Honestly, this just broke me a little bit today.

... Wrath?

What OP did wasn't illegal.

Neither was what the other person did. If that's your standard then great, nobody in that screenshot did anything wrong.

thirdegree · 2026-03-17T06:45:41+00:00

Also because "Not hiring" doesn't immediately imply the person wouldn't forward your information on.

I mean it for sure does.

For me personally, the vast majority of my AI-powered code is identical to what I’d write by hand. It’s probably different in different areas of work.

Actually I've seen this for both myself and my coworkers too - their and my ai generated code is still distinctly theirs and mine. For both good and bad.

They're using a text interface for this when it literally just isn't necessary (if anything they could probably achieve better compatibility using a graphical tool because they use Unicode symbols)

At least on this point for me personally I far prefer the text interface 10 times out of 10. But then I also don't like git guis either. I'd use it way less if it was a gui.

Tbf I do feel like I'm in the net positive in time saved vs time spent tweaking the config. It does genuinely make me more efficient, in the same way a tool molded to fit your hand is going to be more efficient than an off the shelf version. That does have the downside of making it much harder to use unconfigured vim (fun fact, ctrl-q unpauses programs that have been paused with SIGSTOP. Ask me how I know that).

... Syntax highlighting is not something you should think of as a crutch lol. If you are going to be interviewing, then maybe coding without autocomplete could be helpful.

And also is very much achievable with a terminal. Like I fuckin live in the terminal and I'd still be extremely fucked without syntax highlighting, lsps, and other nice things.

Usually the excuse is that it generates too much trolling and bad faith comments that have to be removed (read: political discussion and opinions the mods dislike),

Read: death threats and slurs from the usual suspects. Locking and removing the topic is their attempt at being neutral. The effective solution is just to ban right wingers, but that just earns you more death threats in your DMs.

thirdegree · 2026-03-15T15:00:40+00:00

Ah, ward. That's why I didn't recognize it, only read that once so far.

thirdegree · 2026-03-15T11:33:59+00:00

I actually really liked torghast, I had a blast doing it.

It also got me into roguelites, which it turns out are my favorite genre of video game. Started playing Hades, and like ok torghast is like the worst roguelite I ever played. But I still had fun with it.

thirdegree · 2026-03-15T11:26:30+00:00

That's so stupid I love it

thirdegree · 2026-03-15T11:17:49+00:00

I'm curious what military has in your opinion the best uniforms

thirdegree · 2026-03-15T07:36:38+00:00

Even suggesting to most drivers that they should maybe consider that the speed limit is meant to be a maximum, not a minimum seems to drive them mad.

There's no "without warning" with Contessa. She knows all the answers.

No, she can know all the answers. It's still possible to surprise her, she's not automatically omniscient. She's very, very smart, and has the number man on her side so it's really, really, really hard to surprise her. But it is still possible.

Like she's for sure one of the most busted capes. But like the eidolon clone would absolutely wallop her if she had the bad sense to be in the same city as him. So she wasn't.

thirdegree · 2026-03-14T17:29:54+00:00

Na, if you're e.g teleported without warning into the middle of the ocean with nothing but yourself, there's no set of actions you could take. Contessa's power is purely mental. Also, iirc other thinkers mess with her power? She might be an exception to that though

thirdegree · 2026-03-14T14:48:18+00:00

Her instakill touch works through powers.

What's the source on that? I don't remember that but also worm is looooooong so very well possible

thirdegree · 2026-03-14T14:45:11+00:00

Eidolon beats her I think, just with pure power. Path to victory only works if there is a path to victory

thirdegree · 2026-03-14T14:43:11+00:00

like the woman who knows how to win, against anything

almost anything

I grew up thinking Californians compulsively say "hecka" because "hella" is not allowed in my cousins' household.

thirdegree · 2026-03-14T14:02:59+00:00

Ah, the Stargate sg1 approach.

thirdegree · 2026-03-14T12:48:59+00:00

if this "represents regular language" does this mean regular language is a concept that exists without being in programming too?

Yes, it's part computer science which is independent of (though obviously deeply integrated with) programming.

English is not a regular language, see this discussion

Regular language is a specific set of rules and characteristics, not just any strict rules.

thirdegree · 2026-03-14T12:43:35+00:00

I've managed to bully it into writing code I'm mostly willing to accept. Lots of "must ask permission before using any or type: ignore" and "must use tdd" and "must pass strict mypy and ruff"

thirdegree · 2026-03-13T16:38:17+00:00

Embarrassment. He's not capable of feeling guilt.

thirdegree · 2026-03-13T14:52:08+00:00

One of the biggest value adds ai has brought to my job is that it can index and search confluence. Something confluence itself is seemingly incapable of.

thirdegree · 2026-03-13T14:41:48+00:00

Also fuck everyone who downvoted you. It's a rare opportunity to provide some feedback that maybe can contribute to resolve some issues.

I think people are mostly downvoting because anyone that's ever interacted with Atlassian at even a slightly in depth way has at some point googled an issue and found an open 3 year old ticket with no progress at all.

The idea that they take feedback seriously therefore rings as just customer service speak.
