Read the images top-to-bottom, left-to-right.

They used a shortcut to call the LLM to fix an error. The final “fix” was for the model to add a comment after the error saying “this is the error”. It’s about at the level of a real developer leaving a comment to themself saying “FIXME [later]”, instead of just fixing it.

This should be taken as evidence they’ve been training off the entire internet.

Fourth panel should just be him dead. I’d have already pulled my hand out

Sure, maybe in the same way that the Ford Model T-500 is a solution to the problem of automobiles.

Pornhub is a car from the 201Xs. And most other media players are varyingly from 1960 and 2025, i.e. out-of-date and over-engineered.

This is a great advertisment for what real developers do. You shouldn’t just crank out the first idea that works. You should be doing something that is smarter and sensible.

Beep?

The rocks ain’t magic, dingus. The rocks are just a cipherstone to let us teach lightning how to count to 2 and do addition.

Rubes diminishing the achievements of hardworking artificiers.

Hell yeah, I made these errors myself. Homegrown.

I feel like it’s missing the setup of the dev complaining about why their architecture is a mess. Seems like a “management is ruining software” joke.

But…it’s canceled, not rescheduled for a different time that day. You just have free time. I don’t understand how that affects other timing.

Then give them some code and tell them to explain it. Having testees regurgitate algorithm implementations from memory is just testing rote memory.

I thought we had all lived through terrible public schools that just tested memory, and resolved to do better.

I just had someone send me a link to that when I asked a question. Infuriating.

I’m confused by this comment. “The original is even better” reads like you are informing TO about the original. But you’d expect them to be aware of it, what with them referencing the joke nickname and saying “a new variation”.

It’s mostly confusing because there are clearer ways of posting the original comic for the uninformed than referencing the only person certain to have seen it.

I find it as funny as the original post

I wouldn’t even really call this recursion. This is closer to a wrapper around the enjoy function to set variables so that “enjoy” doesn’t throw an error.

I may be on the wrong side of history but I can’t see what other role a car could get in the film industry except vehicle.

We need to signal boost this, if true, because that is an egregious waste of someone’s time and a theft of their due compensation.

“*Video game piracy is not stealing” is closer to a statement I can get onboard with. A trivial example to disprove the former statement is the classic, seafaring pirate.

But a more salient example would be pirating music. If you have a pirated copy of an album such that you don’t need to buy another and don’t stream it from any official sources, you are materially and negatively impacting that artist.

Edit: it came to mind after I posted you might hold the position “I haven’t taken anything from them and I wouldn’t have bought it regardless of my pirating, so I haven’t deprived them of anything.” A position I’ve seen a number of times and fundamentally disagree with. Not trying to be rude but I’m not going to engage with that particular thought experiment.

That is not always the case, from my experience

Fuck, I’m ready to try anything at this point.
