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.

That’s a symbol of the sun commonly used in Euroasian religions. It’s clearly not the Nazi symbol. Also, the gesture he’s doing is obviously a Roman salute. Libs are so soft these days.

This looks like a spray painted plastic prop for a Power Rangers movie. I want it to look like real armor that won’t crumble in one sword strike.

My current phone is 3 years old. I have no intention to replace it unless it breaks.

A person probably made some fermented wheat beverage on accident and thought its worth repeating.

U2 is such a groundbreaking band. They’re the first band who managed to make an album with negative value.

In this case it wasn’t even opt-out. Once the album was on your device it was impossible to get rid of it.

It’s actually quite clever. Now they can brag about the amazing spike in market share of Copilot for their shareholders. Wohoo! Every company is using Copilot (formerly Office)!!!

Soon they’ll rebrand Windows to Copilot OS to increase the market share even further.

Or blockchain, internet of things, smart everything, big data, 3D TVs, wearable tech. The cycle never ends.

The difference with the AI bubble is that it’s at the scale of the dot com bubble now.

Happened to me. Lost my phone at a party. Someone called it to help me find it.

Next day I see I have a missed call from a number I don’t recognize. The strange thing is that they called me in the middle of the night. Is it a spam call? Who calls me in the middle of the night???

Took a while to connect the dots.

It’s for investors

Don’t forget about the ecological collapse!

Microsoft is run entirely by incompetent idiots.
