Holy shit, you’re right. I guess I was thinking of 10’s EOL as the start of 11’s.

Ikr? Didn’t we just do this?

Man, fuck those guys

Probably because that’s what tends to happen in the training data

Yeah. I think the only people saying that LLMs can write better code than “us” are the ones who can’t write good code themselves. And thanks to the Dunning Kruger effect, they overestimate their own skill and think they can speak for the rest of us.

And the heroes were scientists

Same, because its UX is actually really good. Years ago when I was new to git, I tried to use Sourcetree to revert a merge commit, and it would just fail. When I tried it in the CLI, it still failed, but it told me how to fix it. (I needed to specify which parent)

That, plus it’s scriptable, plus I’m in the terminal a lot anyway. I’ll also use the IDE git client sometimes if that’s where I am at the moment.

Turn off the autocomplete, it’s shit. Do use agent mode for targeted tasks that are easy but laborious. Don’t give open ended or subjective prompts. Don’t ask it to do anything creative or novel. It has its uses. Nowhere near what the snake oil salesmen would have you believe, and probably not worth the unsubsidized cost, but for now it has uses.

Everyone should be alarmed, Jesus Christ

That’s what we did with the pill pockets too. This stuff works like that but we like it way better and the cats seem to too.

I’ll share my technique

1. Control the back of the head with your off hand. At first by gripping a handful of the scruff of their neck, later just by cupping the back of their head once they’re used to it
2. With your main hand, get a little slippery on your index and thumb and grip the pill between them
3. Put your main hand palm up under their jaw and tip their head back with it.
4. Use your middle finger to press on the side of the mouth, near the corner. Their mouth will open.
5. Your thumb and index should be in position to flip into their mouth with a twist of the wrist while keeping that middle finger in place.
6. Squirt the pill from your slippery fingers with a pinching action. This will shoot the pill back into their throat if executed well.
7. Use your palm to close their mouth, keeping their head tilted back until they swallow.

This should all be done in a pretty smooth quick motion. Cats can understand some human language if you talk to them regularly, so I talk them through what I’m doing each time. If they spit it out, I just pick it up and repeat while telling them they have to swallow. My cats are all used to it now and take their pills without incident.

We like this stuff. Lasts longer, sticks to the pills better.

On iOS it’s one of very few browsers that has good adblocking built in

lol. Lmao.

If you’re on the side of torture, you’re one of the bad guys

Will this be enough to get the public to turn? I hope so, but somehow I don’t think so.

So, 4chan. You want Twitter to be 4chan.

The man-hour myth will never die in the management class

There are definitely parts of programming that are boring and repetitive. I’ve been using AI to speed that up. I still do the creative parts 100% myself.

PRs still need to be reasonable size for human review, regardless of how they were authored. IMO
