Doesn’t look like there are any signs of anabolic, nor is his physique egregious

You’re being hired as one, so I don’t understand what all this contempt is for. I didn’t realize you hated your profession so much.

Lmao.

Yes, I hate software engineering because I don’t derive spiritual fulfillment from manually performing every mechanical step involved in producing software artifacts.

Do you compile by hand too, or is there an artisanal exemption for that?

I like the part of my profession where I solve problems. I don’t need to cosplay as a 14th-century fucking stonemason every time a rectangle needs moving.

If you spend only 30-seconds looking at my 20-line changes, I’m just going to skip you and hit the merge button myself. What value add are you possibly providing. A check mark?

This is incredible.

Do you believe code review has a minimum billable duration?

If you change a conditional from && to || and I understand the surrounding code, how many minutes must I stare at it before my review becomes artisanal enough for you?

Should I set a timer?

"Sorry guys, found the bug after 17 seconds, but Dave says recognizing correctness faster than producing it is impossible, so I’m going to stare at the diff for another 14 minutes to add value."

You are once again accidentally demonstrating the exact distinction you’re arguing doesn’t exist.

You did not mean that the AI would discover these connections for you

No, you absolute turnip.

And notice how you’ve quietly changed the argument again.

The original claim was that sufficiently describing an output approaches the effort of producing it.

Now apparently AI only saves time if it discovers information I don’t know.

Those aren’t remotely the same claim.

Also, why the fuck would my prompt be:

Service A connects to service B. Service A connects to service C. Service B connects to service D…

I can point the agent at the fucking codebase.

"Trace the request flow starting at this controller and produce a Mermaid sequence diagram. These five services are relevant."

There. Done.

Then I read the diagram and compare it against a system I already understand.

Sometimes it’ll find something I forgot. Sometimes it’ll fuck something up. Sometimes I’ll correct it. Sometimes I’ll throw the whole thing away because the output is garbage.

This really isn’t the metaphysical crisis you’re desperately trying to turn it into.

This has been my experience every fucking time.

OH.

There it is.

After all the topology and continua and grand theories of craftsmanship, we’ve finally reached the actual argument:

"I tried AI tools, they produced results below my standards, and correcting them took me longer than doing the work myself."

That’s completely reasonable!

Seriously. That’s a perfectly coherent reason for you not to use them for those tasks.

You could have said that about six comments ago and saved us both the TED Talk about the ontology of requirements.

Where you keep disappearing up your own ass is taking "this tool does not produce useful results in my workflows" and promoting it into "therefore anyone getting productivity from it must produce shit work and doesn’t care about their craft."

Maybe your tasks are different.

Maybe your standards are different.

Maybe the tools work better on my codebase.

Maybe I’m better at identifying tasks where they’re useful.

Maybe I’m better at operating them.

Maybe I’m producing absolute dogshit and haven’t realized it.

All of those are empirical possibilities.

But you’ve somehow excluded every explanation except the one where you’re an artisan and everyone getting value from the tool is a lazy philistine destroying software engineering.

I would ban you from my repos so fucking fast.

Oh no.

Anyway, while you’re guarding the sacred garden from the buzzards, I’ll continue doing the intellectually demanding work myself and automating whatever boring shit I can get a machine to do reliably.

If it produces garbage, I don’t use it.

If it saves me 30 minutes, I do.

It’s called using tools.

You somehow turned it into a fucking personality type.

I feel like there are various pieces of cinema pointing out why this is very fucking problematic

Nice, one more OS where I can choose to not use it.

That’s literally the first time I heard that hungarian version, that’s not what we use, we use “az isten háta mögött” which is “behind gods back” to refer to places in bumfuck nowhere

Why spend money on housing them when you can instead (i assume) employ someone to keep to anti-homeless benches on schedule and pay consultants extraorbitant fees to help you design anti-homeless parks

Chernobyl is great, but if you look into it’s basically retelling russian propaganda that this was individuals fault rather than a matter of when not if tragedy.

Anyways best shows:

If you replaced all the corn that’s being grown for bio-fuels with photovoltaics you could meet the energy needs of the US, technology connections has a great video

Fun fact: in my country (Slovakia) it’s totally legal to download things. It’s the uploading it back that’s seen as illegal, so as long as you have a paid private torrent site where you can hit’n’run you are not breaking any laws.

Sounds like they're Hungering for new leadership.

They are Hungary for new leadership was right there, just how bad are you at puns?

I don’t, my day us shifted, so I commute later, instead of like an hour and a half my commute is 50 minutes (which is still a lot for a European) but in exchange I live in my hometown

Why would a Finnish politician live in New Zealand?

I love Man of Steel, needed a bit better editing (because his conflict between helping humanity or not is undermined by pretty early on by helping those offshore workers) but otherwise I think it’s a pretty good movie.

I have had to do the termination not that long ago, it’s not that great for the other side either, thanking them for joining and not avoiding the meeting is mot insincere, it would be way more awkward if the employee would be avoiding the meeting
