Not now. But eventually? Probably. Or the cool thinking jobs will all be automated and we’ll be left with menial labor. Idk man, maybe it’ll be a eutopia, but I don’t see much benevolence from those controlling things. Anyways, I wasn’t looking for an argument about distant possibilities. I was just saying I don’t want to lose my job that I spent decades mastering to a machine. I didn’t expect that to be a hot take.

Wtf are you talking about? Get a grip, homey. I’m not saying others should suffer. Do you really think that the power of AI is going to result in the average person not having to work? Fuck no. It’s going to result in like 5 people having all the money and everyone else fighting over garbage to eat. Shiet, man. I’m talking about wanting to not be unemployed and starving, same goes for everyone else soon enough. Would I prefer a life without work and still having adequate resources? Of course! But I live in this world, not a fantasy world.

Listen bub, I don’t have time for this Mickey mouse bullshit!

Dude… Just write a python script that makes small changes to white space every few seconds and commits them.

I give instructions to AI like I would to a brand new junior programmer, and it gives me back code that’s usually better than a brand new junior programmer. It still needs tweaking, but it saves me a lot of time. The drawback is that coding knowledge atrophy occurs pretty rapidly, and I’m worried that I’m going to forget how to write code without the AI. I guess that I don’t really need to worry about that, since I doubt AI is going anywhere anytime soon.

True, but the rate at which it is improving is quite worrisome for me and my coworkers. I don’t want to be made obsolete after working my fucking ass off to get to where I am. I’m starting to understand the Luddites.

Agile has some good principles, but too often projects are delayed to support the process, when the process exists to support the projects. When a team is more focused on stand-ups and burn down charts than they are on shipping software, then they’re no longer agile. Unfortunately that is what happens to a lot of teams that decide to use Agile.

Ticket 24987: “Do the needful”

You didn’t say the safe word! The lessons continue.

What are you gonna do? Shoot me?

Your loss!

My kind of evening…

Isn’t Cyberduck a paid program though? I remember trying it, but I can’t remember why I went back to filezilla. I thought it was because my trial for Cyberduck expired.

True story, bruh.

I learned during some child development classes I took in college that you shouldn’t give your child the opportunity to lie to you, since it establishes a negative pattern of behavior and mistrust. Instead of confronting them by asking them if they’re doing the thing you know they’re doing, confront them by telling them you know they’re doing the thing and show them why you know. Sure, they may learn how to cover their tracks better as a result, but it eliminates a lot of arguing and prevents a cycle of lying.

This is the true story of my life. I’m still working towards that last cell.

That’s awesome! How did you make the joints? Do you do it manually, or use a machine? It seems like it would be very difficult to get it right just using regular saws and routers.

Will you organize my garage for $50?

It’s amazing how well the outrage trick works, considering the billions of times it has been played.
