Simplicity of deployment. No need to compile. People bitch about virtualenvs but they pretty much just work. Also, totally FOSS. Unparalleled library ecosystem (no, I don't buy into the hype about re-rolling all your own dependencies).

And yet, it's still the place to go to buy anything secondhand or used. I'd go so far as to say eBay could be nationalized under the Defense Production Act due to the critical role it plays in manufacturing by keeping obsolete man

This is awesome. Can you add the Dutch Fork of South Carolina, perhaps? Not a triangle in name but generally triangle-ish.

A real car wouldn't track your sex life or your genome. They effectively stopped making real cars. We will drive the real cars and never buy fakes as long as this remains the case.

Indeed. I'm sure that someone will butt in with "it's just a bad implementation!" but the whole bit about allowlisting communications will cause flashbacks in those of us who had all our PUT requests just quit working on

It's called code churn. Generally, LLMs make code churn.

I don't necessarily have a problem with it, but this is just stealth micro-pensions. Expect tobacco purchases by Gen-X'ers and Millenials to skyrocket over the next few decades.

I don't really even subscribe to the notion that things like passive voice can be bad, but if suddenly everything we read started to be written in passive voice, I'd decry it as obnoxious.

I resent your em-dash reductivism and "stupid" insult. The LLM cliches got old very fast. > I am thankfully yet to run into a situation where someone with this attitude is actually in a position to be able to negatively affect

It's never been so prevalent as now, it's everywhere. I didn't mean any of this as a bad faith thing, it genuinely is changing how people think, speak, etc. Also, I don't consider hedging or defensive writing or negative

Yeah, not sure what this solves that doing multiple PRs from one feature branch into another doesn't solve. But building behavior that into AI agents wouldn't be cool enough, I guess.
