  • Ad a fairly senior developer, I’m not at all surprised. AI speeds me up in some circumstances like writing boilerplate; things like kubernetes manifests. It does not speed up my coding, but it does help me explore options, expand my knowledge, and point me down the right track on new methods and packages. It also lets me do things I wouldn’t normally bother with, but which are good practice like finding edge cases for unit tests, packaging for multiple architectures, writing scripts to profile my code, etc.

    Essentially, I’m likely slower writing code with AI assistance but I think the code is higher quality because it let’s me quickly assess many options and implement best practices that are normally tedious to implement manually.

    I almost never accept code AI has written without modification, but I think I gain a lot from its use.



  • I think the point that keeps getting forgotten is that these people don’t even hear about the bad things that Trump does most of the time and, when they do, it comes with spin to make it sound like a good thing. Mostly, they just hear about how much they are winning, how perfect the administration is… how great this administration has been for the economy, how much they have helped minorities but not in a way that will displace white people… how perfectly they are winning on the international stage, how perfectly the most recent special military action went, how much the rest of the world respects the US, how quickly other countries are giving in to our terriffs.

    They don’t hear truth and, at this point, they are so brainwashed that they wouldn’t know what to do with the truth if they encountered it.

    I lived in Texas for two years. The number of times I had the following conversation was staggering:

    Texas is the best place in the world!

    Oh? Where else have you been?

    I ain’t been anywhere else… Why would I go anywhere else? Texas is the best place in the world!

    Sometimes there was legitimate confusion on their face. Sometimes it was delivered deadpan. Sotimes it was more of a challenge or threat. It was always flabbergasting…
