If you’re on the side of torture, you’re one of the bad guys

Will this be enough to get the public to turn? I hope so, but somehow I don’t think so.

So, 4chan. You want Twitter to be 4chan.

Yeah, they can be useful, but not in the way that the snake oil salesmen would like you to believe. Code completion suggestions are kind of a wash: often close but needing corrections, to the point where it’s easier to just write it myself. Vibe coding really only works for basic, already-solved problems. Many kinds of code changes take such a level of precision or so many back-and-fourths with the AI that it’s more efficient to describe the logic in a programming language than in English. But AI can help with large repetitive tasks, though. Use it like a refactoring tool, but for refactorings not offered by your normal tooling. It’ll get you close, then you put the final touches on yourself.

The man-hour myth will never die in the management class

There are definitely parts of programming that are boring and repetitive. I’ve been using AI to speed that up. I still do the creative parts 100% myself.

PRs still need to be reasonable size for human review, regardless of how they were authored. IMO

Perfection

Exactly what I was going to say. This is an admission that the costs of tariffs hit US companies, not the country of origin that the tariff was levied against.

Didn’t they literally just lose a court case about this very thing?

He was not the least bit scared to be smashed into a pulp. Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!

The bottom picture is of Faith, the “second Slayer” in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who was chosen as the new Slayer following Buffy’s first death. She used this phrase a lot. It was the style of the time.

I can’t imagine what it’s like to care what round a sportsballer gets drafted in

Yeah, exactly my thoughts. At retirement age, most or all your investments should be low risk.

And make sure to use enough vermouth! None of this “wave the vermouth bottle near the shaker” nonsense. A martini should be about 1/4 vermouth as a starting point.

Seriously, why didn’t they stick his arm through one of those portals and then close it? Wouldn’t that sever the arm and separate Thanos far from the gems?

My hardware refresh came up this year. The asked for a MacBook instead of a windows laptop for the first time in my long career. Linux isn’t an option at my org yet.

This has the stench of junior engineer all over it. This rewrite will go way over budget and come limping across the finish line late, with more bugs and less features than the system it replaces. I guarantee it.

Re: length of commands, PS commands are longer, but they also have tab completion so realistically you never type the whole thing, only enough to be unambiguous and press tab. I’ll grant it’s still longer than the equivalent bash, but not by as much as it appears.

Pathetic
