  • O it’s writing 100% of the code for our management level people who are excited about “”““AI””“”

    But then us plebes are rewriting 95% of it so that it will actually work (decently well).

    The other day somebody asked me for help on a repo that a higher up had shit coded because they couldn’t figure out why it “worked” but also logged a lot of critical errors. … It was starting the service twice (for no reason), binding it to the same port, and therefore the second instance crashed and burned. That’s something a novice would probably know not to do. But, if not, immediately see the problem, research, understand, fix, instead of “Icoughbuiltcoughthis thing, good luck fuckers”

















  • This post is very timely because I was just introducing some new people to Mongo earlier this week and led off with “Now you might still hear people say ‘mongo is trash, it’s not even ACID compliant!’ but those people are dumb… it’s had that for years and years and is just another DBMS at this point (but not relational)”

    … the last part also answers the other reply to this post. Yes.
