It's true that the fuckers that stayed in PHP now are getting paid insane amounts of money to maintain systems? I've heard they are the new cobol people.
I use either debian with plasma, or mint with cinnamon. Why? Because it fucking works out of the box and I can use my computer. I rarely customize my DE. I usually end up customizing my terminal more.
The thing is without this, if you somehow exit steam, you are toast and need to plug a keyboard or access via ssh. Having a DE with controller support like this would indeed rock, as I stop depending on steam for launching things.
"Quien te dió vela en este entierro?", en Argentina. Se puede asumir que es algo de hispanoamerica al menos. Also, maybe it's better to translate it like "you don't have a candle in this funeral" maybe? I don't know if english speaking people hold a vigil for the dead like we do. Burial while is a more direct translation, I don't think it really represents the spirit of the adage.
Eh, I get you, but the guy is my lead, and I'm a senior member. There is a bit of office politics involved here. My corporate-fu is not that good. Also there is a push to use AI tools from the top of the chain of command. I hate this, so much, but I need bring it in a more casual and friendly conversation.
The tech lead at my team started using AI to do code reviews he can't be bothered to properly do himself. His suggestions during reviews are now shit. I hate the future. I'm seriously thinking on taking a leadership position just because how much I hate this dynamic, to shield others and discourage AI usage from a higher ground.
Great summary. I would add not using LLMs to learn something new. As OP mentioned, when you know your stuff, you are aware of how much it bullshits. What happens when you don't know? You eat all the bullshit because it sounds good. Or you will end up with a vibed codebase you can't fully understand because you didn't reason to produce it. It's like driving a car and having a shitty copilot that sometimes hallucinates roads, and if you don't know where you are supposed to be, wherever that copilot takes you would look good. You lack the context to judge the results or advice.
I basically use it now days as a semantic search engine of documentation. Talking with documentation is the coolest. If the response doesn't come with a doc link, it's probably not worth it. Make it point to the human input, make it help you find things you don't know the name of, but never trust the output without judging. In my experience, making it generate code that you end up correcting it's more cognitive heavy load than to write it yourself from scratch.
