Man, I can't wait to try out generative AI to generate config files for mission critical stuff!
Imagine paying all of us devops wankers when my idiot boss can just ask Chat GPT to sort all this legacy mess we're juggling with on the daily!
If you found this on the front page like me, my dictionary says :
内卷 (nei⁴juan³) : to turn more and more into a rat race
摆烂 (bai³lan⁴) : to let it all go to hell
If it makes you feel better I'm having a good laugh when I hear my surgeon of a wife telling me how difficult hand eye coordination can be when not looking at your hands. A skill our kids mastered a few months after putting their hands on a console controller :,D
Her colleagues tell each other to practice on console games!
Similarly, I'm realising lately that video games have given me abilities to evaluate trajectories, potential collision, to anticipate surprises around me, to filter of "noise" vs actual threats, etc... all skills which are vital to good driving.
Oh, there is my bus.
Thanks to the Net I know all the characters and quotes. But I guess Mel Brooksthat movie's humor never really did it for me, sorry.
(edit : apologies. I always thought it one one of his)
It literally means "to apply", funnily.
But of course the majority of Chinese people are not English speakers, so they see "app" but can't know it's the same meaning.
I might be biased from speaking with so many Chinese people. Who I can forgive not knowing the origin of the abbreviation. Still pisses me off to no end D:<
What I hate even more, is that the morons who can't read more than two syllables decided to shorten "application" to "app", but now I only ever hear people reading that as "ay pee pee"!
What was the fucking point?
I'm told you absolutely can be president and still relax on your golf course while setting the world on fire through Shitter.
Fair play to him for taking the difficult route instead.
I wish I had some hippocratic style oath I could lean on to not release unsafe, unoptimised, barely tested, possibly maintainable code.
Alas all I have is good, verbose comments and an email here or there expressing my concerns.
I thought it was Codsworth
