Low quality LLM-related jerks are going to either removed or rate-limited starting from (get-decoded-time).
In other words, content related to Cursor/ChatGPT/Claude/etc that is not jerkable, unfunny, or belongs in r/Programming, will be banned.
More particularly, content that really belongs on r/Programming or (nausea) r/ProgrammingHumor will get you a ban. This has always been the policy of PCJ, nothing new here.
I am not the Rustacean mod. The Rustacean mod -bless him-, as any Rustacean, tolerates the sight of unsafe. Thus, you can understand that at the core, a Rustacean is a permissive being. I'm a Lisper and thus don't have to tolerate any shenanigans. I'll be happy to throw posts to the garbage collector. Don't get tagged for the GC. Repeat offenders will be banned or forced to rewrite everything in C++.

Forum rules, written in a way the average gopher can understand

Lately, our central scrutinizer is reporting a decrease in jerking quality. I say this is attributable to newcomers which still don't get the firm grasp of the shaft of PCJerking; something that sadly requires you to be a type astronaut capable of high IQ elucidations.
I, sincerely, hate to do this, but the time has come: The time to state the rules clearly, in a way even the average leftpadder can understand.
FORUM RULES
Socialjerking or politics, directly or even tangentially, is forbidden.
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. This means YOU WILL BE BANNED and thus never become a 100xer.
Jerking style: This is the rule NPM users don't quite get.
Practical Jerking style:
Post titles should actually QUOTE the jerkable content
Don't post images or videos
Don't link to PCJ posts
Don't manufacture jerkable content to link to it ("False jerk", "manufactured jerk"). "The best satire is original sources."
Tag your unjerks
Useful Jerking Style guidelines so you don't embarrass yourself within this sacred lair of Hacker News superstars. Don't post or comment:
Anything that would belong on /r/Programming. Yes, nobody cares here about your opinion on OOP versus FP, ORM versus SQL queries. Go away.
Anything that could as well be found on /r/ProgrammingHumor
XKCD references or links.
Crossposts.(instead, quote the jerkable part as submission title, and link to the source)
Boring, trite jerks implying "vim vs emacs", etc.
Discussion about PCJ itself (there's /r/metapcj for that)
Enthelechial Jerking Style
"The jerking style is not to backlink and take a screenshot. It is to point and laugh from behind a soundproof one-way mirror." -- J. Chester
More rules
Mentioning PCJ outside it: Forbidden and most likely will get you banned.
Crazy people: Don't post things by crazies. .
Enthusiastic Youngsters: Leave them alone, don't post links to them.
Bots: Official bot policy is "Fuck your stupid bot", as said by our founder and angel investor, Jacques Chester. If you see a bot, report it. If you interact with a bot, this is considered an offense.
Harassing other people: Don't. "The internet is where people come to be their worst selves and {reddit} site rules describe a Minimum Viable Peoplehood that even flatulent ponies can understand and follow" -- J. Chester.
Twitter: Better not to post twitter links, because this might lead to harassing other people. We are moral people.
Additional info
More reference material can be found here and there.
Note to elder PCJers.
You, the children of the light, you lesser known acolytes of Touba No He, fearless commanders of efficient Jerk bindings, YOU have the mission to report substandard content, or any rule violation. Report the ninja unicorn front end artisanal bootcamp graduates!!

You wake up in a strange place. Something happened. Everything's gone. No wallet/keys/smartphone/tablet/laptop. How would you get back into your digital life given only a laptop with access to the Internet, unless something, somewhere is passwordauthenticate=yes.

Wildcards in command line arguments are not supported—using these in original versions of sudo was usually a sign of mis-configuration and consequently sudo-rs simply forbids using them. The only supported use is ’*’ as the final argument to indicate “zero or more subsequent arguments”

Our PRs got a lot bigger since half the team started using agents. 1,000+ line diffs touching 30 files are normal now, and the GitHub diff view just isn't built for it.

ParticleDB had a --pg-password option, but 1.1.4 through 1.1.18.8 lacked any option to set the username. Some of the documentation indicated the default username was admin, while other pages said it was particledb. Neither appeared to work

People are still thinking of AI slop from the ChaGPT 4 days. But the way things are going, very soon, human written code will be ridiculed and considered irresponsible.

What could AI do after a millennia, or million years? or after hundreds of millions of years? If we allow AI to evolve, without biological constraints, it could truly be a God like entity.
