But oh boy is it a flashy good-looking structured cool code! It doesn’t work, but it’s cool!

Purely out of curiosity, I used the Cursor IDE for a personal project involving a lot of math-y stuff, and this really wasn’t my experience.

Not only was most of what it produced wrong (ran just fine, but mostly produced complete garbage), the code quality was absolute shit. Overly long functions, often with parts that repeated, kept shoving more and more parameters into those overly long functions, no sense of using abstractions to cut down on code length etc. etc.

Might have partially been a question of language choice; I was using Julia, and there’s definitely not going to be as much training data for it compared to something like Python (🤮), and a lot of the code that is out there has been written by people who aren’t coders but scientists

Fuck me am I glad I’m out of the corporate world

I wish users would report their problem istead of what they think is the solution.

And when they do report the problem, they should report the actual problem they had and not what they think the problem is.

So instead of eg. “my computer’s been hacked!”, it’s actually “I saw a scary error dialog I didn’t understand”

I know so many ops people who are practically functional alcoholics and I’m not surprised at all

I hope you wear the velcro shoes for your own sake

I wonder what the daily recommended allowance of irony is

I mean I’m like 99.9999% sure the post itself is satire, but what worries me is that I’m not sure if the concept of “higher order vibes” is itself satire or not

This sort of reminds me of my experience with Quebecois French. That shit gets pretty wild the further north you go, and I can barely understand Montrealers

But he’s speaking too clearly and enunciating too well

I could understand mmmmmaaaaayyyybe like 70% (if we’re being generous, and we are, aren’t we?) of what the dude in that video was saying.

Regional accents can be really hard for me to understand sometimes, but I still love hearing them. The “standard American” accent and RP get so boring

Thanks for the explanation! I really had no idea about any of this.

After listening to the interview on that Excursion Around The Bay video I got interested in hearing more of the accent so I went and dug up more videos and ran into this https://youtu.be/yl9hQpG_c34

That accent is a delight. It’s so interesting.

Can someone explain this to a dirty Yuropean peasant like me?

Humanity is the bane of humanity

(is great (oh (really (like-p lisp you))))

Doing stupid things because stupid people do stupid things too 👌

Comparing apples to oranges doesn’t make any more sense just because someone else does something even dumber.

In fact, maybe we should run offices like that. Just breed developers in a closed system

At some point going as far as trying to genetically engineer an even larger hamster instead of just changing the design so that it could use multiple smaller but parallel hamsters

Joke’s on you, I’m unemployed

Where did I say the caretaker has absolutely nothing to do with it?

But yes I guess it’s easier to win arguments when you can just wholesale invent what the other person’s saying out of thin air.

I’ve only ever heard mostly people without kids saying this.

Stupid people without kids. I don’t have 'em but I have a functioning cerebral cortex so I can’t even fathom saying something like that out loud
