I don’t think this is a huge problem with a correctly set up text editor and the right techniques to limit code nesting. Doesn’t change my dislike of python tho.
It’s a legal complaint. Someone is going to get fined, likely thousands of dollars, if the complaint is substantiated. I strongly suspect a human will be reading the whole thing more than once, before proceeding to gather much more info.
He was well known as a dramatic actor before pivoting into comedy. That’s why he got the role in Airplane, they wanted known dramatic actors to play all that absurdity straight. I was just re-reading about it to avoid saying anything dumb in this comment, and learned that when asked about being cast “against type” in comedies, he said that he’d always really been cast against type in his earlier dramatic roles, and comedy was what he wanted to be doing from the start. Glad he got his shot!
Was this analogy actually wrong, though? The internet is more like tubes than like trucks. Tubes captures the concept of bandwidth, as well as infrastructure needing to be in place prior to sending anything.
Another advantage: enforced compartmentalization. If you have a single binary, someone will always give in to the temptation to bypass whatever honor policy is keeping your code from becoming spaghetti.
Bah, 2 whole days? I learned React in 1 day!.. then another, and another, and then I got a book, and a few years later… I learned how to fix whatever ChatGPT spits out in React in 2 days!
This person also lectured me on using AI to write code. Saying it was better than a human (in 2023), and that it made him senior level. They practically mocked me when I told them ChatGPT was pretty bad at coding.
Hey, I used to be a “Full Stack Developer”… then I took an arro… went part blind, had a couple heart attacks, got burned out… and still learned how to fix the ChatGPT stuff in 2 days! 😄
I’d say something about them being the type of person to think that just because the car’s running it means the engineering is top-tier, but then again I’d be surprised if he actually bothered really testing the code before saying that shit.
Either way, they sound like a genius and like one day they’re going to become the CTO of a hot new startup that will eventually replace Amazon on the Big Tech leaderboard.
That’s the true spirit of development. I’m probably still doing it wrong, but it functions most of the time and no one seems to notice my bugs! Paycheck!!
In a recent post mortem we notified customers of a bug we found and mentioned how long that was in production (since it could have affected their data).
One of them asked us, why there was such a long “delay” (their word) until we found and fixed it…
