Comment Re:Code review, not fun. (Score 3, Insightful) 85

On the other hand, 'code review' is one of the things that really splits senior software developers from the lower levels. Just being good at programming makes you a good programmer. Reviewing and signing off on other people's work is what (generally) makes you a senior or a lead. Probably the number one complaint I hear from senior devs is that they miss coding since so much of their time is spent doing reviews.

Comment Re:Jesus fucking Christ (Score 1) 92

Which makes me wonder if what we really have here is an inactive IoT feature of some type. Remote monitoring and maintenance sounds just like something that marketing would instruct engineering to put in something then lose interest in... or something that some customers wanted but others did not, and it was cheaper to ship it in everything than to make multiple designs.

It is not a direct threat in that it doesn't make us sick or consume us. What mirror life would do though it consume basic materials at the very bottom of the food chain, but then be indigestible to the next layer up. So it can eat all it likes and multiply, but nothing can eat it, and thus start starving the whole ecosystem from the bottom up.

Comment Re:Need 3rd party validation (Score 1) 100

Yeah, but as soon as you have some kind of validation, the people making money off this slop will claim that the system is 'woke' and needs to be taken down. As soon as you come between a grifter and their money, it becomes a religious issue and thus everything that opposes them is the work of satan.. and they have an army of unquestioning evangelicals to punish any company that tries.

Given how conservatives seem to have no consistency in their beliefs and no ethical system, I would not be surprised if the people pushing things like prager u eventually just switch over to AI slop optimized for emotional reactions so they can sell their supplements and mobilize their army of flying monkeys for their own gain

Comment Re:For an "anti-socialist" he sure (Score 1) 125

Eh, in the american lexicon the terms have gotten pretty meaningless. To many, they are pretty interchangable and are just shorthand for 'hates god, his chosen economic system, his chosen country/culture, his chosen race, and the natural order that enforces that.'. The actual economic or political structures are not really part of the mental model and have not been since the 50s.
