Amen!

I believe they want to divert all their resources into one huge Fortnite like success story. Something that can bring them a reliable recurring revenue stream.

2 layers of abstraction is the gold standard

It’s partially correct though - the bad code is indeed bad.

Why should I want simplicity? I want to make unnecessarily complex programs to gatekeep those pesky junior programmers.

There’s this report circling around indicating that OpenAI is about to run out of money. AI is not profitable, and it’s uncertain it ever will be.

There’s probably also a lot of legacy server software perpetually stuck in .NET framework

Windows pretends it’s friendly, but in reality it’s just there to sell you Copilot 365 subscriptions.

Anything that isn’t the bootloader is just bloat

No one is going to take IntelliJ from me. Tab completion master race!

Well either the AI doomerism is real and we all lose our jobs, or the AI bubble pops and we all lose our jobs.

It’s easy to overestimate how much of software engineering is about coding, when in truth it’s mostly about the code you don’t write.

99% of the time it’s just a basic todo list

Have you noticed how every LinkedIn bro is talking about their vibe coding workflows, but no one is showing what they’ve made with vibe coding?

Writing “iteration” sounds absolutely perverse!

I like it to make it clear when the for loop is about iterating lists and when it’s not. For example, the iterations in Monte Carlo algorithms doesn’t correspond to items in a list.

Outside of the for loop counters i and j, short variable names are awful.

I’ve started to prefer writing it out as ”index” or ”iteration” even in for loop counters. It’s easier to read, and not much harder to type.

The FP in Java is still leagues better than whatever the C++ committee cooked up.

The OOP boilerplater is the only one with a job.

Microslop

And OpenAI will take zero accountability
