I recall saying something like “the function ‘draw_card’ doesn’t mutate the deck variable” and it goes “I’m sorry, you’re correct. I’ll fix it to mutate the deck variable” and it returns the same code but changes the the card variable inside function to be called “mutate_the_deck”.
I felt much safer after that interaction.
I was using phoenix and elixir right when Chat gpt came out and people were like “it’ll take our jerb”.
I tried to get it to build a basic module that built a playing deck of cards. At first it looked OK, the basic layout made sense, but then I realised it called functions that weren’t there, some functions were just empty, since logic was wrong and actually it was all around terrible.
I tried to fix it with prompts and it got worse or implemented my suggestions incorrectly and was still broken.
Ultimately it took a lot longer to get no where than if I’d just written it by myself. But I could see how someone with not much knowledge in the area could see the output and be impressed.
It’s not about their case for being there. It’s about their desire to be distinct from them. Harder to “other” and genocide your own people.
I just have memories of the early days of genetic sequencing research breakthroughs and the Israeli government started to order it’s scientists to sequence the Israeli and Palestinian DNA to “prove” their difference… only to very quickly learn they were almost identical, stop the program, and try and stop people from talking about it.
Without looking at the sources, I’m going to assume it’s because, genetically speaking, Palestinians and Israelis are almost identical.
Edit - yep… That’s the kicker.
Omg… I think I’m showing my age 😅 I thought that was “ask jeeves” (pre google Internet search thing) and it was a joke about developers looking things up so the time on the job
Enough money? It’s three quarters of a billion… That’s an unreasonably large amount.
I was just trying to figure out what attributes I could pass to a component to modify the ui without having to custom jobby it.
The docs simply showed an example of its most basic use case and a link to the original library they got the component off that they modified… The docs on that link also just show an example of it’s most basic use case…
They didn’t list all the possible things you could pass it anywhere.
Given Colbert took the absurdity of conservatism in the US and cranked it up to 11… I’m not surprised it’s becoming reality now.
Exactly. Recognising your own errors is an improvement
I remember when an older netflix ceo talked about never having ads on the platform, there was some high and mighty principle about it… But then money!
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t renamed because people were morons about child weather, at least not completely. It’s always been “climate change”, because that’s a better representation of what is happening.
The climate is changing, and one is the main side effects it’s global warming… But there’s extra fun side effects, like ocean acidification, that aren’t because of the warning
Honestly love tailwind. Once you get used to all the names/abbreviations and how they work with sizes and states etc. it’s much easier to see what’s happening when eyeballing code.
Makes reviewing and bug fixing easier too.
I get that early on it feels annoying. I recall disliking it the first time I learnt it, but then when I went back to regular css and classes I really missed it.
