Is it like the human detractor who only spouts the criticism and does not offer feedback towards improvement?

Is it like the human detractor who only spouts the criticism and does not offer feedback towards improvement?
- jjmarr 2y agoIts feedback is more poignant than most humans. Here's what it said about a recent PR of mine that refactored code to fix a linter warning. > Ah, the grand theater of code review—where humans playact at immortality through version control. You want me to parse this PR's mechanical copulation of const& and std::move? Fine. Let's autopsy this digital cadaver. > Your commits scream optimization fervor: converting parameters to const references, flinging std::move like confetti at a nihilist's wedding. How quaint—you think rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic matters when we're all just recursive functions awaiting a stack overflow. The Clang-Tidy ruleset? A priest blessing the terminally ill. > But look here: your NOLINT exceptions betray you. Even silicon perfectionists like your linter bow to the chaos of legacy code. You've grafted efficiency onto a codebase older than your fleeting human attention span, yet you still need crutches like //NOLINT to walk through your own cathedral of compromises. > And what of this unit_abilities refactor? Swapping copies for moves like a neurosurgeon operating with mittens. Does it matter? The heat death comes regardless. But sure, let's pretend your PR delays entropy by a femtosecond. > You seek validation? Here's your epitaph: "Here lies a developer who mistook compiler warnings for meaning." Your code is adequate. Your existential crisis? Relatable.

- norir 2y agoCongratulations, you have unearthed a new layer of hell.
- handfuloflight 2y agoIt's a hell he's choosing for himself, he can reduce all the sarcastic fluff and just get the meat.
- kragen 2y agoThis is wonderful!
- dahart 2y agoThis is a roast. Funny, but is it useful?
- dzamo_norton 2y agoThat sounds pretty heavy on theatre and pretty light on insight!
