Negative nancy.

That's crazy. What was the justification for all of that? Sounds like this runs deep

"The group decided to strike out on its own after Carmack created a near-perfect replica of the first level of Super Mario Bros. 3 — Nintendo's best-selling platformer — on a PC."

That's so not the masters of doom version of events. A lot of talent was involved making Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement.

I never thought I'd even ask for this, but after buying a 13.9k and having it turns my office into a sauna, I need to ask-- how much heat does this thing pump out? Or to put it another way, is it more thermally efficient than the higher end Intel chips?

It's seriously a problem when you have to locate your case in another damn room

They mentioned Chinese competitors. Are Roomba's manufactured in the US? What competitors are they talking about?

Truth

All of the output from my junior engineers is AI generated and completely lacks a fundamental understanding of the problem they are actually trying to solve. Weeks of useless effort that they cannot even justify because they are way out of their lane.

It's not so much that the code they present to me is *wrong*, it's that they don't even grasp the core issue and instead present a fumbling half-solution to the wrong problem. They hope the whole coding thing really is a big sham of a lot of people pretending but no one actually doing, but it's not.

It's kind of like always having google maps on your phone and never learning how to navigate. You don't understand all the meta-clues like landmarks, orientation...

I feel that the cries of imposter syndrome I'm hearing amongst juniors doesn't compel me to advise them with assurances or mentorship but rather with confirmation-- the reason you feel like an imposter is because you *are*

> Given AI models are getting quite good at finding bugs in code

You have got to be kidding me

*straightens glasses*

well ACTSHULLY

It's literally impossible to tell the level developers are at with AI. Juniors are abusing it so hard (and hiding it) that they do the most inscrutable, wrong, zero-context solutions, and when I called them on it-- my manager received a report I was being mean. I feel like it's time to get my hose and spray the kids to keep them off my lawn with how this is coming off, but what in the hell is going on. Total circus.

Holy hell, he gonna done murder somebody

It helps me get a start with some boilerplate that is is 70% functional, contains 20% made up methods, and is 100% inappropriate for the given problem set, but I've still been more productive than without it. I use it to brainstorm and it never lets me down 33% of the time if you know what I mean.

It's frustrating, infuriating even, but I can't deny I'm better of with it. It's great to have another source of unreliable nonsense mixed in with genius other than just google and my friend Dave

On an "unusual" frequency. I mean seriously. This whole thing makes no sense.

If this guy's story is full of holes, so was the writer of this story...

If you're talking about what I think you are, there are two things to fix this-- called, appropriately, WindowsAppsUnfukker. Also, Windows-Store-Fixer is another one. They work pretty well.

I can't make sense of this.
