What's a process where you prefer the old way of doing things instead of how it's done now? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

    I think the issue is that back then, you only did important things with software. Now there is so much code doing the same simple things. Like how many ways does a person need to input thier birthday... and every tool we use.. if it is good it gets more and more expensive, and more and more cluttered as they try to expand thier market. So now a new cheaper tool that does the same thing gets written. I would bet 90 some % of code is copies of other code with scientifically meaningless difference. But someone has to write it all...

    Because I'm not arguing, genius, because a group of people that categorically reject all dissent as an appeal to nature fallacy is a group not worth engaging.

    Sounds like a self-defeating argument. So glad I could stand by while you beat on that straw man for a while. Feeling better after that li'l display, champ?

    Again, not an argument. You sure seem to be projecting about strawmen.

    Sure, kiddo. Whatever gives you that dopamine hit for being yet-another random internet douchecanoe.

    "Hurr hurr... I'm right and I've decided you're wrong because reasons. I'm not going to engage with anyone because everyone rejects my assertions that I'm right and everyone else is wrong."

    Uh huh. Real nuanced perspective you got there.

    Chill daddy, maybe ask yourself why people don't want to engage with you.

    The Internet Dickwad theory has been around quite a while. It's not a giant mystery.

    Why are you still trolling for dopamine?

    Same reason you're incapable of not having the last word.

    Oh you're projecting again, cute. Like literally every single thing you've accused me of is blatantly on display in your replies. I sincerely hope you one day realize that you are the problem. Nobody is being mean to you, you're just acting like an asshole and getting treated like one.

    Uh huh. Funny how many self-righteous people never seem to appreciate the concept of DARVO.

    Let me know when you've got something more interesting to say besides childishly commenting, "Nuh UH. I'm right because I say so."

    No this is LITERALLY the same argument made hundreds/thousands of years ago against writing and books. Its the same argument the amish use. It IS the luddit pinnicle argument.

    You do not realize how many businesses operate every single day and make plenty of money on suboptimal code.

    Industrial scale everything does not care, so long as the job gets done and the invoice is paid.

    Just like with every other profession made obsolete by technology, the 80% case won't need your bespoke, hand-crafted, artisanal assembly. There will still be minority cases who will pay a premium for it. And plenty of people will still program as a hobby or for their local community. But industrial scale software will be written by bots.

    Because the world runs on good enough. No matter how many elitist neckbeards get butthurt in the process.
