Totally. You'll get the Lord of the Flies scenario.

Even with with a manager, if the manager isn't doing much managing then the flies will start buzzing.

Personally I think Microsoft was in the right. Obfuscated code like this shouldn't be in an extension, at least with out a very big warning and a red flag.

Attempt? Isn't that project still in full swing?

I was on mobile, too much cortisol vs endorphin.

I had exactly the same experience.

Slick as silk! But too fast too quickly. Gimme some easy endorphin in the first few levels before I start struggling.

Not amateurs, but a NASA contractor managed to mess up Hubble's mirror back in the day.

Involves chipped paint and household washers.

Simon Winchester also covers it in great detail in his book Exactly: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World

If you're interested in precision making and how it all came to be it's a very joyful read.

That's Cursor Pro. What's the monthly subscription price for being patronized like that?

SO was never a problem. Low effort questions were. "This doesn't work, why?" followed by 300 lines of code.

I think it's definition on what's a "person" is way too broad. I've had similar problems, it's pretty shitty.

Yeah, your can do your dishes with the fire hose too.

Not only sharing, bluetooth in general can be a painful experience in some circumstances.

The Stockholm Syndrome.

At least LLMs are very often ready so acknowledge they might be wrong.

It can be incredibly hard to get a person to acknowledge that they might be remotely wrong on a topic they really care about.

Or, for some people, the thought that they might be wrong about anything attall is just like blasphemy to them.

Is JTAG undocumented?

It'd never have been an issue if this was documented.

> How's this any different

It's undocumented.

There are many ways of rightly praising Discword without sucker punching LOTR.

> reward practices

Yes. People are incentivized to do very stupid things to grab this years bonus or promotion.

See Google intentionally degrading search results for example. The resentment and loathing for Google is at all time high.

Prefer an outlaw, masquerading as a cowboy but they see him as a drone.

Spot on. People learn to recognize it from miles ahead and in now what's up.

The entitlement is big and burly with this one.

I've seen people age into the classic "grumpy old man" so there's something to it. But there's probably a lot more to it too I'd think.

The missing documents case is mentioned in this brilliant podcast, Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford | Laser Versus Parchment: Doomsday for the Disc: https://www.podbean.com/ea/dir-s4nk7-1bcc6872

He mentions a lot of other problems with missing digital docs.

Like high court rulings are referencing URLs that don't exist anymore.

Agree. It's funny how the internet gang reinvented the summary by calling it tldr. But on the other hand tldr is often like a summary of the summary.

Having a good summary at the top at least doubles the usefulness of your document

I like the idea. It has it's downsides too but it's way better than either a wall of text or nothing at all.

I know a guy who writes a wall of text. He literally calls it a wall of text. No one reads it and he gets really angry.

He forgot to write a small doc for the server requirements.

> This is no different than what amateurs have been doing for a long time.

Yes it is. They now have a cohort, a drunk hallucinating expert.

>Hopefully they’re not taking in PII or charging anyone for these apps.

You bet they most definitely are. Also remember that the S in "vibe coding" stands for security.

Entirely possible:

"The former head of Kazakhstan’s intelligence service, Alnur Mussayev, recently claimed in a Facebook post that Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, when the 40-year-old real-estate mogul first visited Moscow."
