During COVID, I was bullied by my bosses and severely depressed. I gave my 2 weeks notice and, as part of transferring the knowledge, I drank a few strong beers and made a Zoom presentation in front of 50 people about some obscure assembly language stuff that no one cared about because it was too weird yet essential for the company. After one hour of being perfect, I answered some questions and I went back to sleep.

I won’t do it again though because it’s bad for one’s health, but it was awesome.

I achieve better results when I’m drunk-coding.

AI slop, not programming. We have a winner!

Same for using an “almost non-changing” standard, i.e. either ISO or RFC. And write a script to update the data or tables if something wrong changes (like Russia disappearing because it has been invaded by Belgium), you never know what might happen politically.

Open source it because I ain’t running random stuff from the internet.

Since LLMs runs on CPUs with a lot of memory, do you agree that my calculator is thinking?

I would ask for a refund because it’s a broken TV. I’m not kidding, who the fuck accepts this?

It’s not smart if it’s not connected to anything. Only HDMI.

The vibe coders and every person using an LLM can’t complain about it. It’s fair game.

Empty readme and no comments in the code. Its useless to anyone who would want to change or fix it. It’s junior’s code and unacceptable in a professional environment.

Don’t forget subscriptions. We were freed by Linux, GCC, and all the open source tools that replaced $1000 proprietary crap. They now have that money again through AI monthly plans.

A lot of people on HackerNews have a $200 monthly subscription to have the privilege to work. It’s crazy.

For the past whole year, yes. Hacker News is now 1/3 technology, 1/3 politics, 1/3 AI. It’s annoying.
