I predict that, within the year, AI will be doing 100% of the development work that isn’t total and utter bullshit pain-in-the-ass complexity, layered on obfuscations, composed of needlessly complex bullshit.

That’s right, within a year, AI will be doing .001% of programming tasks.

Alright, I’m gonna ask: This is a joke cable right?

Every time I see something I’m absolutely sure is a joke cable, somebody links me to a piece of real hardware that actually needs that monstrosity of a cable.

But this time, I am 99% sure… Nothing actually could possibly have any use for this cable…right?

I would be more sure if one end wasn’t a network cable end. Networking people have some deeply weird cables…

That’s right.

But only because “Vim vs Emacs” is a technically a religious holy war.

It must have been traumatic for that Arch user to discover such rebellion in their child. /s

On a more serious note, if my kids find this post: I hope you know we can talk about closed source software if you’re curious about it - and about maintaining a proper virtual infrastructure to protect the rest of the network from it.

Programming with AI help is like having the expert chef at my shoulder, giving me tips, but he’s high as hell on three different mild altering drugs.

Then he’s like “That cake needs some lemon juice. Trust me.”

For being a sick burn, that was ice cold. I love it.

Yeah, this can be a generational cultural difference.

I mourned the death of my grandfather three separate times when my mother texted me “please call”. Each time when I called back I learned something different:

1. We had to change our lunch plans.
2. There was an alarming local news article about driving conditions.
3. My grandfather had died.

I’ve suspected Reddit’s ownership of running bots on their own platform for awhile. This feels like confirmation, to me.
