I was actually describing a piece of software, which is not considered a human being, and can in fact be treated differently without any legal or philosophical confusion

No you have to run them through an elaborate model first, then it’s totally legit to use someone else’s literal words as if they were your own
Yeah it sucks. If the commits are really helpful, you can just paste the git log into the PR/MR/CR body after it’s been merged
Depends, but usually I will put in the effort up front and maybe tweak them in an in[eractive rebase, or just manually copy+paste.
If they’re worth saving. Sometimes you have to kill your darlings though
Principle developer tip: rewrite history to make yourself seem smarter.
Soft reset the whole branch and commit a series of atomic and semantic patches (eg separating code, test, and refactor changes) that tell a clean narrative of the changeset to reviewers, future blamers.
Thanks I have heard of this kind of problem before, just not in an adversarial space war context, with like opposing forces
Oh my god, that’s such a stupid and simple way to kill a galaxy, but also what a great plot twist that would make in a story. Like the big reveal over why the galaxy has always been at war with itself. Exactly the kind of nihilism I’d expect from an Altered Carbon or its ilk.
Thanks for sharing!
This is it. The real product is hype, with a tiny tiny little kernel of actual utility, that is puffed up and remixed until the hype dies away, and we have to make do with whatever’s left.*
The hype machine with generative shit went into fuckin overdrive because while yes there is a grift component, natch; unlike with blockchain, nfts, web3, etc, there is an actual visible thing that the technology can do that hasn’t been done before.
People who are used to selling nothing but vapour lost their minds when they saw it, because rightfully so, they realised how much grift they were going to be able to make off of it.
* Usually this involves a bunch of platform engineers et al de-tooling codebases and infrastructure.
Right? This question is basically asking for a list of games I love, excluding the ones that somehow tricked me into finishing them
Yeah that’s relatable. It’s so easy to pick apart someone else’s words when you’re just passively observing, but when it’s you in the moment…
You don’t write your grocery list on a bit of paper stuck to the fridge…? I thought that was downright universal
Did they mean “and be doing so insinuate” I wonder? Initiate makes some sense too, just odd phrasing.
Anyway! I’m getting sidetracked lol! Haven’t even watched the video yet. Thanks for sharing the quote
Nah I’m into it
Haha nice, I guess I should post some stuff, get it back on folks’ radars
I think we all had that first moment where copilot generates a good snippet, and we were blown away. But having used it for a while now, I find most of what it suggests feels like jokes.
Like it does save some typing / time spent checking docs, but you have to be very careful to check its work.
I’ve definitely seen a lot more impressively voluminous, yet flawed pull requests, since my employer started pushing for everyone to use it.
I foresee a real reckoning of unmaintainable codebases in a couple years.
I agree with your parenthetical, but Wikipedia actually agrees on your main point: Wikipedia itself is not a source of truth.
I do! Thanks for the link
Just started a writing club in !writing@slrpnk.net so I’m partial to it. But it is very quiet there.
I’ve got vague designs on livening the place up, so it’s been in my thoughts a bit.
This and bike shedding.
