, indicating the currently active one (also nope on this last point).

100

Daniel Fernández @danfenz.dev · 15/09/2025

Interestingly, this explanation included a literal quote from the release notes explaining the reboot, and a link to such release notes where apparently I could verify that point myself. None of that was real. Version 0.8.17 was released five days ago.

100

Daniel Fernández @danfenz.dev · 15/09/2025

I reiterated that I used version 0.8.17, which is newer than 0.1.0 and, as a response, I obtained a lengthy explanation about how, contrary to what it seemed, 0.1.0 was in fact a newer version than 0.8.17 because the uv project had been rebooted after 0.8.0, back to 0.1.0 🤨

100

Daniel Fernández @danfenz.dev · 15/09/2025

1. Github Copilot (GPT-4.1) told me it was "uv python --version". I told it that a "--version" option didn't exist for "uv python", and that I was using uv version 0.8.17. Its response was that this "--version" option appeared in 0.1.0, so I needed to upgrade to that version 🤷

100

Daniel Fernández @danfenz.dev · 15/09/2025

I've just asked 3 AIs about the way to obtain, using the "uv" command, which is the version of the python runtime that is being used for the active virtual environment. I know I can use "python --version", but I was curious to see whether I could do everything with "uv".

This touches on two critical points most people miss: First that most OSS, even popular projects, get no relevant external contributions ever. Second that maintainers get NOTHING out of their effort besides a fancy line in their CVs that most companies ignore. OSS is 95% fueled by mere dev pride.

Even the smallest piece of software you want to try is now distributed as a 12-container docker-compose deployment or kubernetes cluster. Everything is so slow. It's incredible how good we are at making our new shiny supercomputers turn uncomfortable and cumbersome at every step of the tech cycle.

Also interestingly, along the way I learned about CTRIE (Concurrent Hash-Trie) structures. These were almost the same thing that I was implementing, though mine diverged in that my tree was fully immutable: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ctrie

So my experience with the AI assistant could be summarized as: 1. Quite useful for some tasks. 2. Lots of time invested in discussions with a machine 😅. 3. Allowed me to learn a lot. And 4. Super-important: This thing is dangerous if you don't already now quite well what you are doing beforehand.

Daniel Fernández @danfenz.dev · 04/05/2025

The issues? Well, mainly those derived from working with a system that is able to tell you, in a hugely convincing manner, the most absolute lies without batting an eyelid. Sometimes even being incoherent among paragraphs of the same response. You brain needs to be in the driving seat full-time.

And third was unit test generation. This is something AI does quite alright if the interface of the tested classes is clear. Not for complex tests but enough to cover most of the basics. In my case, java.util.Map is super well-documented so it was especially easy (and effortless) to add new tests.
