Maybe the difference is more of the professionals in the field now haven't built that same muscle, as there's a broader group of people working in tech. Whereas the folks that could fix things in the 90s mainly gravitated to compu

Do you have it? I've gotten a lot of use out of it, and I find there's a lot of people without it that love to dismiss it in these kinds of threads as useless. It helps me improvise with others, learn things quickly, play in tune

I have it, it wanders a bit, but I don't know what you mean by "out of key". If it wanders, everything would relatively wander with it. I've never found it to be a curse in any case.

I have it from early age, and it also shifts now that I'm almost 40. I think the more constantly I use it though, the more it seems to settle back into accuracy.

> Regarding OOP itself, I also remember when "favor composition vs inheritance" become a thing. Was this reversed too? I think this is generally still the advice, when working in OOP contexts.

Yes, and/but, many enter life once the horse riding is the dominant culture. It never even crosses their mind that smelling the roses is a thing they could or should do.

Is this in things like the clothing industry, where there exists a conversation around fast/cheap/outsourced fashion and has consumer pushback built in? If so, it makes sense they would get ahead of that. I'm not sure all ind

I could be wrong, but it feels like one issue is that AI seems to cater more as a signal to venture capital and the internals of the tech industry in a lot of these products, while consumers just want to know "what is this product goin

I think typically it's karma farming? To what end I'm not sure but it's probably not great.

When I try to share this page on iMessage it unfurls the link as "LLM / AI Standard Test Page" so I guess I won't share it!

I thought they were all in on agentic coding? They are probably just building at a surface level with only an eye towards shipping, without considering the impact of all the changes. I've seen less and less coordination between enginee

Hopefully the migration function doesn't silently move files. If you have dotfile symlinks, those would need updating. Also it would be surprising if config files were in a new place one day.

I've personally seen way more of a bias to shipping something because "now it's free" without actually discussing whether it's worthwhile. "Just do it" and we'll measure it later. Often the later does

Sure, but it's only a shakedown if it's an unoccupied second home, which is hard to have sympathy for. It can easily be an occupied second home (family, renters) or a first home for those in the upper middle class paying for $1mm+

Did you mean AGI? I'd think whatever else they are doing, LLMs are reducing RSI...

Thank you for writing what I want to scream every time a comparison is made to some archaic technology change.

Given some posters on the GitHub issue, I get the sense some people feel their religion is being violated.

Not sure what you're missing here. The other comment replies don't seem to be missing it. See the article, etc.

Yes and both are getting sued? I wouldn't necessarily classify the NAACP as environmental activists, but they are concerned with the wellbeing of the people they represent.

Then why do they keep getting sued, then going one state over and running the same playbook that got them sued in the previous state? https://naacp.org/articles/naacp-sues-xai-illegal-pollution-...
