And, honestly, if they came out with a statement that said (effectively), "Look, we're losing money here... we just _can't_ support free going forward. Here's our plan" that would be understandable. Sometimes you ha

I find this comment mind-boggling; in an honest confusion, not insulting way. I use Claude Code (and desktop) on a daily basis; but I can't even imagine doing anything complex without being able to see the code.

Ah, the old "you're doing it wrong" argument. Moving code from one place to another (copy/paste from online or just from one file to another) is a fairly common source of bugs for a lot of people when it comes to Python.

Whitespace and braces work together to make the code more readable; both by the computer and the human. And they make it less likely to have errors, because the braces convey intent (much like parens in math when they're not "need

I have many years of experience with Java, and rarely use Python... and I'd say Python is, in general, easier to read. There's generally a lot less "having to go look at _other_ code to know what _this_ code is doing".

Agreed. I know plenty of people that are looking for jobs and failing to find anything good. People that I look up to; highly skilled developers.

But, I won't be there to see how they feel about me at my funeral. I'm here now, to see how they treat me. So yes, doing things to conform / be one of the crowd may not be what people remember you for... but it may be what im

Oddly enough, asking an AI to add docs to a classfile explaining "what it does, why it needs to exist, and what uses it" is a great way to include some of the "why". I know it's not ALL the why, but it does a pretty

> The claim you should know everything about everything you work on is an intensely naive one This is a slight tangent from that, but I place a lot of value on the ability to offload some/most of the mental model to AI. I need to kn

I think the point was that, when you make a metric goal of "you must use AI this much", then people will use AI even in ways that isn't adding to productivity.

When I drink a non-diet cola, it tastes awful to me; sickeningly sweet. I don't have any problem with diet colas (though I don't like Diet Pepsi, it's slimy to me). The main point is that it's not that X has an awful tas

Fair enough. It's certainly not like that for most people though; which falls back to the _to you_ issue. Maybe, as you questioned, there is a genetic component. Or just "something different about you" (not necessarily geneti

I don't have a problem with them actively choosing to break laws to protest the laws themselves; to try to get them changed. Civil disobedience is a long standing practice. However, part of doing that is facing the consequences of brea

For root beer, I can't tell the difference. For colas, the difference is staggering to me.

It's just a preference thing. They taste bad _to you_, not to everyone. Even among people that like artificial sweeteners, people have preferences. I prefer pink and my wife prefers yellow. When I'm forced to use yellow, I just ca

Sorry, I was ambiguous in what I meant. It is not realistic to say that no person is allowed to keep track of another person; watch where they go, when, with who, etc. It should not be acceptable for a company to gather information on &quot

I unsubscribe twice (allowing for one possible bug), then spam. And, as others have noted, unsubscribe cannot involving going and logging into their system. If I need to do that, it generally goes directly to spam.
