    With music “sounds good” is a sufficient judgment for completeness. With generated code, someone that is an expert has to review it to make sure it does what it’s supposed to, covers edge cases, doesn’t have any security flaws etc. Only an expert is capable, and it is generally faster and produces better quality for the expert to just write the code instead of fixing up what the slot machine dispensed. It’s a cute analogy but all it does is make it obvious that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

    The problem is that people recommend clean code to junior developers all the time. Clean Code is full of terrible advice and heuristics over critical thinking throughout, and is usually foisted on burgeoning juniors when they don’t know any better.

    In other words, you’re correct that adherents of clean code are thinking like junior developers, because that’s what clean code tells you to do.

    Demon Slayer

    It looks like they don’t really watch battle shounen. It’s not really my genre either but I sometimes try them out if i have a lot of friends watching them. Demon Slayer has good art but it also has Zenitsu being insufferable and other hallmarks of the genre that put people that aren’t into it off.





  • Yeah it increases my work when I’m responsible for quality. The most frustrating is when someone asks me for help because they’re stuck then hits me with a barrage of “chatgpt said xxx” complete nonsense while I’m trying to assess the situation

    My company was pushing AI tools aggressively but people embarrassed themselves in chats with managers where I corrected them by actually knowing things enough they let off the gas. I wouldn’t be surprised if they still do to some degree but not with me in the room lol
