Dude, I didn't realize how many of those were brands ... you blew my mind.

lol I was making a bad joke about how it's all uppercase regardless so my advice is completely useless

you do have a point though ... we take name brands sometimes and put it into our regular lexicon many times I think xerox is a good example as well.

That is simple, Fleshlight is a product and would be an uppercase at the start while flashlight is lowercase at the start ... simple 👀

From an outside perspective, the "both sides" arguments in the US sounds so fucking stupid and fucking lazy.

It's like some worthless pricks watched some South Park episode about a turd and a douche and took it seriously for some fucking reason and used it for their entire political identity. For fucks sake, it's even worse hearing, "yeah Biden did a lot of good, but he didn't advertise it enough". Fuck that shit. That's on you being a fucking stupid uninformed (non?)-voter.

He's very popular, written several books and spoken at many events. Most notably he's written Clean Code and the follow up I never bothered reading and he's a die hard advocate of TDD and also one of the authors of the Agile Manifesto. I met him a few times after his talks.

I generally "like" Uncle Bob or Robert C Martin insofar as he advocated for better software design and had some good ideas and all that. I personally hate TDD but when you talk to him and stuff, he's more flexible and nuanced than he can come across. The problem is when he comes up with (or runs into) a new "philosophy" he becomes evangelical about it and it seems like he doesn't have as much nuance. Sadly though, growing up with his fans in the software industry has been a pain because they'd hear something from him or Fowler or Beck or whoever and then try to reshape the codebase like typical Magpie Developers.

I think Alex Horne from Taskmaster was surprised at how many people criticized his teeth. He does have bad teeth though 😛

I don't like defending Americans too much especially when they're absolute snowflakes when we take shots back but they also make fun of other Americans with bad teeth. Mainly if you're from the South or Alabama or some state.

I'm genuinely surprised at the number of people who think Trump's first term was fine ...

I can take a pill without water. It's not pleasant but I can do it. I don't, however, look natural while taking it like I do with water. The raised neck and facial contortions I do and the time it takes would make those 3 seconds with a drink a far better choice.

Pointless rant. Please ignore. I'm a software developer and we all know how AI has changed our industry. How we work or why we're fired and why we can't afford PCs.

Anyways, we're already all forced to use AI already and we're already atrophying the minds of our juniors. It's great.

New team meeting and one of our managers tells us that we're never going to write code anymore at all. The AI will read the JIRA ticket and create the pull request (change request to the codebase) on GitHub. Our job is to only review the code on GitHub and then rank how well AI did and then comment and then get AI to fix it. We have to do this so we can improve the AI process. Which is funny because none of the people who plan this AI shit are data scientists. The only way they can change things is by promoting, it's not like we're releasing our own coding models but anyways ... He's like, now you should be able to do much more work and just review PRs all day now and that we should never be doing only one thing. You can only tell AI through a GitHub comment to fix a mistake and then you can start reviewing the next thing.

We were like, if it's a simple fix why can't we just fix it?

"Because we need to improve the AI process"

But then, I have to context switch.

"Yes that's the point you can come back to it later"

Why come back to it later when we can solve it now? We can even use AI to solve it now.

"No, we want you just comment on the PR so the bot can handle it"

Context switching is free apparently... It's actually infuriating because apparently we're not using IDEs any more. I personally use the GitHub plugin to review PRs in my IDE but no one else seems to do it so I don't think they even took that into account.

These guys have auto merged AI code that's taken us weeks to unravel and which we still haven't fully been able to fix. They just merge shit all the time and a lot of it is fucking slip. AI merged hundreds of tests and no one cares when they break. They didn't configure prettier because AI doesn't use it so it breaks out formatting when humans do it.

I ranted to my own manager for 30 minutes about it today and he was just as upset because every developer is now asking what exactly are they doing. My manager asked me what I would do. I said the process sucks but what are we supposed to do as devs. If I review 20 PRs a day, how is the company going to ensure my skills are gonna be sharp? What are we doing about taking in ideas from regular devs? How do we ensure code ownership when we're just merging tickets we don't write and code we had no hand in shaping?

Sorry. I actually thought I had faith in my company with AI because they were coming up with thoughtful approaches but it seems like utter incompetence.

MAGA Influencers are all in a chat and they all receive talking points and are paid to say things in a coordinated campaign.

They say Tucker isn't in on this ... how many of you wanna bet Rogan is though ...

"The Gemini-powered health coach will act as a combination fitness coach, sleep expert, and health and wellness advisor."

$10 a month feels steep to me, but there's other health plans like Whoop and stuff. Bevel is one that is device agnostic. I'm guessing this is why Google killed the Fitbit but I don't have crazy faith in Google maintaining things.
