  • I’m a senior dev and I want nothing to do with AI. By the time I understand what I want well enough to describe it in a complete sentence or paragraph, I can just write the fucking code myself. I figure it out as I go.

    The whole point of having devs under you that is to be able to trust them to get the job done and do it right. You want to be able to delegate tasks to them and not have to peek over their shoulder every five fucking minutes to be certain they’re not making a mess of things.

    I seriously doubt AI will ever be able to replace that. Not until they figure out how to make it afraid of fucking up.

    I really enjoyed fish but stick to bash as a daily driver because the fanciest, mostly highly personalozef ergonomic shell in the world is useless when you have to ssh into a VM or a Docker container that only has bash. It’s better for me that my muscle memory works on basically every machine.









  • That’s why we switched, on both closed- and open-source projects. There’s just no winning an argument that puts you on the same side as racists.

    At one point I was considering how, if someone asked on one of our public repos, I’d say “no” but at the same time post a receipt for a donation to the NAACP just to prove I wasn’t racist. Thankfully I realized how stupid an idea that was before it came to that.

    Performative wokeness is a cancer, man. Did any of this arguing and vitriol actually help any marginalized group in STEM? I really fucking doubt it.
