A lots of things stop you from writing readable Perl code.

You have to forget half of the syntax first. Set perlcritic to max. Force whitespaces.

Download ton of packages for every little thing and hope they are cool with each other.

And still deal with edge cases that make you pluck your eyes out.

This is the most correct answer.

Rebind Caps to Esc.

ZZ (or ZQ if you don’t want to save the file).

I fully support promoting CSS to be Turing complete if I never have to touch JS for the UI elements ever again.

I have no issue with that, but let’s not act like there was anything else other than a trend.

If people said ‘I got caught up in the moment, everyone was doing it’ then fine, you got duped, it happens.

But don’t give me lame excuses. Most people didn’t approach it critically, which is not unusual, but own up to it.

I’m tired of the same excuse over and over.

And those tests weren’t even that cheap.

Don’t pirate their software, it still helps them keep up the monopoly.

So what are they going to do after?

You won’t get tested twice, they still need to pay for existing. After they test everyone, how are they going to keep it up?

Unless they take more money from you, they will sell your data to someone else.

Insurance companies? Advertisers? Those things provide value for bad actors more than for you.

Don’t give me that ‘hindsight is 20/20’, it was the first thought I had when I heard about this.

‘How are they going to monetize this?’

Either they sell your data, or they go under and… sell your data.

There was no other option from the inception.

None of this is new, and private companies gobbling up any data they can hasn’t been new since at least 2005.

Gentoo is the best platform for this.

You can decrypt old messages on Matrix, in some cases.

It would be, until I’ve seen millenials do the exact same thing.

Yeah, but the image seems pretty spot on, and that’s what you replied to.

What is accurate then?

There are many interesting AI applications, LLM or otherwise, but I’m talking about the IT bubble, that grows so big it will finally consume the industry. If it ever pops, the correction will not be pretty. For anyone.

I evaded the BS for now, but it feels like I won’t be able to hide much longer. And it saddens me. I used to love IT :(

But that won’t happen, since the bubble rose on promises of gorillions of returns, and those have not manifested yet.

We are so fucking stupid, I hate this timeline.

It’s a bit fucking expensive for a grammar tool.

I get that it gets logarithmically more expensive for every last bit of grammar, and some languages have very ridiculous nonsensical rules.

But I wish it had some broader use, that would justify its cost.

Surprise surprise, most of us have no use for LLMs.

And yet everyone and their gradma is using it for everything.

People asked GPT who would the next pope be.

Or which car to buy.

Or what’s a good local salary.

I’m so fucking tired of all the shit.

What is your definition of reasoning?

It’s not shoving AI slop into it again to get a new AI slop? Until it stops, because it reached the point where it’s just done?

What ancient wizzardry do you use for your reasoning at home if not that?

But like look, we’ve had shit like this since forever, it’s increasingly obvious that most people will cheer for anything, so the new ideas just get bigger and bigger. Can’t wait for the replacement, I dare not even think about what’s next. But for the love of fuck, don’t let it be quantums. Please, I beg the world.

Laravel is shit.

I can believe it became popular only because devs don’t care about the code.

no cap

Compared to MySQL most definitely.

Granted, Oracle has pushed some fresh air into it, but still it has a long way to go.
