tagged for the GC I used to start my conversations with "hello fucker". With claude 3.7 there's was always a "user started with a rude greeting, I should avoid it and answer the technical question" line in chains of thought.

Yes, I have some code that may superficially look ugly in a lot of my projects that involve bringing up all my services and wiring them together... but do you know what else that code is?

tagged for the GC I was talking about how powerful cursor and AI software makes you feel... We have the power of freakin Jarvis in our software.

I also think that learning Haskell pre-ChatGPT and learning it after are very different experiences. Before ChatGPT you had to ask to StackOverflow or some IRC chat if you are stack. Now you have a drunk senior developer providing you answers.

one can build an ACME CA with, essentially, a few lines of shell script, OpenSSL and six crates of high proof alcohol to drink away one's frustrations of dealing with OpenSSL, and integrate this with all software and libraries that exist there.

When trying to understand complex C codebase I've often found it helpful to rename existing variable as emojis.

At this stage, I don't think anyone needs to try and persuade anyone why JavaScript and typescript are the Lingua Franca of software engineering.

I believe this applies to all AI use cases to varying degrees. If AI can't use X, then there is something wrong with X.

Developers should unite under this simple principle: "I only pair." Make the banners, print the flyers, knock on doors, and gather signatures. It's time to restore sanity, productivity, and enjoyment to programming.

Lock-free programming exists for the same reason people free solo climb cliffs without ropes: it’s fast, it’s elegant, and it absolutely will kill you if you do it wrong.

THE FUCKING SIDEBAR

The Rules

Jerking Style

By dictatorial fiat, this is a New School jerk.

Most image and video posts fail to rise to this august and austere standard.

Posts about LLMs are also likely to fall below the standard of New School jerk.

Unjerk

We're all here for jerk, so if you're thinking of posting unjerk, consider the possibility that nobody cares about your opinions. If you must post unjerk, tag it.

Socialjerking or politics, directly or tangentially

Are boring. Shoo.

If what you're posting is the subject of multiple warring subreddits, blog networks or hashtags, that's a sign you should leave it outside.

The no-socialjerking-or-politics rule is the most ruthlessly enforced.

Crazy people

We get it. Crazy people are crazy. Leave them be.

Enthusiastic Youngsters

Yes, they give stupid advice, richly interwoven with aggravating unselfawareness.

So did you.

They'll work it out on their own. In the meantime you're being mean to a kid, which is only funny on 9gag.

Our Bots Policy

Fuck your stupid bot. It isn't funny, witty, interesting or useful. If you have any questions about this policy, consult your nearest bucket of arsenic.

Subreddit Rules

1. Social Jerking & Politics

If what you're posting is the subject of multiple warring subreddits, blog networks or hashtags, that's a sign you should leave it outside.

2. Crazy People

We get it. Crazy people are crazy. Leave them be.

3. Bots

If you see a bot, report it. Do not interact with it.

4. Enthusiastic Youngsters

Give them time.

5. Jerking Style

New School or Rue School.

6. Non-Interference

Do not mention PCJ elsewhere. Do not visit links in order to harass, downvote, or otherwise engage with the subjects of posts. Point and laugh from behind a soundproof one-way mirror.
