I worry that some senior manager will penalize me for not using the AI tooling more, or because my code output is slower. I guess I’m lucky in that people in my org know me as someone who is very careful and can see through problems, but that doesn’t mean that’ll translate to C-suite executives

I’m a senior software engineer. My company is pushing us to use AI code generation, and so far I’m not impressed at all. It’s being used a lot in test generation, especially by more junior engineers. I’m detail oriented and I’m seeing so many tests that are just…garbage.

So, mind if I ask which knives? 👀

They cook it via friction from atmospheric drag as they drive to your apartment.

Also, you know you’ve lost any semblance of moral high ground when AI companies go, “whoa, hold up, we are all for blatant thievery, but we’re not THAT evil!”

I can hope that more people will start to realize this.

Oh. Absolutely. Graham Linehan. Wrote a few British comedies (e.g. Father Ted and the IT Crowd) and then went absolutely off the rails.

Or we can just not have a special task force that costs billions of dollars and damages lives for misdemeanors.

…honestly, he’d probably ruin his career even at the DMV like he did his writing career and his marriage, with unhealthy obsession with hating trans people.

It will not, in fact, be the cheapest way to run AI. He’s so fucking dumb.

I am not jealous of the weather, but I’m very jealous of getting to say hello to those adorable Polish floofs. So cute! 🥰

I’m so sorry…but also, using AI to fill the emptiness of estrangement by your children certainly DOES feel like something Musk would design Grok to do.

…they know how many devs are neurodivergent, right?

Sure why not.

Tell me five classes you took in college.

Astrophysics.
Quantum Mechanics.
Differential Geometry.
History of the Ancient Near-East.
Philosophy of Mathematics.

You know, when you say things like this, this usually means the killer being the people saying the “heated rhetoric.” With it being reversed, it becomes just abusive victim blaming.

Fuck ICE and the rest of the Trump administration.

I’ll never trust someone with a handle like “patriotmocha” to not be a Right Wing chud.

I'm very excited about this, but someone needs to investigate the apparent correlation between Animal Crossing releases and global emergencies.

They’re like vampires. Don’t let them in. If they say they have a warrant, ask to see the warrant through the peephole. Make sure it’s signed by a judge
