I’m sorry you have such narrow boundaries of things you want to know about. or such lax requirements on correctness.

but I’m not sorry about how much shit you’ll eat somewhere down the line.

there’s a lot of people (especially here, but not only here) who have had the insight to see this being the case, but there’s also been a lot of boosters and promptfondlers (ie. people with a vested interest) putting out claims that their precious word vomit machines are actually thinking

so while this may confirm a known doubt, rigorous scientific testing (and disproving) of the claims is nonetheless a good thing

I’m a senior software engineer

ah, a señor software engineer. excusé-moi monsoir, let me back up and try once more to respect your opinion

uh, wait:

but I can’t trust a junior engineer to be perfect either

whoops no, sorry, can’t do it.

jesus fuck I hope the poor bastards that are under you find some other place real soon, you sound like a godawful leader

and the engineers I know who are still avoiding it work noticeably slower

yep yep! as we all know, velocity is all that matters! crank that handle, produce those features! the factory must flow!!

fucking christ almighty. step away from the keyboard. go become a logger instead. your opinions (and/or the shit you’re saying) is a big part of everything that’s wrong with industry.

jesus fuck so many parts of this are psychic injury

the account name, the presumption of “oh yeah my opinion is right”, the very nature of this person’s “engagement” (quotes intentional) with conflict, the deference to non-authority (holy fuck how the fuck is it that we have worse than the personal-abdication of christianity (oh right, it’s mcfuckingsaltman’s fault))…

I want to say “some of these people are in desperate need of a hug”, but then as a friend of mine pointed out recently: “maybe if they weren’t all such self-loathing pieces of shit they may actually get a hug”
