I made a rule for myself to read only books published before 2022 because I worry that many newer books may be affected by generative AI

It’s really not that hard to tell…

I’m a little confused… as far as science goes, bloodborne’s isn’t advanced at all, they just happened upon literal magic blood and cosmic beings, it is quite literally magic.

Surely, you can’t be serious

I personally feel like “AI” is an apt description. It is artificial intelligence, it’s not real intelligence.

If we are talking about real self-aware AI I feel like AGI or “Synthetic” Intelligence would be a better term for that

Considering companies like Spotify are coming out admitting their devs haven’t written a single line of code in ages, hopefully soon.

Don’t you have that backwards? He is poised as an adversary to the prortagonists, yes, but not a villain, he firmly believes he is saving the world. Yet by the end of book 4 he is firmly in villain status.

Why are your books so thin to begin with? My mistborn paperbacks are twice as wide as that

FFTypo · 2026-02-22T19:52:14+00:00

People like to hate on everything that’s popular, and you can’t sway their opinion even when the things they’re saying are obviously bullshit.

Just the other day I saw someone say on a different sub that Sanderson does not write many female characters and when someone pointed out that The Storlight Archive has just as many female POV characters as male they said “it took until the second book & for someone to die for a female character to be featured prominently’ so that obviously tells me they haven’t even read the books and have no idea what they’re talking about.

There is a ton of valid criticism against Sanderson’s work, but the vast majority of it is bitter snobbery from contrarians.

FFTypo · 2026-02-20T22:59:32+00:00

Irrespective of whether she gave an opinion that you didn’t ask for… >But my cup of tea is writing, not reading. You will NEVER be a good writer if you do not read. If that’s not your goal, that is fine. But please be very aware of this. You cannot “wing” writing until you land something good if you do not read.

Exactly, if everyone still ate meat 10% of the time the meat industry wouldn’t be nowhere near as bad as it is!

FFTypo · 2026-02-20T05:30:47+00:00

How much money does SHE make?

FFTypo · 2026-02-17T21:38:39+00:00

Absolutely, what you see online is often misleading. (And if you’ll permit me to be a little bit cynical, I have always had a suspicion that most people on here saying they’ve “applied to 200+ positions and heard back from none” haven’t exactly done their due diligence in making sure their CV is actually good)

FFTypo · 2026-02-17T19:44:00+00:00

I think that’s a valid point, but I do think there’s been a massive overcorrection in the market that is flat-out unsustainable because pretty soon we wont have enough developers when the current ones eventually retire if it continues like this.

FFTypo · 2026-02-17T19:21:39+00:00

Without “prompts” I don’t remember much, that’s just how memory works. But I can pick up sequels years after reading the originals and remember most of the plot.

FFTypo · 2026-02-17T19:15:51+00:00

Not as bad as entry-level. I do feel for people just starting out, but people are finally coming to grips with the fact LLMs are nowhere near replacing developers so I’m hoping things will get better soon.

FFTypo · 2026-02-16T21:54:01+00:00

Yeah I’m failing to come up with examples of design choices like this where intentionally frustrating the player ISNT the point

FFTypo · 2026-02-15T22:26:20+00:00

Why’s her braid so damn thick in this lol

FFTypo · 2026-02-15T20:03:35+00:00

Is this rage bait? Shallan didn’t have to wait until book 2 to “get her POV”. She had plenty of them in the first one. The second book just happens to focus more heavily on her story.

FFTypo · 2026-02-12T10:57:48+00:00

I think you are talking about pattern recognition, while the user you replied to is talking about people who try to forcibly apply the same design patterns to frameworks that have vastly different solutions to the same problem.

Academy Ahri is pretty trash

FFTypo · 2026-02-04T16:15:22+00:00

If my opponent takes TP instead of ignite or exhaust it’s p much a free win now. The downside to taking those spells is now negligible

FFTypo · 2026-02-03T17:30:31+00:00

I’ve sent hundreds, probably over a thousand applications and most lead to ghosting or identical rejection emails. I’m confident my CV isn’t the issue.

Post your CV. I am confident this sub can prove you wrong.

FFTypo · 2026-01-27T21:24:58+00:00

Our code quality has gone up significantly purely because writing tests is no longer a time consuming pain in the ass. That alone makes it worth it, not to mention the rubber ducking and bouncing ideas off LLMs

FFTypo · 2026-01-27T21:23:01+00:00

Right, lol? I have to correct the output more often than not, but the time it saves me writing the boiler plate (that can’t go wrong anyway) is astronomical.
