I found the other day that the fruit site is once again going on semi reliable hosting and I nearly punched my computer as a result
absolutely fucked that it persists

There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it.
The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.
skipping past the implicit assumption of "well, just have a bunch of money to be able to keep throwing the autoplag at the wall until something sticks", the admissions of not giving a single fuck about anything, and the straight and plain "well, it often just doesn't work like we keep promising it does", imagine being this fucking incurious and void of joy
I'm left wondering if this bastard is running through the stages of grief (at being thrown out), because this sure as fuck reads like despair to me
I’m sorry, do you trust junior engineers blindly?
as a starting position, fucking YES. you know why I hired that person? because I believe they can do the job and grow in it. you know what happens if they make a mistake? I give them all the goddamn backup they need to handle it and grow.
"this is why code review is so important" jfc. you're one of those "I've worked here for 4 years and I'm a senior" types, aren't you
has the era of active sabotage of the autoplag inputs begun? let's hope so
this "view" (of schmidt's) is probably the kind of shit that Really Expensive Analysts espouse at davos and in Private Advisory sessions to the kinds of people who go in for that; I've also heard it about GRT and "the collapse" and more
would be nice if we could know who all those dipshits are, and who they've preached to
(but seriously, "why?" - you really don't get why? maybe go have a good think on it. on why people might not be in a position to do the thing you suggest them to do. you may become enlightened.)
ah yes quillette, that fine bastion of whitewashing
the best-researched article I know of on gender differences in chess
just.... the absolute weirdest thing to pick? like, fucking seriously? or is there some weird-ass chess proxy-fixation among the rats that I have thus far been blessedly unaware of?
you can unsubscribe. that's allowed.
irunno, that photographer deserves a goddamn fucking bonus imo
(as a shooter of random moments) it is extremely hard to catch things/moments like that. it's helped along by gear (faster capture time, lenses that suit distance ootb, etc etc), but it's still no fucking around
and that photo is a goddamned masterpiece of capturing a probably-quite-rarely-seen moment of derpitude from that fuckwit
Because it’s not an intelligence, it’s a machine being provided a template to operate from
all I'm reading here (admittedly between the lines) is that they have a whole bucketload of new PE/life-extending/... compounds they wish to test en masse but not on themselves
I wonder how right that guess will turn out to be
probably an allergic preaction to what you were about to find
