I will never understand why we looked at modern programming, saw that there is a good bit, which is programming, and a bad bit, which is code review… and decided to automate the good bit at the expense of having to do a lot more of the bad bit.

@samir Instead of getting a robot that does the laundry and washes dishes so I can spend my time being creative, I get a thing that fakes creativity so I can spend my time doing laundry and washing dishes.

This is the most disappointing dystopia possible.

@MyLittleMetroid It very much is. (But I have a robot that does my laundry and another that washes my dishes, except my fancy frying pan, and it’s reasonably likely you do too.)
@samir Ok we're very much past the "walk down to the river and spend half a day" era of laundry but it still is a process that requires significant human supervision.

@MyLittleMetroid It is true, I could go for more automation!

What I really want is a bathroom-cleaning robot. I hate cleaning the bathroom.
