We need this at a conference. Why are people pushing back so heavily when embracing it will bring you greater control over the technologies coming out. Yes AI will replace jobs, what now. Are you just gonna wait you fate or create it. Screw it!

So... you did not read it, or did not understand what you read.

Why is this so good? Probably because someone still cared a lot about the bit! And wow this is really quite good lol.

Commitment to the bit is the only way. None of that “I like it ironically” bs here

I'm fatigued by this hyperbole and profanity, especially when written by an LLM. There is too much of this. Human-written or not it makes it very difficult for me to engage with. The sentiment is bad. Is building this better than building nothing? Just because this is how things are does not it's how they should be. I'm very tired.

As a former 7th grader, I liked the style. If anything, the over-the-top-ness makes it less bitter and more of a self-parody. It's honest about its own immaturity, making everything lighthearted again.

It's also using only under-specific swearwords like 'm..f*king', which is not really instigating violence, attacking any characteristic directly, just exaggerated profanity to the point of unseriousness.

I'm not saying the style is good or that everyone should tolerate it, I'm saying only that for me the exaggeration softens out the sentiment. I'd argue it's also what you sing up given the URL.

What? What part of my comment says i disagree with what i read. "did i read it, or understand it" did you? you seem lost.

People complain about all things all the time (rightfully) but I'm not gonna complain about your complaints now, I will only add that I sometimes enjoy humor full of "shock" and profanity. Still! , After decades of professionals and non-professionals diluting it. This site was funny. Ymmv

Its a tale as old as time. I am 30 and still love fart jokes but I must accept that some people prefer the boring life and lost all humor.

> lost all humor. not to mention sense of smell

Because it's also bullshit. "People who read" prefer static sites and not prefer any kind of interactivity is just fetishizing intelligence. Readers don't give a fuck if your site is coded in react or static, most of them dont even know web technology statistically. Projection at its peak

Yea definitely, anyone with different preferences from you is just virtue signaling and/or trying to flex on you. Seems super reasonable to me

yall, the line is referencing codegen & docsgen & slopgen; people are putting shit into the ether that neither them nor anyone else is going to read but will just be imbibed by some other agent for some random purpose no one strictly knows.

It's actually amazing people try to disassociate LLM writing from humans; 10 years ago the same was about trolls and rage bait.

Ya'll should've already realized that finding a truth statement on the internet is a hazard not worth doing.

Now it's just worse because the sloptrolls dont even.

> Here's how open source contributions go down: I clone your repo, point an agent at your test suite, and have it rewrite the whole thing in Rust to a "spec." No copyright infringed, your honor — an agent wrote every line to a clean-room description, and the description was just your code read aloud. The tests were the spec. The spec was theft. Theft was the pipeline.

I know this website is tongue-and-cheek but I did want to address this part. It's seems to be referring to:

I personally don't see re-implementing a project's specification from tests as theft. I also find it morally okay as long as the re-implementers don't lie about the original project (e.g. saying it's the clone to theirs, the original is X times slower when it's not, etc.). Legally, it would also be permissible since re-implementation of a spec, and even an api interface, has been established to be fair use:
