Someone heard about IBM providing punch card machines for Auschwitz and thought that was insufficiently banal.

Why not Kamchatka?

Did they.

I understand why startups want cloud services. Don’t know why a group that reached the top of the s-curve a decade ago wants to pad Microsoft’s or google’s or Amazon’s profits.

I suppose shard(t)ing, but wouldn’t a CDN be a better fit? Maybe GDPR.

Enshiteifying.

Stack Overflow no longer has any physical datacenters

Do they think cloud services are literally non-corporal?

Has the cloud rug-pull happened yet or are they waiting for some recession to jack up prices?

Why.

I’ve caught “professionals” pasting code from from forums and StackOverflow. Of course people are just blindly using LLMs the same way. Incredibly naive to think people aren’t already and won’t do so more in the future.

Ad hominem.

Of course that’s what they’re doing. That’s the whole point. Generate a bunch of plausible-looking BS and move on.

Writing one UT (actually writing, not pressing tab) gives you ideas for other tests.

And unit tests are not some boring chore. When doing TDD, they help inform and guide the design. If the LLM is doing that thinking for you, too, you’re just flying blind. “Yeah, that looks about right.”

Can’t wait for this shit to show up in medical devices.

Someone told me the best use of AI was writing unit tests and I died on the inside.

Only if you don’t have a fax.

CrossFit.

Writing code is the easiest part of my job. Why are you taking that away?

If this is how we achieve class consciousness, so be it.

They’re extreme at the limits.

Why don’t they use AI to replace human AI developers?

Licking Trump’s ass clean.

They’re at least brave enough to not hide their faces in shame.

Why.
