I agree with your criticism of "the good enough" and "done with taste" dichotomy. I would like to comment on this, though: > that only want simple, that finding the most blunt appr…

The future is Borg.

Well, yes. You can't just not show up for work and call in sick. Within the same day you have to call your doctor and explain the symptoms and they have to start the paperwork for …

The sick leave has to go through the healthcare system. That said, there are doctors that would just blindly approve, but it's not exactly a norm. A lot of those sick days are also…

Possibly, although I have to say that I get PRs now where it's clear it's a miss by the LLM and was generated by a human who did not take the time to understand the subject matter.…

If it happened just once, yes.

How is 5m easy to achieve? Asking for a friend.

This story is so silly it must be true. Thank you, made me laugh out loud.

The weather is an example of a non-linear dynamic system. Try as we might, we still cannot predict it really even a few days in advance. The stock market is much worse, even, so, n…

Nah, let's just put a big sign "Kilroy was here", so they don't bother with the "mostly harmless" planet.

Not the OP but I guess what they are saying is that since this language is a subset of go and if you use it as such then an arena allocator cannot be used in the transliterated cod…

Indeed, but I guess OP is saying that the panics are not supported in this language.

Heh, I like the analogy but my question was really why it was considered such a hassle. I mean we deal with daylight saving time all the time and I know it's not the same because t…

So, it's solving a real problem, why are we dropping it? I mean, why does everybody agree it's a bad solution?

I agree, I don't like it either. But... how would they then implement a world where you can wander everywhere? What it brings to the table is that you can wander across the world a…

Thank you for the link. Chess is very much also a psychological game and that he resorts to such low blows is really petty.

Just came to say this as well. Happens in Europe too (well, obviously :) ).

Can you explain where this comes from? I mean, that's not even close to what the norm is in Europe. Though, to be fair, we don't normally count fuel into TCO and the reasoning is: …

I think it now has a slightly different lens. The DropBox argument was that anyone can build this in five minutes, so why use this? Now, with LLMs, the argument is that anyone can …

I remember reading an article in National Geographic of how crow's brains are much more interconnected than is the norm in mammals, i.e. IIRC they have a higher density of synapses…

Right. Just use the LLM to generate it for you /s

You mean the middle management? I have been in environments where they were almost literally made up of pencil pushers. Wouldn't be too sad to see them go. Only half joking, but it…

Indeed, there were plenty of people doing just that. I imagine they get the most out of vibe coding. However, when it became a problem, an engineer was still required to fix it. It…

Indeed. I have to say, I hate this. Suppose you are in a meeting, you update something and you see the result, but the rest of the team does not. Ok, a couple of hundred ms does no…

Depends on how far back you go.
