There was a human reply at the end:

I've just taken all the pkg pages down. pkgx is about running pkgs, we put up the pkg pages as a bonus for our users to help them. We chose AI generation to give us more time to work on the tool because that's what we care about.

They don’t matter to our mission and honestly we’re a little confused about this reaction. We respect your opinions and are sorry we upset so many by using AI.

Can't say I hugely love that reaction from the dev

There's so much pkg that all I could thinkg about in those first 2 sentences was the old "Yo dawg, i heard you like" meme

I assume that's so others can more easily downvote it. This was common on discord bots too, it's just an easy select menu.

He had an interview with Google and they asked him to invert a binary tree, which is essentially taking a tree of data and swapping the positions of all sibling nodes.

While most people agreed it was a pretty pointless question to ask at an interview, mxcl had a full "don't you know who I am" shit fit on social media.

Thanks for the advice. I was already pretty sure that learning DSA would take my programing to the next level, my previous algorithms have been thoughtful but could definitely be improved.

I've done some haskell for school, I must say the quick sort was quite impressive and the language itself was interesting. Lisp on the other hand seems really crazy ; I've done some for my emacs config but the things I'm reading from the sources are from another world, I'll read the elisp introduction some day and maybe I'll become one of those magicians lol

I don't really use AI but I could ask for some advice on my next school project I guess. Do you ask it for straight up code or a more global archetecture ?

How? How are you confused? You have been misrepresenting peoples project. It's mind boggling. I'm more than a little confused about your confusion.
