@afaIk wait what, what's wrong with svelte?

AI slop in coding is just a natural progression of this. coding is for the end product, not the art. the art is forgotten. it's not needed. we have more than enough repositories on GitHub to teach the machine (for now)

slop is all the hallucinations and bugs it delivers because we hadn't found more robust processes to catch the faults

programming is for the ends of the business. whereas before if you saw it as art you could learn the intricacies and integrate them lovingly into your neurons, and as such this gave you an edge over those who had less love because they had less art, and as such were more fixated on the frustrations and bitching of greedy corporate slop and what have you, slowed by these frictions. a new era began where rumours of high pay meant MBAs and ambitious brogrammers entered the field to make a quick buck, disparaged populations around the world, and boot campers viewing it as their own personal lottery. the understanding of and quality of code went down, and we developed more robust processes to catch the faults of those who didn't view coding as an art -- tests, memorizable design patterns, frameworks galore, goddamn leetcode

in terms of code I'm one of those weird people that always thought computer science was an art. I said it in class back in my first semester of school and a teacher was pleasantly surprised at it. but since then I don't think I encountered someone having this perspective

the thing with it being art is nobody knows it's art or views it as art. maybe they did when it was more of a budding discipline

if you write magnificent code nobody sees it and nobody values it. even if a dev inherits your code and is amazed, such a thing is so rare now that that is unexpected and will probably be the only time they experience such an experience. you're like a mythical ghost, a mirage. blink twice, and then you forget it ever happened because there's nowhere to put such an occurrence in your head so it falls to the wayside, a forgotten exception

I find myself watching YouTube videos to the end hoping something interesting will happen but it never does

I find myself scrolling twitter endlessly because I think it will give me something interesting but it never does

similarly, I listen to AI music thinking something interesting will come up but it never does. I converse with AI over topics it has read numerous high quality books on and think it will say something interesting about the topic but it never does

whereas human music has twists and turns. it goes deep. whereas human books surprise you, thrill you

hell talking to a real person they have texture but YouTube and Twitter it's like someone went over everyone with a smoothing tool

it's like it's stuck in just one mode. be predictable, stereotypable. easy to consume. it's like being stuck in a white hospital room. you just want to pull your hair out to have something different. the output is "perfect" for the input, and there's nothing else to it

see I should have their job

it's ok I have brain damage so I can't remember anything now!

them thinking AGI will come is why they fired all those people though

turns out it's not just tech either

and the AI companies are pyramid scheme investing in each other to keep this evaluation circus going

@CaptainRant yeah they had an architect once estimate a task and cuz I did it so fast he got chewed out... imo should've just given me a raise. I also fixed up his designs after I was done because they were incomplete

but alas

so toxic -.-

@YourMom yeah but I wanna be in bliss

heroin seems too fast but I guess it's an option

@CaptainRant yeah and the honest get penalized

AI told me the other day 74% of applicants studied had admitted to lying to get a job

my bf keeps telling me to make up jobs I had and that he'll pretend to be a reference they can call. it makes me depressed that evidently to not die I'd have to do that otherwise I'm unhirable -.-

welcome to society

AI said it was "bad" to lie but admitted you get hired at a much better rate if you do. just said "long-term" it's a bad plan because "you'll be discovered". yeah nobody gave a shit about my competence at a job, just if I asskissed irrationally like everybody else or not. and relative to me other devs I worked with did not seem to know fundamentals and wrote pretty unnecessarily inefficient code and nobody cared because nobody in management can read code so that's not a metric they judge you on. not to mention their standards were that something that would take me 3 days to make would take 6 months to make and etc

sometimes I think my retirement plan should be buying 50 chocolate bars and eating them until I die of irony poisoning

edit: I'm told by AI it would take about 600-1700 chocolate bars. goddamnit

that's funny

I was using tomcat and websphere and stuff and those tools took 40 seconds minimum to boot even if they had nothing configured

then I touched JavaScript for backend and everything just ran in a fraction of a second...

older server software was waaaayyy slower. javascript ended up being a revolution in speed up

cuz if a human's mouth or fingers are moving they lying

I never ate the gum under desks... uegh

though yeah sharing drinks and food was fine

--

also younger generation has less sex. they also don't drink or do drugs apparently

my boyfriend basically is offering to be my agent (for job hunting)

I mean... that's very supportive but weird

sigh I think I'll just die

apparently I'm smart. my brain is still scrambled eggs and now I seem to be oddly morose all the time

being smart means people wanna hire you, right? lol

but I'm not motivated for anything anymore. also working sucked because people just said weird snippy things to me like I did nothing which was incongruent. but hey it's that or you die. so joke's on me for having quit like 6 years ago and wanting someone to prove to me that not all workplaces would be like that. I really don't have a plan

maybe I don't even know myself. at which point that also deserves dying sooo

duh

business business

b2plane? is that you?

@TeachMeCode he sent me a pic of a drop-down

wtf every application

@Lensflare I think it's called growth. you're too static and view it as moral superiority

@SidTheITGuy people do name discrimination by trying to guess ethnicity from your name. there was a reddit post some user made of them sending the same resume everywhere just changing the name. can't find it now but it was way more discrimination than the official academic studies (and official academic studies ofc only care if you're a protected class, because it just fits the narrative well)

my bf regularly gets asked straight up his ethnicity when applying to jobs in California. it's fine to ask tho because they wanna hire more ethnics now!

https://jurimatic.com/los-angeles-j...

they literally changed the name of this article... because they got in trouble for saying Indian lmao

ew

I thought this post was about "how do people NOT get rich"

sigh. dyslexia

@antigermanist but ur immigrant wife leaves trash around the place omg

id just do it right and show it, maybe with benchmarks with his idea

then get fired ofc

probably cuz ur not indian

direct democracy wehn. we have the technology

if they can do surveillance state they can do direct democracy. we all got spy phones for a reason

remdesivir

and the vaccine batches were not made the same

1/4th of them were placebo (iirc the ratio correctly). which was sus as all fuck. because you wouldn't do that.

and 1 in 10 batches were exponential in symptoms and mortality rate. 9 in 10 batches were pretty benign
there was a website like "how bad was my batch?" and when I looked up my first dose it was one of the very deadly batches. years later when I went to look again the batch info had been scrubbed. lol... and the total number of people who supposedly got my batch reduced by 99% like nothing ever happened lol

but I think basically most people were fine unless they got one of the bad batches

and yeah nothing will get done about it. turns out humans are pretty vile throughout human history. it's nothing new. sure kicks your faith in humanity due to current civilizations' nice rosey gleam though

@YourMom when I got sick 15 or so people came into the hospital on ambulances. the receptionist asked me if an accident had happened

I've been to that hospital many times now cuz that vax fucked me up. but it was never that busy. worst you got was 3 people maybe the whole wait time

I don't know if people are still sick from these things. I started trending up slowly in January and now I think my higher consciousness functions are coming back but very slowly which is annoying. a lot of the vaccine injured disappeared a couple years in, some though just woke up one day and just got better and didn't know why. that's the kicker. we tried everything. we could never figure out how to fix what the vaccine did. I tried everything. I don't think a single thing I did helped. it lessened the symptoms but whatever makes people ill I have no idea. I think I have to keep eating beef liver and maybe that helped but ultimately I think your body just somehow has to figure it out
