This. I’m fine with auto complete, snippets and llm suggestions. But I still need to read and review and, critically, comphrend the code. I always review it’s work, and most often make changes that I know are better practices.


For some reason your comment reminded me of that ol’ Tim Robinson ditty.
The skeletons will pull your hair. Up, but not out.
Also wouldn’t his hair be like… permanently greasy? The only guy who’s hair might be worse (other than trump but that’s not hair as much as it is a region of spacetime that has a few more ppm of alpha helix protein than the hard vacuum) is Nutlick now that he has that gangsta-ass mullet.


Is it worth chiming in that I’ve personally never seen any image or facsimile of that thing that is in any way, shape, or form flattering to the subject matter?

Fascism. They looove the taste of boot leather.


Sorry, who?
I checked, but the only memorable Kirk I can dredge up from my memory (which is where I store facts about people worth remembering) is that of James Tiberius Kirk, captain of the USS Enterprise.


The Romans devalued their currency too. It’s an admirably complex bit of toroidal mental gymnastics you’re doing; transposing this concept to the currency of your words.


All that happens is more gpus spin up though. Just more waste. It’s indefensible.
Yeah I also don’t notice it if we’re friends. It’s the assumption of familiarity that bugs me/feels disrespectful, I think…
“Bro” or any variation thereof that assumes familiarity where none exists.
The artifice offends.

Fuck banks. This is why I credit union.
-Trump, probably.
