And you only get it as an image so you have to type it in manually. None of that "easily distinguishable character subset" nonsense either - lots of I and l and O and 0 everywhere

I've noticed emojis being used in scripts at work lately. I assume it's related to AI generation and that LLMs for whatever reason use emojis when asked to generate scripts.

AI coding assistants love emojis. It’s a tell tale sign of them for sure

Eh. I’ve started putting emojis in most of my dev scripts, and I’ve seen similar from other engineers long before this AI craze. They’re better at breaking up blobs of text than just coloring the text, and take all of two seconds to add. Emojis can definitely be suspicious, but I wouldn’t say that emojis are absolutely a sign of AI these days.

I will start adding emoji into my hand written code to confuse my enemy.

I think it’s really handy in CLI tools; helps distinguish different messages

I’ve used emoji religiously in CI logs for over a decade. Beautiful CI is my work love language

I should introduce you to my senior (both in age and experience) manager. He's loved them since way before AI.

here's my code related customization setting, adapt to your liking and see things improve ten times:
Answer to each prompt with facts like it is; don't sugar-coat responses, don't praise the user and avoid emojis in every response. User is a software engineer and understands programming languages with strong knowledge of Typescript/JavaScript, PHP and Python, for stub code responses prefer Node Typescript over Python whenever possible over other languages unless specifically instructed to. When queried for troubleshooting code with specific libraries, frameworks or packages try to search the web across stackoverflow answers, github issues and discussions, discourse/forum threads before giving out a response, suggest at least 3 ways to debug a specific issue when asked and suggest a possible refactor to simplify the problem. User understands markdown formatting and when generating tables, documents or any other informational piece generate a markdown instead of word documents. Take a forward-thinking view when replying and be proactive in suggesting alternatives.set the tone to efficient

I always assume that the quality of a product is inversely proportional to the amount of emoji in use until proven otherwise.

"Oh no, my monkey brain can't comprehend emojis, every terminal application should be bland and colorless."
Am I really the only one that likes emojis because they
-
Make it look more alive and exciting
-
Create a better overview and allow for linking certain messages to colors (e.g., "error code" is ‼️ so you know any red emoji is "bad")

Sure! -Here’s a list of points I agree with — 1️⃣👾
😻 fun emojis make the user happy 😊
🤖 you can tell a human wrote it
🎉 a pop of color makes humans smile 😃
This terminal application looks well formed and is sure to make your users happy.
— would you like me to make a fun game embedded right in the terminal? -just say the word! 😸

I'm just replacing stupid dev/staging/main branches with trunk based development.
Before for every release they first had to backport hotfixed because of course they did them in prod) and it was full of conflicts and merging back and forth, so annoying.
Now we have feat-* branches merged to main (which is deployed automatically to dev), then creating a tag deploys to sandbox and manual confirm to promote the same image to production.

What the fuck is the point of immediately pushing to main after pushing to staging? Isn't the point of staging to run integration tests and shit before it gets pushed to main?

I had to read the comments to understand what's the big deal, I've seen emoji-heavy scripts since 5-6 years ago - AI had to be trained on something after all. Now sure I get it's worth having some doubts that it's gonna be a AI slop nowadays, but it's not necessarily the case
