This reminds me of a colleague who was always ranting that our code was not documented well enough. He did not understand that documenting code in easily understandable sentences for everybody would fill whole books and that a normal person would not be able to keep the code path in his mental stack while reading page after page. Then he wanted at least the shortest possible summary of the code, which of course is the code itself.

The guy basically did not want to read the code to understand the logic behind. When I took an hour and literally read the code for him and explained what I was reading including the well placed comments here and there everything was clear.

AI is like this in my opinion. Some guys waste hours to generate code they can’t debug for days because they don’t understand what they read, while it would take maybe two hours to think and a day to implement and test to get the job done.

I don’t like this trend. It’s like the people that can’t read docs or texts anymore. They need some random person making a 43 minute YouTube video to write code they don’t understand. Taking shortcuts in life usually never goes well in the long run. You have to learn and refine your skills each and every day to be and stay competent.

AI is a tool in our toolbox. You can use it to be more productive. And that’s it.

If the manufacturers would not use the cheapest caps with the least amount of flimsiest material available for this application, they could even be usable…

This triggered me hard. More than 2 decades later I still remember that guy that did not wear a (full face) helmet…

Can confirm. Had the OG XBOX (Still somewhere in a Box). I installed a modchip and Linux. That beast could practically run anything like a PC. I upgraded the HDD to about 200GB back then. You could just throw in a game and make a backup on your HDD. The Controllers were basically USB Controllers with a different connector. Good times. IMHO the OG XBOX was the pinnacle of moddable consoles. Everything started to decline when the consoles began to be online 24/7 and games started to be unplayable out of the box without TBs of updates… Oh, also you actually owned your disc back then.

Here in my region of Germany Audis are slowly replaced by Teslas. It changed that much that I even might consider buying an Audi in future, which was unthinkable since every second Audi driver was a PITA for years.

I was interested in buying a Model 3. But all former Audi drivers in their Model Ys changed my mind. Oh and also Elon happened…

Yeah. After using it for me than a decade it was about time 😂 I like getting paid for my software too so why not give it back. I had to pay much more money for a lot shittier software in my live. Winrar at least just works.
