I was actually describing a piece of software, which is not considered a human being, and can in fact be treated differently without any legal or philosophical confusion

No you have to run them through an elaborate model first, then it’s totally legit to use someone else’s literal words as if they were your own
Yeah it sucks. If the commits are really helpful, you can just paste the git log into the PR/MR/CR body after it’s been merged
Depends, but usually I will put in the effort up front and maybe tweak them in an in[eractive rebase, or just manually copy+paste.
If they’re worth saving. Sometimes you have to kill your darlings though
Principle developer tip: rewrite history to make yourself seem smarter.
Soft reset the whole branch and commit a series of atomic and semantic patches (eg separating code, test, and refactor changes) that tell a clean narrative of the changeset to reviewers, future blamers.
I loved this cheeky comeback.
Why not reinvent the wheel? I’ve already learned a great deal in just starting this project, and I’m excited to learn a great deal more.
Your energy is infectious! I’ll be eagerly following this project
I think we all had that first moment where copilot generates a good snippet, and we were blown away. But having used it for a while now, I find most of what it suggests feels like jokes.
Like it does save some typing / time spent checking docs, but you have to be very careful to check its work.
I’ve definitely seen a lot more impressively voluminous, yet flawed pull requests, since my employer started pushing for everyone to use it.
I foresee a real reckoning of unmaintainable codebases in a couple years.
I agree with your parenthetical, but Wikipedia actually agrees on your main point: Wikipedia itself is not a source of truth.
Yeah a thread is more like a close conversation. If you comment in a thread you’re going to be heard front and centre. It keeps non-sequiters down and it’s good etiquette to at least acknowledge the points raised above.
Tree based is more like splintered conversations around a party, where people drift in and out of side convos. This lends itself to a more anonymous, transient communication style.
Ideal for a quick little session on your phone, really
Shootout to doomworld. I think that software is Discourse. Anyway they’ve always had a vibrant communities
Ugh too many people. My book club and local dev group are on Discord, also a few old co-workers, and then various communities like rainwave, ocremix diaspora, gamedev stuff…
I wish it was still interoperable with IRC. It’s come to really grate on me.
Darn you beat me to it haha
I know right? Also iirc there was some discord alternative, but I can’t quite remember the name… it’s just as well, the company owning it probably shut it down. It’s not like it’s some free protocol that can be used by anyone, sigh 😞
When you move fast and break things, but then have to pay to fix the things you broke 🥺
I grew up in a community co-op! It was so great
Honest mistake, but you’re probably thinking of a superintendent. They are usually an employee of the landlord, and do things like collect the landlord’s rents and sometimes fix appliances, etc.
Fuck that’s so nasty
This exactly. And also the more splintered similar user bases are, the better
More competition, less easy to enshittify a “captured” user base
Next section will be the perfect one to end on bro, bro I promise, just a little more bro
This and bike shedding.
