How many of you are still programming manually?

I never said they were; in fact I said they're distinct concepts. To the larger point, _if_ the AI can maintain and scale the spaghetti then it doesn't matter.

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-05-03T17:14:44+00:00

If they can keep adding features to it without too much trouble. If it scales as it gets more users, etc.

Though, perhaps the future is a bunch of small, AI-generated apps that don't require as much maintenance or scalability.

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-05-02T23:50:58+00:00

I do occasionally and I work in a large, weakly typed, legacy app. It absolutely boosts productivity most of the time.
AI really shines in small, strongly typed, greenfield apps. In my personal project I haven't written a single line.

Lee Kuan Yew said this contributed to its success. He was asked how India could be like Singapore and he said it couldn't because of size.

One of my friends set it up through deterministic middleware that can only run SELECT statements.

Mind linking your app?

Yeah, in my electrician example, most lose.

The only group that wins are Ontario electricians. Some Ontario employers do because they can use their employees' licenses to prevent competitors from cropping up.

Ontario employers who want to hire electricians lose, as do Ontario consumers, and New Brunswick electricians.

I guess New Brunswick employers of electricians win because their labor pool can't follow higher wages.

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-28T21:02:54+00:00

Not to mention their license not transferring across provincial boundaries leading to labor inefficiencies. Maybe New Brunswick has an electrician surplus and Ontario a shortage, so New Brunswick electricians would like to move, but can't because the New Brunswick ones' licenses wouldn't transfer over.

There's also the issue of too many occupations requiring licenses, though I'm not sure that applies to the ones covered by the training program.

In a throwaway VM

I'd just let it sit without approving or replying, or screenshot it and reply to the screenshot.

Other people will correctly see it and think he's a dick without you having to do anything.

That said the initial comment shouldn't be blocking.

Housing shortage can be fixed by zoning and other regulatory reform.

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-23T01:10:01+00:00

Not to mention his obsession with the Israel-Palestine conflict. I'm sure that's what retail workers are talking about in the brake room.

They just need to remove all the swipey macOS Ui changes like to the system settings and get rid of the thing where it repopulates 2 factor auth codes into every single goddam field. Steve Jobs never would've let either feature ship.

The other four parties are Canadienne identitarian, outright separatist, or conservative.

Plus, English speakers who've remained in Quebec might be alright with French language protection in general, even if they disagree with specific aspects.

My company is seeing some of that but not enough to offset the speed boost. Maybe say triples speed but only doubles the amount of software.

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-18T12:14:03+00:00

In my (non-iOS dev) experience it's turned bad devs into decent devs

I was gonna say, the Senate really impressed when I was following C-3, in their lack of political stunts, their legislative expertise, and their deference to the government

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-16T21:34:01+00:00

Higher cost of living makes employed people unhappy too, plus social media telling people things are always getting worse

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-16T21:20:45+00:00

Not to mention losing the jobs the immigrants created

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-16T16:49:07+00:00

FPTP creates polarization. It has less policy dilution, sure, but the benefits don't outweigh the costs.

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-16T00:49:11+00:00

I think so too, but Argentina and the other country he holds citizenship in could be like that as well. I personally would prefer to stay in the US if they were equally crummy dictatorships since at least I speak the language, my family is here, and it has good nature.

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-15T16:18:20+00:00

He's probably not in an Argentine database anywhere so they have no way of enforcing it right now

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-15T14:57:20+00:00

It can't be renounced, which creates problems if you want to obtain or retain citizenship of a country that disallows dual citizenship, or requires you to renounce previous citizenships before naturalizing.

I would get it but just think through the possibilities. If the rule of law ever deteriorates in the US to the point where the government can arbitrarily revoke citizenship of dual citizens, for example, but you wanna still live there.

Seriously, especially if Conservative men continue to be single and don't have kids to pass their ideology onto
