But oh boy is it a flashy good-looking structured cool code! It doesn’t work, but it’s cool!

Purely out of curiosity, I used the Cursor IDE for a personal project involving a lot of math-y stuff, and this really wasn’t my experience.

Not only was most of what it produced wrong (ran just fine, but mostly produced complete garbage), the code quality was absolute shit. Overly long functions, often with parts that repeated, kept shoving more and more parameters into those overly long functions, no sense of using abstractions to cut down on code length etc. etc.

Might have partially been a question of language choice; I was using Julia, and there’s definitely not going to be as much training data for it compared to something like Python (🤮), and a lot of the code that is out there has been written by people who aren’t coders but scientists

Fuck me am I glad I’m out of the corporate world

I wish users would report their problem istead of what they think is the solution.

And when they do report the problem, they should report the actual problem they had and not what they think the problem is.

So instead of eg. “my computer’s been hacked!”, it’s actually “I saw a scary error dialog I didn’t understand”

I know so many ops people who are practically functional alcoholics and I’m not surprised at all

I hope you wear the velcro shoes for your own sake

I wonder what the daily recommended allowance of irony is

I mean I’m like 99.9999% sure the post itself is satire, but what worries me is that I’m not sure if the concept of “higher order vibes” is itself satire or not

(is great (oh (really (like-p lisp you))))

If the data you’re handling isn’t sensitive in any way (or you can eg. anonymise / pseudonymise it) and you don’t have anything else sensitive on the VM, it wouldn’t really matter either way – and as @MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.dbzer0.com said, if you’re running an executable from some yarrr site you’re probably going to get malware

Just run it in a VM?

Doing stupid things because stupid people do stupid things too 👌

Comparing apples to oranges doesn’t make any more sense just because someone else does something even dumber.

In fact, maybe we should run offices like that. Just breed developers in a closed system

At some point going as far as trying to genetically engineer an even larger hamster instead of just changing the design so that it could use multiple smaller but parallel hamsters

Oh man my friend is going to shit a (happy) brick if people actually involved with the ISS end up seeing this.

Oh it’s the rule 30 sea snail! Didn’t know they were super poisonous, huh

In the future, computers will do all our art and entertainment for us so we can concentrate on making rich people more money. Yay!

I may not have been entirely serious

Ah, thanks, I really don’t speak flounder too well. Really should learn considering how close to Norway I live

Too cheesy?!
