No you have to run them through an elaborate model first, then it’s totally legit to use someone else’s literal words as if they were your own

Yeah it sucks. If the commits are really helpful, you can just paste the git log into the PR/MR/CR body after it’s been merged

Depends, but usually I will put in the effort up front and maybe tweak them in an in[eractive rebase, or just manually copy+paste.

If they’re worth saving. Sometimes you have to kill your darlings though

Principle developer tip: rewrite history to make yourself seem smarter.

Soft reset the whole branch and commit a series of atomic and semantic patches (eg separating code, test, and refactor changes) that tell a clean narrative of the changeset to reviewers, future blamers.

I think you just answered your own question.

Also a super intelligence (inasmuch as such a thing makes sense) might be totally unfathomable. Unless by this we mean an intelligence with mundane and comprehensible higher goals, but explosive strategic capabilities to bring them about. In which case their actions might seem random to us.

Like the typical example applies: could an amoeba guess at the motivations of a human?

Oh nice I like this new edition.

I loved this cheeky comeback.

Why not reinvent the wheel? I’ve already learned a great deal in just starting this project, and I’m excited to learn a great deal more.

Your energy is infectious! I’ll be eagerly following this project

This feels like a Stanley Parable reference but it’s been a while…

Works with mazes and everything else. It’s the “good ol’ rock” of cardinality

I would need to take the day off after eating one of these lol

They do look delicious, just way way too much for me to handle

Yeah that’s relatable. It’s so easy to pick apart someone else’s words when you’re just passively observing, but when it’s you in the moment…

You don’t write your grocery list on a bit of paper stuck to the fridge…? I thought that was downright universal

Did they mean “and be doing so insinuate” I wonder? Initiate makes some sense too, just odd phrasing.

Anyway! I’m getting sidetracked lol! Haven’t even watched the video yet. Thanks for sharing the quote

Respect

Nah I’m into it

Haha nice, I guess I should post some stuff, get it back on folks’ radars

I think we all had that first moment where copilot generates a good snippet, and we were blown away. But having used it for a while now, I find most of what it suggests feels like jokes.

Like it does save some typing / time spent checking docs, but you have to be very careful to check its work.

I’ve definitely seen a lot more impressively voluminous, yet flawed pull requests, since my employer started pushing for everyone to use it.

I foresee a real reckoning of unmaintainable codebases in a couple years.

I agree with your parenthetical, but Wikipedia actually agrees on your main point: Wikipedia itself is not a source of truth.

Honestly if you’re poisoning your neighbour’s plot for something as petty as a part time view, you don’t belong in that community.

They must be so reviled. How would they even get service?

But if I stop seeing those comments then I’ll have to start making them. Easier to just vote my approval and be glad someone’s done it.
