It’s a tool.

(if you persist to stay with this dogshit idiotic "opinion":) please crawl into a hole and stay there

fucking what the fuck is with you absolute fucking morons and not understand the actual literal concept of tools

read some fucking history goddammit

(hint: the amorphous shifting blob, with a non-reliable output, not a tool; alternative, please, go off about how using a php hammer is definitely the way to get a screw in)

My opinion is it can be good when used narrowly.

ah, as narrowly as I intend to regard your opinion? got it

(not in the compute side, but in the lying-obstructionist hustle side)

way too much effort

ah I do believe I have the link for this

example mvp: hook up your linter/LSP/CI-errors-output to buttplug

I, too, segfaulted on this one

yeah, the "some projects" bit is applicable, as is the "machine generated" phrasing

@gsuberland pointed out elsewhere on fedi just how much of the VS-/MS- ecosystem does an absolute fucking ton of code generation

(which is entirely fine, ofc. tons of things do that and it exists for a reason. but there's a canyon in the sand between A and B)

you sound like a fucking awful teammate. it's not your job to nitpick and bikeshed everything they do, it's your job to help them grow

"you need to code review everything" motherfucker if you're saying this in context only of your juniors then you have a massive organisational problem

same here, but I’ll pop the link to some euros I know

sounds like you figured out the referenced problem for yourself already

yeah someone elsewhere on awful linked issue a few days ago, and throughout many of his posts he pulls that kind of stunt the moment he gets called on his shit

he also wrote a 21.KiB screed very huffily saying one of the projects’ CoC has failed him

long may his PRs fail

you may find, on actually going through the linked post/video, that this is in fact mentioned in there already

that's fair - the first half of my post was certainly more about me than anything (but was also an indication as to why I don't hear that particular angle much - I've also ensured I get as little as possible advertising in my life)

other part: nah still, fuck schneier

rest of your comment reminds me of the tact filters post (albeit in a different angle)

Ah, I don’t listen to riskybiz because ugh podcast

Schneier’s a dipshit well past his prime, though. people should stop listening to that ossified doorstop

I ended up doing a messy copypasta of the blog through wc -c: 21574

dude was so peeved at getting told no (after continually wasting other peoples' time and goodwill), he wrote a 21.5KiB screed just barely shy of full-on DARVO (and, frankly, I'm being lenient here only because of perspective (of how bad it could've been))

as Soyweiser also put it: a bit of a spelunk around the rest of his blog is also Quite Telling in what you may find

fuck this guy comprehensively, long may his commits be rejected

(e: oh I just saw Soyweiser also linked to that post, my bad)

his was my feeling a bit how it was used basically in security fields already

curious about this reference - wdym?

I was vacillating on reply harshness, but "hey tell me when you're home" ... some people just need to get better with informed consent.

(agree that this probably wasn't banworthy (yet), but close)

nah, there's definitely an actual something there - there's concrete actual physical extra silicon, with a design and a (marketing?) purpose

even better: opt-in, over opt-out

none of these fuckers want to go for that, because it'd make their darling shitpile look oh so bad

but it's also a stark thing: ~20y ago tech actually asked first, and (mostly) fucked off if you told it to

the way a lot of tech companies approach consent (and how users have been primed following that) right now is some mad toxic fucked up bullshit

the fuck? please go be weird somewhere else
