Bruh..I haven't consistently sat at my computer for even a hour at a time to code for a decade..people spend that much time in Claude??

Degrees take 4 years. It's a very laggy indicator.

AI is very good at making the bad dev's PR look plausible and be green in CI. And thus, merged.

that's troubling..

it is pretty clear in context given what i was responding to

It wasn't hard to just..figure it out though. One sitting tops.

Claude is learned (taught? lol) helplessness, at scale. I'm pretty sure it's their real moat.

I have better things to do than read LLM prose copy-pasted verbatim too.

And yet here we are. I have to read LLM design docs that turn into LLM PRs with LLM PR descriptions and comments and docs.

i definitely used to write bash functions for this sort of thing tho. no GUI, but it was useful to do stuff like obscure my working hours (make it look like i did personal stuff after-hours. make it seem like stuff took all day instead of an hour..like adding sawdust to meat).

like you said, niche and probably unnecessary. and if i were to have published them (even in a gist!) i would have written the docs myself instead of forcing people to read LLM-speak. That's just lazy.

but what about the writing English to describe it part? does English also have a notoriously overcomplicated interface lol

but if you were sharing those utilities - even in a github gist! - why not write the English parts for human consumption yourself?

why can't anyone just do things themselves anymore? it's all LLM crap

meta playing spoiler, yeah. fun stuff!

models are stuck in time. eventually the world moves forward and it is trained on too much obsolete data.

training cannot end for LLMs intrinsically. it's not some fixed cost. it's an ongoing one.

Snowflake is a really amazing product. It's been a delight using it the last few years.

they write code faster too, which means things compound faster.

i write pretty good code when i need or want to, yeah. sadly LLM code gives me a headache so the current psychosis standard has made work a bit painful.

the codebases are becoming LLM-first human-second so even if i wanted to be natty it's not really viable. might as well spend my employer's money.

errors compound

the thing being disbanded is less than a year old

potemkin industry. jeez.

i type code by hand

so emacs is also left :)

"making tradeoffs" is an excuse for management to cut corners to get their feature faster at the cost of future developer pain and suffering

you know how japanese oni would roll human souls into soba noodles? [1]

that's what modern corporate software company management does :)

[1] i learned about this from the very funny gintama funeral episode

any 9s left?

okay so silicon valley won't happen all the way

haskell :)

is he okay? or is this unironic psychosis?

the author forgot you could also do a secret third thing: learn!

ah so they distilled fable and sol, eh?

right but type classes are basically vtables aka dictionary passing but the compiler figures out which dictionary to summon for you

but the key is they build seamlessly on top of real parametric polymorphism. you still get a real "forall a." in your proposition language.

Go fucked up early on with their core language design due to an inability to learn from the 1970s so now it's terminally dookie sadly

You just do dictionary passing.

ML's parametric polymorphism

and they're still worse than the 1970s state of the art lol
