Whenever these things come up you always hear “then the company won’t survive!”

CEO and managers make bank somehow but it doesn’t matter that the workers can’t live on that wage. It’s always so weird how when workers actually take a pay cut, that the businesses get used to it. When the CEOs get bonuses they have to get used to that too.

Yeah, I’m not in any way medically anything but I think I remember Dr Mike or one of those talking about how brain death is considered death or something like that.

I started with C++ and went to Java to .NET to Javascript and now to Terraform.

I know this is all a joke but there’s something definitely different with the ones above and the ones below. There’s a bit of satisfaction you can get sometimes when you’re working with memory directly and getting faster feedback (yes, there’s more math back then and it wasn’t easy to look stuff up, for sure). However, there’s new challenges nowadays … there’s so many layers on top of layers. I feel as though Stack Overflow and ChatGPT are so needed because the error messages and things we give are obfuscated or unclear (not always any library author’s fault as there’s compatibility issues, etc)

We’re doing serverless stuff at my current company and none of our devs run code locally. They have to upload it using CDK or Serverless Framework to run on the cloud. We don’t use SST so we can’t set breakpoints but like that’s a lot of crap inbetween just running your code already. Not even getting into the libraries and transpilers and stuff we use. I spent like a few weeks over Christmas to get our devs to run the code locally. Guess what? None of them use it because they’re so use to uploading it. I was like, "you can put breakpoints in it! you can have nodemon and it instant reloads! nope, none of them care … "

That’s like one and a half Twitters?

online human friends still can’t compete with seeing them in person … wtf a chatbot gonna do to fix this?

Not saying we shouldn’t talk to friends online and stuff it’s just that real humans are having difficulties filling these gaps.

Also, why the fuck would I want a friend like that’ll snitch me out and be used to sell me shit? I swear, he wants us hooked on these things and be like, “Subscribe now or your friends will be shut off forever!”

I heard Theo talking about this and I think he guessed that they don’t want to maintain these against forks is the number of people raising issues that are not related to the extension and more due to the fork.

His video goes into a lot of good detail as to what’s likely going on.

What Theo also says is that remember that they don’t make any money off of VSCode at all.

I’ve seen people go into areas hit by Trump and then whining about how Trump would make prices better for them and he’s hurt them instead. Then they ask if they’d wish they’d vote them and they reflexively answer “no”. It’s like cultural. They would vote for these morons no matter what.

Obama called out Fox News before, I remember something like all the other news organizations backed Fox News. They claimed an attack on any one of them was an attack of all of them or something.

For coding, I treat it as an overly enthusiastic junior-mid.

It’s also great because I’m learning terraform and I just don’t want to look up the syntax. I just tell it to add something and it’ll do the lookup for me.

It gets it wrong sometimes which is where I need to do the lookup but it definitely has its uses.

There was article written by their former marketing director or something stating that the CPU, GPU and stuff are still sourced from China, and other places as well. They hide it from you. So like it’s an eye-watering price for old specs and doesn’t really deliver what it says it does.

lazygit is pretty cool too.

That is the real crime here …

Embarassing rich people or losing profits. Their lives are what really matter, wouldn’t want them to be inconvenienced in any way.

Besides the absurd cost ($1,999) for the terrible specs. It seems they’re hiding where they’re sourcing certain components like you said like the CPU, GPU,

A complete random story but, I’m on the AI team at my company. However, I do infrastructure/application rather than the AI stuff. First off, I had to convince my company to move our data scientist to this team. They had him doing DevOps work (complete mismanagement of resources). Also, the work I was doing was SO unsatisfying with AI. We weren’t tweaking any models. We were just shoving shit to ChatGPT. Now it was be interesting if you’re doing RAG stuff maybe or other things. However, I was “crafting” my prompt and I could not give a shit less about writing a perfect prompt. I’m typically used to coding what I want but I had to find out how to write it properly: “please don’t format it like X”. Like I wasn’t using AI to write code, it was a service endpoint.

During lunch with the AI team, they keep saying things like “we only have 10 years left at most”. I was like, “but if you have AI spit out this code, if something goes wrong … don’t you need us to look into it?” they were like, “yeah but what if it can tell you exactly what the code is doing”. I’m like, “but who’s going to understand what it’s saying …?” “no, it can explain the type of problem to anyone”.

I said, I feel like I’m talking to a libertarian right now. Every response seems to be some solution that doesn’t exist.

Because our King can never be truly replaced. ✊

That’s rather rude and untrue … the programming language isn’t at all nice! /s

ducks and runs away

I don’t know if Sam Bankman-Fried is a huge piece of shit. He’s definitely a liar and a scammer though. But he was like rich as anything and then lost it all. Now he’s trying to curry favour with Trump to get out of jail.

That’s crazy because there’s no way in the modern day that I’d like to demo anything that hasn’t been tested.

I would say that paying for grocery delivery and cooking it yourself is better. Like, I live in the middle of nowhere, I get it … these services are eye wateringly expensive.

Also, they squeeze their workers.
