Yeah, I have a guess that it didn’t even fullly understood the prompt behind this slop either…
Just wait until QA gets a hold of it
Another crap meme made with AI, yay, I love AI slop
Good, I hope so. Whatever puts an end to the hipster, activist dev is a solid win.
“Can we jazz it up a bit?”
This is a real request from a real manager. They have played us for absolute fools.
My favorite was to make it “crisp”. My boss was sympathetic when I joked about it being “crispy and delicious” but he still acted like we basically should have known what that means.
Surprised there’s no one in the comments going bat shit crazy that this was made by AI. Are we not doing that anymore?
You just had to wait 2 more hours for that.
Character development ❤️
Customer requirements are basically always “I want what my Excel sheet used to do”.
“You mean you want it to corrupt your data and end up with conflicting changes once you share it?”
Make sure to convert
1/2toFebruaryTBF if the spreadsheet works, why change anything?
That depends. Is the spreadsheet doing what it’s intended for, or one of the hundreds of things it can do but really shouldn’t?
I’ve made my fair share of spreadsheets, including time tracking, vehicle scheduling, email automations, map integrations, god forgive me even ‘databases’ - all of that because no one was willing to pay for a proper solution.
So I’m not saying spreadsheets can’t or shouldn’t ever be used for those things, but a dedicated solution for a problem may indeed be a good reason to change things.
They change it because they need more money. (talking about Excel here)
And soon you’ll see ads in the fn suggestions drop down
and ads in unused cells
and ads while the Solver is running (made in VisualBasic, running on top of WebAssembly, running on interpreted Python, using a Java Interpreter on your Web Browser to make sure you watch the ad for as long as possible)And that’s why we need to make our own spreadsheet software.
I want faster horses.
AI Project Manager: Create a button on a webpage that, when clicked, displays an alert saying “Hello World!”
AI Programmer: “What a sensible requirement! Here you go.”
AI Billing Department: “Project completed, that’ll be 10 million dollars.”
Client AI Payments Department: “Sounds right, paid!”AI Quarterly Call Bot: Delivery is on time and synergy is high!
AI investment selector: This company looks profitable. Purchase!
You know what we, in the industry, call a detailed specification fo requirements detailed enough to produce software? Code.
presses button; nothing happens
“Well see here! I wanted that button to do something!”
“Oh but it did! It wasted your time as well as mine!”
“But I want it to do something other than that!”
If those project managers could read, they would actually be able to use Jira.
Great! Software isn’t bloated, convoluted, incomprehensible, fragile enough already!
How about… AI replaces government officials! A lot cheaper. Might actually get things right. And how could it fuck up any worse than what we have?
A lot. The answer is it could fuck things up a lot worse than what we have.
Me: I need spec – not just trust code Manager: You always make unnecessary demands, I’m replacing you AI: I would be happy to help you, if you could provide spec? Manager: god fuckin dammit
I honestly sometimes think to go into business myself just so I can write contracts that say “you will give us a fucking spec” and just keep billing while they fuck around not providing a spec
Button that does something? That’s too advanced for me, I’ll use a library
cries in left_pad
It’s kind of astonishing how many people leaned on that library just to add fucking spaces to strings
It should be in the standard library anyway. Why the hell is it not?!
I mean yeah, I can write my own function to do the same thing and probably I’ve done it at some point in some coding exercise as a beginner, but this seems like such a common thing to use, it should be in the standard library of any sane language.
It is, as padStart, which makes the number of packages using leftpad even more incomprehensible
Help, Debian has libbutton only in 1.4.3 and libdosomething is not in my repo. I compiled libdosomething from source, but now it needs libbutton >= 2.4.1 and compiling that version of libbutton fails, as my GCC and make are too old and incompatible!
I already tried it on my other PC, but that isn’t based on glibc, which makes all these dependencies even worse…
Have you tried unplugging your computer, going out into the woods, and returning to monke?
>return to:monke
ERROR: Restore point “monke” not found. Latest restore point is “shrew”, would you like to return to it instead?I need to make more frequent backups…
is that like an AUR package or something?
