Or my favorite quote from the article

"I am going to have a complete and total mental breakdown. I am going to be institutionalized. They are going to put me in a padded room and I am going to write... code on the walls with my own feces," it said.

Is it doing this because they trained it on Reddit data?

That explains it, you can't code with both your arms broken.

If they did it on Stackoverflow, it would tell you not to hard boil an egg.

Someone has already eaten an egg once so I’m closing this as duplicate

Jquery has egg boiling already, just use it with a hard parameter.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Jquery boiling is considered bad practice, just eat it raw.

Why are you even using jQuery anyway? Just use the eggBoil package.
