this is pedantic lol

i know plenty of iranians. they are not white passing in america.


and similarly, the need for slack in software teams

It costs money, but I've been enjoying my Pangram subscription for this. Saves me slop on the internet and confirms whether or not my colleagues' words are what i'm reading or not.

wait so not using GenAI makes you persona non grata in "tech" now?

nobody tell my boss


It is a tool in a tool box. If a technician avoided a tool outright, I would (and do) question their biases.

Every technician or craftsman develops some strong opinions about which tools are good tools and which tools are bad tools.

Some tools should be avoided outright, because they're bad tools. You can hammer nails in with a rock, making it a tool, but I wouldn't question the biases of a craftsman who avoided using rocks in their work. I use LLMs for work, but your statement here doesn't hold water at all.

Big Hammer wants to replace all your tools with Hammers and OP is right along with them

A nuclear weapon is a tool in a tool box. And nobody's used it since WWII for a good reason.

regular people have access to this?

what if i think the tool is mostly crap?

why are you responding to a person like it is an LLM?

i have programmed a dozen scripts with google search AI lol

they'll live in my rc for decades


Ah yup for quick one-off one-liners or small Bash script, Gemini works perfectly fine too. For longer scripts I use another model.

constantly using tech to launder responsibility. it's disgusting, really.

Not just reserves, but also all the oil already on ships slowly making its way to its destination. I think I even saw someone predict that around September, the oil issue would get worse due to how slowly those ships move.


how convenient

the rust community is trash tho. such bad personalities all around. "mirrors" the issues with the nix community tbh..

I agree that the rust community tends to be pretty toxic, but I don't think that is a good reason to avoid tools just because they use rust under the hood. You don't have to participate in the git dev community, let alone the rust community, to use git as your VCS.

I think one thing about git needing rust (or python or Perl) is that each language dependency adds another good sized chunk of storage for the language and its tools/packager, I have a relatively light project using Tauri Svelte and code mirror, my build directory/cache becomes 18gb in the blink of an eye, that's a whole bloated modern operating system as a side effect of building a text editor, I should just wrap webkit-GTK around a redbean with some js libs in a directory, script the middleware in Lua and call it a day :D And don't get me wrong I like the development workflow with Tauri, it feels very performant, and easy to reason with, just the sheer disk space makes me boggle!
