It feels like returning to the origins, now with the excuse that it's good for the robots.

Step 1: Follow these best practices, they really help humans develop and maintain software.

Step 2: Whatever, we will just be "agile" and humans need to deal with it or get fired.

Step 3: Follow these best practices, they really help robots develop and maintain software.

Somehow "it reduces token usage" is more important than "it prevents developer burnout".

I kinda get it. To massively simplify: Without AI, your choice is 8 days implementing, or 5 days planning/designing/refactoring and 5 days implementing. With AI, your choice is 5 days wrestling with the AI to implement, or 4 days planning/designing/refactoring and 1 day with the AI to implement. I made up those numbers but the general idea is that good practices have a lot more leverage with AI, since the make the implementation "free".

The fact that CS students use electricity is already outrageous enough.

Neither does being unable to solve test questions. That's probably even worse.

Saying "there are models of ZFC where CH holds as well as models where it doesn't hold" sounds to me like talking about truth.

If I say "there are countries with an access to a sea, and there are also countries without an access to a sea" does it mean that there is no truth about whether seas exist or not?

But "executive assistant" is not the same as "safety researcher". Even if it's normal for the former, it is weird for the latter.

You can simply retaliate, without explaining for what. Or you can make up an excuse.

Or there is Esperanto, which can be learned at 10% of the time and effort.

One or two years at school would be enough, which means that the entire problem could be fixed in a year.

But that's not how things work in real life. Just because something is a good idea doesn't mean it's going to happen.

Esperanto has been dead for decades. English is the world's lingua franca in trade, science and technology.

The idea that a language, any language, can be learned in a year or two is not consistent with observation. Just think of any immigrant you have ever ran into in real life.

> using un-introduced abbreviations (bonus points for abbreviations that have common meanings, e.g.: EG, NB, IE, ETC)

Every company should give their new employees a list of in-company invented words and abbreviations, so that you don't search for them online and then feel like an idiot for not being able to find them. Especially when the older employees use them as if they are common knowledge.

Yep. Cooking is a great example of a work that can take a lot of your time and energy without giving you muscles or helping you lose weight.

Of course it does. It alone does not make you a body builder, but compare the average person who does regular cooking with those who do not but eat fast food.

I know plenty of overweight chefs.

And I also know plenty of ripped folks who hardly ever cook. Granted, they don't only eat fast food, but quite a lot of it.

That means all jobs that didn't involve ritual sacrifice.
