  • I second this, although I’m mostly alone with git extensions in my workplace.

    I migrated to from sourcetree some years ago. At the time we had some big generated API client classes (imagine ~60k lines of code). They needed to be regenerated whenever we made changes and the diff on sourcetree was shitting the bed every time I needed to stage the damn files. It was just way too lagy, so I got fed up and moved.

    On my personal machine I prefer lazygit or just plain CLI.



  • Here I am just thinking I’m a better programmer without AI (LLMs).

    For me it’s just glorified autocomplete. I haven’t tried it in any real capacity, but my colleagues did and I’ve seen some examples. It’s all basic shit I already know. In no way I felt compelled or even seen anything really useful. It can give you a head start, but I already have the knowledge to have a head start.

    Some colleagues are using it for SQL, because they’re unfamiliar with it, and I’m like, it’s all good if it works for you, but you’re not gonna learn properly if you don’t try to write stuff yourself.

    This touches on another point I don’t see too often — I code because I like solving problems. If I outsource that, then what’s the point? And it’s exactly this that makes me a competent, and dare I say, good programmer.
    Another issue for me is this chat bot format. I don’t what a chat bot! If I have to go out of my way to try and coerce a fucking chat bot into being a useful tool then it already lost its usefulness. The only acceptable format for AI coding is better autocomplete, i. e. ability to autofill boilerplate more, better and, most importantly, as seamlessly as current solutions in modern IDEs.

    In general I don’t feel threatened by AI and when the tools catch up I’ll gladly use them or even retire and code just for fun.


  • Now that you mention it, yes. The characters are quite 2 dimensional and unlikeable (not all, but definitely important to mention).

    That being said I thoroughly enjoyed the books and didn’t stop too much on the characters. Under unlikeable, flat, awkward characters there was an interesting premise and good thinking to be had: living in a society that has no private thoughts; dark forest theory, life in a society after the end.
    So what I did was take a big sip of suspension of disbelief and enjoyed the ride. The interest to see the conclusion of the story was enough to coast through all three of the books.

    Also, I read those just before the hype. I first heard of the first book a few years before from an Adam Savage podcast and the premise stuck to me. So after reading the Witcher I wanted something sci-fi’ish and this hit the spot.

    Blue by elimination, didn’t really had an idea, but words fit better.

    Those were TV snowmen. We used snow, sticks and maybe roks to decorate them. Like who the fuck has coal laying around and would waste a good carrot and a scarf.

    I just disagree with both blue and purple. I knew and thought of just the last one of blues. None of the others make any sense.
    P. S.:
    Read some comments, there’s a method to this group.

    And purple, come on… Is that an American thing? Never heard of the first word being “used” like that and then multiple instances of the other one… Who says that?

    Both the concept and the execution of the purple group makes me angry. Mostly because it feels somewhat artificial and arbitrary (I know they all are, this one feels like that).

    If the intended reader is a regular person just use normal words, even if it’s not 100 % accurate.

    Jones exited the air lock in his space suit but the control system flagged an error with life support or water flow

    All three ways don’t mean much to me as an outsider, but the last one at least paints a somewhat understandable picture.
