I predict that, within the year, AI will be doing 100% of the development work that isn’t total and utter bullshit pain-in-the-ass complexity, layered on obfuscations, composed of needlessly complex bullshit.

That’s right, within a year, AI will be doing .001% of programming tasks.

“Then you are truly lost.”

Alright, I’m gonna ask: This is a joke cable right?

Every time I see something I’m absolutely sure is a joke cable, somebody links me to a piece of real hardware that actually needs that monstrosity of a cable.

But this time, I am 99% sure… Nothing actually could possibly have any use for this cable…right?

I would be more sure if one end wasn’t a network cable end. Networking people have some deeply weird cables…

That’s right.

But only because “Vim vs Emacs” is a technically a religious holy war.

Regarding Twitter: yes.

As a tech person outside Twitter, looking in: Twitter is metaphorically a huge airliner with one remaining engine, and that engine is pouring smoke.

The clown who caused the first four engines to fail has stepped out of the pilot’s seat, but still has the ability to fire the new pilot, and still has strong convictions on how to fly a plane.

That plane might land safely. But in the tech community, those of us fortunate not to be affected are watching with popcorn, because we expect a spectacular crash.

If anyone reading this is still relying on Twitter - uh, my advice is to start a Mastodon account. Or Myspace or something.

There’s no such thing as self documenting code, unless every method and variable name has the word “because” in it.

Anyone can read what the code does. The comments are there to answer why it does what it does the way it does.

Why is invariably lost to time, if it’s not committed to a comment here and there.

Programming with AI help is like having the expert chef at my shoulder, giving me tips, but he’s high as hell on three different mild altering drugs.

Then he’s like “That cake needs some lemon juice. Trust me.”

“Ronald Reagan, the actor?!”

I see what you did there. Well, I half see it, anyway.
