I’m a self-taught C# dev, I’ve found tremendous success specifically just describing what I want to do in dumb language that I’d feel stupid asking people IRL about and that aren’t googleable without knowing what both the terms “null-coalescing” and “non-merchandise supergroup” are describing.

There are a lot of patterns that don’t have obvious names and that aren’t easily described without describing a specific scenario in a way that might only make sense institutionally, or with additional context that your average person might not have. ChatGPT is fairly good at being the “buddy that you have a bunch of in-jokes with that can remember things better than you”. I can skip a lot of explaining why I need to do a thing a certain way like I can with my coworkers (who all aren’t programmers), and I can get helpful answers for programming questions that my coworkers don’t know the answers to.

It’s frustrating to see this incredibly advanced context-aware autocorrect on steroids get used in ways that don’t acknowledge the inherent strengths of what LLMs are actually great at doing. It’s infuriating to have that potential be actively misused and packaged as a service and have that mediocre service sold to you once a month as a necessity by idiots in suits watching a line on a chart.

Nano is the tool that people use when they don’t have a need for TUI editors in general and therefore don’t want to have to memorize how people with teletypes decided things should have been done 75 years ago and who also don’t want to get dragged into endless pointless bickering arguments about which set of greybeards was objectively right about their sets of preferences.

I’m glad people enjoy the editors they use and also I just wanna change a single fuckin line in a config file every once in a while without needing to consult a reference guide.

I strongly doubt they’re communicating through honks to each other, it sounds like a safety feature that needs tuning to me.

Don’t forget the cigarette trees!

It’s fun, worth trying out. I see it as a “if you like it, you’ll really like it, but if you don’t like it you won’t hate it” kinda game.

Form, not function.

And to top it all off, release codenames are Discworld references!

I have fond opinions of Veggietales. From my recollection, it seems to be a genuine attempt at Christlike programming instead of Christian programming, if that makes sense.

The creator has a reasonable head and has some public opinions that I vehemently agree with. I’m not currently aware of any reason that Veggietales should be considered weird Christian propaganda, even if it is Christian propaganda.

To give context to my saying that, I grew up with friends that made me hide my harry potter book so that it wouldn’t get me banned from their house as a literal spawn of satan. Veggietales was absolutely the best programming they watched, hands down, from every aspect.

Seems reasonable enough. Dude’s allowed to have opinions I think are bad, and seems to get over his bad opinions in the face of much worse opinions, inasmuch as a direct statement from the person in question can show that.

“A”

It’s a bit more consumer focused, easier for Grandma kind of thing. Syncthing isn’t hard, but does have in my opinion a bit more difficult of an initial setup with features like introducers that can make things difficult if configured wrong.

Why?

I don’t understand the purpose of this comment, aside from downvote farming.

Aww, not intended for production you say

I think you may have added the “us gov” part from inference, vigilante citizens and vigilante cops have bombed American cities and citizens in the past, and will again.

Be straighter and whiter, I guess

They don’t recognize or value software patents because they aren’t recognized by the government where the project is run from.

As far as I understand it, they’re given equal weight in the order of operations, it’s just whichever you hit first left to right.

Thank goodness you clarified.
