No, I have a value driven mindset. If it doesn’t provide value for my work I don’t use it.

My work will speak for itself over the hype. And if it doesn’t? Well someone will

Is every mother fucker just going bat shit insane this year? Goddamn it.

No access until teenagers. If it was like when I was a kid probably younger but it’s so fucked rn

Replace everything is a file with “everything is a byte stream with a file handle” and your there.

There is A LOT of Unix that doesn’t stick to the convention of “everything is a text file” and for good reason.

Problem is the code is crap. Code without intent is crap. Code IS intent. LLMs are just statistical models with no understanding.

They are fancy copy paste machines. They have some minor “intelligence” but it’s pretty much just the ability to associate like information. Their responses are nothing but compositions of there training data and local context.

It has some uses granted. But writing your code beyond auto complete or extremely simple and straight forward tasks isn’t one of them. LLM generated code is not production ready code.

Just muscles / tendons / organs getting a little tangled usually

It’s been getting better but it’s paused since last nov pretty much

Software quality apocalypse continues to worse ( the bar was already low )

What do you mean by “imperial” variables I’ve never heard of this

Why. Why on earth would I go to starbucks

Make so sign up requires proof of work. Will slow them down.

Become computationally expensive for them at scale

It’s only optional and configurable if it’s respected. Which often times it’s not due to convention.

And I do already actually, it’s just weird that I have to.

It’s 100% one of those carry overs from earlier days of computing and Linux not having great standards only great conventions. Like /bin vs /usr/bin

Forever, next question please

Honestly I say just let the user decide what goes in their home directory. I always get annoyed at all the random garbage in there. There should be a specific place that is user owned that isn’t filled with cruft and configuration files
