MAGA is a death cult.
Going after vaccines will kill Americans.
Going after USAID will kill non-Americans.
Going after research will kill science.
Going after universities will kill an educated class.
Going after NOAA will kill people from extreme weather events.
Going after climate change research will kill future generations.
MAGA is a death cult.

Study finds AI tools made open source software developers 19 percent slower
Coders spent more time prompting and reviewing AI generations than they saved on coding.

The majority of sitting justices on the U.S. Supreme Court have, once again, greenlit wholly unconstitutional action by the Trump regime. In a shadow docket order, the court has lifted a stay preventing the regime from acting on Trump’s executive order to gut the staff of the Dept of Education so that it becomes de facto defunct. 1/ #LawFedi

Rosie O'Donnell on Trump (zero lies detected):
“(H)e is a dangerous old soulless man with dementia who lacks empathy compassion and basic humanity- i stand in direct opposition all he represents- so do millions of others - u gonna deport all who stand against ur evil tendencies - ur a bad joke who cant form a coherent sentence.” In a subsequent post, a caption to a photo of Trump with Epstein, O'Donnell wrote (sic throughout) “hey donald – you’re rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours. you call me a threat to humanity –
but I’m everything you fear:
a loud woman
a queer woman
a mother who tells the truth.”

@arstechnica can't wait until they realize that coding is a tiny part of overall development. Even if tooling shaves 25% off coding, it's only shaving a few % off developer time.

Maybe make an AI that can attend low-productivity meetings instead.

@glitzersachen @arstechnica It seems like schools were just pushing out degrees to make a buck vs actualy teaching anyone something.
Show threadGlitzersachen1h ago

@Luna @arstechnica

No, I don't think so.

But the (continuous) learning culture in the software industry and the developer sub-culture is not good.

Also I have the impression that in the last 2 decades a lot of people took software development adjacent technical degrees (specifically electrical engineering and computer science) who were in love with the economic prospects but would rather not put in the effort (specifically not after the degree).

Furthermore tests and examinations cannot do much against intelligent people just wanting to beat the system (and largely wanting to avoid becoming scientists of some kind).

Like in software development you cannot "test away" the "bad apples" and unfortunately when the (economic) stakes are high there is a lot of incentive to try to become (for example) a computer scientists even if you don't like the subject (and are correspondingly disengaged).

@arstechnica The worst (funniest?) part of this is that the same developers thought they were 20% FASTER. So not only were they slower, they didn’t realize that, and actually thought it was an improvement.

@arstechnica that is because open source devs are amateurs. true programmers get money for their work. and if you are a true programmer, you know how to use AI the right way
