The vast majority of coders are sloppy ass coders. Every software team I've ever worked on is propped up by the 20% of people who actually give a shit. Making the other 80% more productive is a net negative.

Even if it doesn't remember the state, off is a better default then on, no? my Subaru Legacy has a default-on radio and it's always annoying.

Isn't the very thesis of using AI that average is good enough and everyone should strive to be as average as possible?

But they don't. The "AI Coders" do nothing but brag about their productivity, producing 50,000 lines of code in a day. You will never convince me that they're reading all of that.

unga bunga. Why didn't you just say 0.656168 feet then?

Copying LLM output at someone is rude. stop it. https://stopsloppypasta.ai/en/

Ok, that's fair. It is still possible to code sloppily. However, forcing the user to think about object lifetimes does, in my opinion, lead to more sound designs.

It will help it succeed in the goal of having fewer memory-based CVEs.

It inhibits sloppy coding, but certainly not creative coding. It just requires some proof that you're not committing some programming sins. AI-produced code never gets reviewed adequately (you can't convince me that these people bragging about 50,000 lines a day are reviewing it all), but at least rust's compiler gives me some confidence in one class of bugs in its code (as long as you build your vibe-slop with `-Dunsafe-code`)

I have trouble taking programming advice from AI advocates, who clearly don't like programming and also don't take pride in the code they produce.

When i think "Space-age", i think 1960-1990. I think we need a new term that means "modern and futuristic"

If you expect the average person to constantly convert between two clocks, when many people struggle to make it to work on time under normal circumstances, then you must surround yourself with uncommonly competent people. I'm jealous!

"Sleep Experts" are just trying to sell fancy mattresses.

I have thought of this as well, but it would be really awkward in any part of the world where the date would change in the middle of the day. For instance, the date would change in mid-morning in Tokyo and at dinner time in Los Angeles. I can't imagine people getting used to that.

So i would have to embroider "make america great again" on my own hat? why not just buy a hat that's *complete*, instead of some half-finished proto-hat?

(this is a joke, but one that i find funny enough to burn some karma on...)
