And to be fair, like always, good marketing is genius stuff.

But it also feels rare. I suspect precisely because C-suite and upper management love to mess with it, so the rote marketing approach gets normalized, which in turn drives all the decent marketing people away.

It’s called Chinese Room and it’s exactly what “AI” is. It recombines pieces of data into “answers” to a “question”, despite not understanding the question, the answer it gives, or the piece sit uses.

It has a very very complex chart of which elements in what combinations need to be in an answer for a question containing which elements in what combinations, but that’s all it does. It just sticks word barf together based on learned patterns with no understanding of words, language, context of meaning.

Yeah that’s my point, too. AI employing companies should be held responsible for the stuff their AIs say. See how much they like their AI hype when they’re on the hook for it!

Hey, nobody is stopping your country from enforcing things like the EU.

I mean I was originally angry about this toss-up, but since it hit an investment company… good guy Google?

I’m confused now.

You either never worked with anything that did actual agile (to be fair, most don’t) or you haven’t done development in a long time if you think that.

Also isn’t Manor Lords plodding along fairly well? Who cares if they take a long time, better release done than Ubisoft.

If I had someone run through hot coals I would scold them, sure. Much like for being angry about others not believing in zombie carpenters or letting quacks give their kids overpriced sugar pills. But that’s jot the context right now, is it?

For bonus points take their code and completely go wild with utterly random indentation and line breaks, just to drive the point home. 😈

Yeah but it could be improved by not using arbitrary country-decided timezones and instead simply listing “diurnal time”, basically. And then clocks could get normalized as always showing UTC nearby, too. For communication.

I mean if this was on Tagesschau, then it’s probably a bought stock photo or video, right? They needed as background for something they were talking about?

I mean in a way I get it, psychologically.

When you embrace Linux, you - sadly - also have to embrace the fiddling. Still, even in 2024. It’s gotten worlds better, but it still exists. But as it is a choice to swap to Linux - usually from Windows - you do not perceive this fiddling as a shared plight you can bond and laugh over, instead you see it as the “cost” of embracing Linux.

As a result, whatever setup you end up with has to be mentally justified to your own brain. A bit like a post-purchase rationalization. So you mentally consider your specific end result to be vastly superior to all other possible ones, after all, this is why you did it! You put in the work to create this, it must be superior.

For something that is supposedly such a cool solution, it sure causes a hell of a lot of problems nearly constantly. /s

Well this is /c/programminghumor, I would assume mostly it’s meant as a joke.

Oops. TY, corrected!

To be fair, there’s a big difference.

VS Code is a text editor / IDE. Compared to something like Notepad++, it’s super slow to open/load, its UI feels laggy at times, and it’s just overkill for opening a text file. Compared to specialized log viewers, it struggles with large files and is generally super slow.
But compared to “full” IDEs like IntelliJ, it’s marginal in coding features, lacking important analysis and testing support, plus integrations with ~everything.

If you find yourself in the middle, like many JS developers do, not actually needing the biggest IDE but also needing more than just a text editor, it’s a fine tool. As a Java Backend Dev, VS Code feels like a joke if applied to that, OTOH.

I mean, it was DOA at “From the Atom team”.

Not to be confused with the Feline Bureau of Investigation.

… said no programmer, ever. Especially not after hearing about a cool new feature in their favorite language or library that was just added in the newest unstable version!
