ai slop


you literally don't have to. you can literally just keep doing your job the way that you always have.

I probably won't have a job for much longer if I do that, unfortunately

I don't think that is true.

To be clear I think AI coding agents are massively over hyped and turn code bases into unmaintainable buggy messes... I hate them.

But "leadership" everywhere has AI psychosis and at my company I expect I'd eventually be let go if I refused to use it.


I don't know, I'm not convinced with this argument.

The "ugly" version with the switch seems much preferable to me. It's simple, works, has way less moving parts and does not require complex machinery to be built into the language. I'm open to being convinced otherwise but as it stands I'm not seeing any horrible problems with it.


Switch is fine until you hit five or six states with cleanup in each branch. Then it's just a worse version of what coroutines give you for free.


sucks that opera is no longer with us. used to be my go-to browser before Firefox and eventually chrome...


no. it was the first question I asked and was given a satisfactory explanation (along the lines of, "this adds things to your program that help it write text to the screen.")


That's not even remotely satisfactory if we're talking about understanding what we're doing


this story would make a killer asianometry video


CSI parody style?

I'm most familiar with software and home electronics debugging, but it would be wonderful to hear some stories from other disciplines where a culprit is found, and also about the forensic tools specific to other domains.


Good to find another fan of asianometry channel ;)

I agree, this story above would be a perfect for another asianometry document.


this is such disappointing clickbait. i thought it was a hardware product.


mmap is not a language feature. it is also full of its own pitfalls that you need to be aware of. recommended reading: https://db.cs.cmu.edu/mmap-cidr2022/


Good.
