@[email protected] adding comments often can be more of a liability than they're worth. It means that the next person has to update the comments when they update the code.

Worst of all, comments are unstructured, so you can't easily track where code or comments are referenced by comments in a different place.

@shafik why put A B C when you could just put the options on the poll?

I sure am glad we automated creativity! Now we have more time to... uh.... hmm...

Hey - wasn't life supposed to be about creativity?

Almost everything positive about LLMs you see today is based on extremely unreliable evidence, much of it from some of the most dishonest people you’ll find in tech (cryptocoiners, effective altruists, etc.)

Given that these models are obscenely power-hungry during a global climate crisis it’s my opinion that integrating these tools into your daily work is inherently unethical and irresponsible

@presidentbeef takes me back to head first java
@lorddimwit Java in general has an over engineered ecosystem
@blaue_Fledermaus I don't think that's controversial but unfortunately browser support is nonexistent for any lighter protocols. It's not often that it can be worth supplying a parser in terms of bundle size. Type safety at the protocol level is also just awesome.
@trevorflowers @politics UBI isn't a real solution to the problem of poverty because it doesn't change class structure. UBI can be easily undone in a round of austerity or made ineffective by inflation, so it's not an alternative to capital redistribution.
@youronlyone @autistics @actuallyautistic Great thought experiment. For me, being openly autistic means not to fear or hide the problems that it gives me. Even if I don't say I'm autistic, I'll still be open enough to ask for help or at least say, "I struggle with x". By this definition, being more open is something I think all autistic people should aim for.

Also this is probably the reason I dislike JSON for configuration as I cannot add comments.
Browsing old git commits sometimes helps to find out reasons for dependencies but I also want to understand the same for the tree.

Every dependency in addition to the base framework you might use is a cost and it adds up.
So I would love to see the „cost“ of a dependency before even installing it. Several times I added one and removed it again after seeing what it came with.
