@ThePrimeagen giving a fuck makes things better. that is the nature of quality. it is absurd that we even need to have this conversation.

everybody understands this when it comes to shitty doctors. the worst ones are the ones who do it for the money or to make their parents happy.

@Saxiam33rd @teropa I think one group is pretending like they don't understand so they have an excuse to violate the consent of the other group.

@RedOctoberJuls @ParisPhl and that's why they pay me the big bux

@vxdb he could always ask if the NSA has a backup

@rfleury @paulg i think people are starting to forget that there was a time when software actually worked

they think this inundation of bugs is normal

[unwraithful @unwraithful]

@ZynkApp @lauriewired and those people will do a worse job and make decisions that hurt people

[unwraithful @unwraithful]

@p3paprik4 @wavynavyjuan i'm sorry i hurt you, it won't happen again

[unwraithful @unwraithful]

@wavynavyjuan nerds: make things and care about how they are made

geeks: consume for a specific practice or hobby

dorks: consume a specific pop culture or media

dweebs: consume and base their identity around a fictional world or the culture around it

[unwraithful @unwraithful]

@wavynavyjuan i have the full taxonomy:

nerd: scientist / writer / programmer / filmmaker / composer

geek: car guy / bird watcher / history buff / IT guy

dork: cinephile / sports fan / anime weeb / gamer / tech bro

dweeb: merch collector / cosplayer / k-pop stan

@0xAlaric i'm curious what stories would look like from authors that paid no mind to tropes

in the sense that they had no urge to follow tropes, stray from tropes, or subverting tropes

actually- what i want to see are stories told by people who have never consumed a product

[unwraithful @unwraithful]

@krstck @cybelethebest i would even argue that the kids of women who wait longer have better outcomes, in the sense that they make better parents

[unwraithful @unwraithful]

@krstck @mycoliza "but it writes good code!!"

but you don't even know what that LOOKS like!

[unwraithful @unwraithful]

@David_Amodei @suchnerve is that supposed to be a "nerd"?

i wouldn't even grant him rank of "geek".

he looks more like a dweeb.

a dork, even.

@horsemankukka @DP_LTS @nixcraft i either say the full word or collapse to the letters

so "executable" or "ee-ex-ee"
and "et cetera" or "ee-tee-see"

[unwraithful @unwraithful]

@sigiligis @nixcraft i have not noticed that people say "ecksetra",,,

i fear that i will now notice it all the time,,,

[unwraithful @unwraithful]

@DP_LTS @nixcraft when i see people call it "et-see" it feels similar when people call .exe's "ex-ee",,, that is to say that it feels wrong

@straceX conway's law seems to have held up for the past ~60 years

[unwraithful @unwraithful]

@IroncladDev reading posts like this make me experience survivor's guilt for running away from the frontend

[unwraithful @unwraithful]

careful guys, he's about one week away from calling us terrorists for daring to care about software quality lol

[antirez @antirez]

You will discover more and more that the anti-AI part of the society will be the most aggressive and fascist, especially in the US I believe the extreme polarization of the society could create big issues.

@syskage @brainage19 a bad coder with an LLM is a like a chimp with a chainsaw
