Wait, wait, wait. I didn't realize this before. Who the F needs to lie about not having a CS degree? Being a code monkey is (or at least used to be) something, where you can get away with not having a degree.

I unfortunately do understand. I think there are severe tradeoffs between living a good life and living a virtuous life. Most people usually compromise to lesser or greater degree and find ways to cope with that. Nihilism is one way.

I think I understand it. Think of an alcoholic that's trying every sort of miracle hangover "cure" instead of drinking less.

Two thoughts:

That this is not just some random AI generated graphic, but from official Microsoft tutorial is unpleasantly unsurprising.

I think the tinm (timn ?) axis goes the wrong way.

Regret? I dunno, a rat being harassed by a clanker seems fitting.

Groan, you don't need to finish high school to learn about false dichotomy.

I'm curious though how much vibe coding and AI mandates are responsible for the latest disaster of a patch. Or if they are all just results of disfunctional company culture.

The demand is real. People have seen what an unrestricted personal digital assistant can do.

The demand is real. People have seen what crack cocaine can do.

Dang, I want to find this article more relatable than I do. Most software I have dev experience with doesn't have the problem of relying on automated tests too much, but the exact opposite.

And while I very much write tests for the dopamine high and false sense of security green checkmarks provide, I still prefer that to the real sense of un-security of not having tests.

I think I installed the cursed Windows 11 update on my work machine, because after taking several tries to boot, my second monitor stopped working (detected, but showing a black screen).

Tried some different configurations, and could make only 0-1 screens work.

Uninstalled the update and everything worked correctly again.

Thanks for nothing Microslop.

Via YouTube recommends, I came across this video about our favorite crypto pivot to ai NeoCloud data center company CoreWeave

How CoreWeave is near insolvency

Interestingly, the author is an LLM shill as evidenced by the video being caked with a hefty layer of copium.

Seems to have struck a nerve amongst the commentariat which didn't appreciate this kind of "FUD".
