Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 30th March 2025
  • As someone living in Switzerland for over 6 years, the labor laws aren't exactly like in the rest of Europe and people are sometimes a bit too much on the freedumb side of things. Also weird german or (possibly less weird, I don't speak it) french and high cost of living.

    Then again, it's not anywhere as bad as what's happening in the us

  • Yeah, I agree. I think that this argument that is made there is a false. The logic error imo is claiming this statement is true: things get cheaper as they get used more, therefore if we make it used more, it will get cheaper.

  • Second observation is that when a thing gets cheaper it's used more, i.e. they'll be pushing even harded to shove it into everything.

    Are they trying to imply that when they will make it cheaper by shoving it everywhere? I honestly can't see how that logic is holding together

  • If the purpose of a metric is to show adoption, the metric can be defined in a way to show adoption. Could be just an effect of promo driven culture, AI push and good'ol Goodhart's law.

    Like, how do you even measure when code is ai authored and when not. If you insert 25% of a variable name and the autocompleter guesses the rest of the name correctly, are the remaining 75% AI generated?
