So much time in my undergrad designing stupid inheritance hierarchies for systems (petrol stations, web servers, guidance systems), none of it even remotely applicable in my actual career as a dev. In fact, practically every time someone had done something “clever” with inheritance it caused subtle bugs or made maintenance and extension much harder than it should have been.

It’s really wholesome to see people in agreement for once.

This feels like a mid-wit chart thing.

“Vibe coding” is the new “bleeding edge” with people using it who never even knew it was negative.

I have an LLM usage mandate in my performance review now. I can’t trust it to do anything important, so I’ll get it to do incredibly noddy things like deleting a clause (that I literally always have highlighted) or generate documentation that’s more long-winded than just reading the code and then go to the bathroom while it happens.

That’ll be quite the talking point in South Kensington next week!

They’ve got their Revolutionary Guard Corps now, so your best hope now is probably for Baron Greenback to choke on his own tongue or something and then the rest of the regime tear each other apart over control.

Me too! I’d get a new mechanical keyboard but they start asking if I want red, brown, blue or beige switches and I’m like “I dunno what that is!”. Also they cost a tonne and my Dell came free with a tower PC.

L-shaped Enter key master race.

Intentional BSOD-coloured branding?

Is it because there’s a big hole all the way around the Earth that we can see through?

That’s just whataboutism from the same people doing the review bombing because of perceived wokeness. Corporations only give a shit about the bottom line, and if they can make money out of Black Panther or a movie about ICE agents on a quest to dig up Hitler’s skull they’ll do it.

How irritating is Aaron Taylor-Johnson in it?

Thanks, I hate it.

Are you planning to skip AC1, play 2 and then get a couple hours into 3 before giving up entirely?

They scripted the river crossing puzzle into LLMs months ago. It’s a demo set-piece to convince users that the bot can solve any class of problem - the only issue is that it’ll often turn them into more river-crossing problems.

How about chances of being born in the ocean, or even on this planet?

And the US just officially warned Iran “not to retaliate”. I think we know what’s coming, lads.

Imagine if Akash spent the night making improvements instead of rewriting from scratch though.

I’m pretty sure there are in fact algorithms in Fediverse code.
