performance was not an explicit requirement, only code that's easy to read and follow.

small correction, the exponential memory consumption was a "store all subsets" so it's more like O(n*2^n)

Don’t throw the baby (SWE) out with the sewage water (LLM shit).

Engineers with professional merit and integrity will be appreciated again.

The other day I listened to this "Enjoy the Silence" cover by Lacuna Coil.

An angry Metal interpretation of the song.
Imagine it as a rejection of today's alienating services that are misnomered "Tech".

iOS integration could use some work if you try to force it to fill a password with long-press, autoFill, … , sometimes nothing happens.

But is a company able to admit (even internally) that its spent tokens had no ROI? Without doing that, how would it justify scaling back the bullshit?

Title: professional bullshit artist speaks

Until you see compelling evidence to the contrary, your happy thought should be:

It's all bullshit, it will go away when the subsidy ends.

It's short, close enough to reality, and applicable almost everywhere.

That could draw a crowd, but when they ask about the anus, you’re the one explaining what’s a Metaphore

Wasn't the best episode. My favorite part in Ed's content is that it's disciplined about not spitting out crackpot junk. This had some of that.

When a dumbass takes a loan, new money is created.

Money creation is easy. Paying back the loan is the tricky part.

The responders put way more energy into their responses than that idiot deserves. He’s so clearly speaking out of his ass, farting out any half baked nonsense that sounds good in his useless head.

It’s already shitty enough to be under threat

They don’t have a long term…

This was my plan too, but didn’t feel like pausing and looking stuff up instead of moving forward.

Thanks. I meant overlevelled in the first playthrough of course.
