It‘s a pleasure at the cost of testing, documenting, user support and debugging.<br/><br/>Let‘s say 1 part joy and 3 parts meh.<br/><br/>If your AI really would make me twice as fast at coding, it would shift the joy ratio to 1 in 6.<br/>And if you AI writes more bugs than me, it could easily become 1 in 12 or worse.<br/><br/>Do not want.💁🏻‍♂️ 2024-10-05T07:24:45Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspahtc9w7eayw7ckzdkgae3arrs6jnya9vq9ywtwme469rdtwyx9qzyrj0qjecjvc99s3tejv2wrcer64xvr3t0hmdzjuv6t63hvsgxlg97x7jf3z „From this [twitter/X] transparency report, they’ve suspended 464M accounts because of spam &amp; “manipulation” just for the first six months of 2024!“<br/><br/>That is ~30 bot accounts per second.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2024/09/29/funniest-most-insightful-comments-of-the-week-at-techdirt-129/">https://www.techdirt.com/2024/09/29/funniest-most-insightful-comments-of-the-week-at-techdirt-129/</a> 2024-09-30T07:39:51Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyym8pqf6fayar8jmmrgy3c3pwuee7x34l3kgzpafpdhvg9wfsepszyrj0qjecjvc99s3tejv2wrcer64xvr3t0hmdzjuv6t63hvsgxlg97r66nla Why are there no DOG 6 and 8 cables? <br/><br/>All our social networks only use CATs.

It has been buried in the ground for ~80 years.<br/><br/>We still need to do that several times each year.

They are not obliged to solve your problems. They might want to, but are restricted to do so. In time, money, skill or depth of understanding.<br/><br/>Calling these devs racist for not solving the problem with racism is deeply unfair. 2024-08-02T07:15:52Z
