Then why are you using source control at all? You can manually copy the directory and name it “— Copy”.

Yeah, but you’ll probably figure it out eventually.

Besides the rule.against bringing this here, it’s also just dumb. It shows incredibly clearly that you’re 100% only talk. It’s just so incredibly cowardly to call for someone else to sacrifice.

That’s the part I get, but what does having the corporate spyware running 24/7 accomplish? What kind of telemetry would they even get out of that other than ip/location, which isn’t all that interesting.

Can you explain this disabling sleep mode thing? What does having the thing awake while it’s closed even accomplish?

But ci/cd though

They’re shaping a narrative. Don’t be too effective in countering it, or …

I wouldn’t call the apologists for Russia and China “leftist” though. The only thing "left’ about them is that they hate the United States. That isn’t enough to qualify, imo.

Ignorance, fear, or are you just following the kid’s trend of anti-ai, pushback against corporate desperation?

It’s not realistic to expect no AI assistance in coding in 2026.

It’s also not a stand-in for a human. There’s a huge field of gray where it’s unclear how much of it was fully vibe coded vs how much is carefully hand reviewed and/or written.

I’ve been a professional developer for decades and I’ve done both. Obviously I’ve hand coded stuff for many years. The fully vibe coded stuff is personal, to test and learn the capabilities of the tech. My professional stuff I watch much more closely, and I’m much more targeted in what I’m having the AI do.

That said, if I were gonna use this I’d actually review the code. I’m not recommending this guy’s stuff, but you can’t rule it out on the basis of ai assistance alone.

Yeah, but it might take years for these slop companies to actually collapse under the weight of their own tech debt. Do you know how many quarters that is!

Called what? That you didn’t like their use of emojis?

What does that have to do with this? You didn’t call shit.

People were playing text-based multiplayer, effectively mmos with PvP well before Tim-Berners Lee invented the Web Browser.

But why? You don’t need telnet to transfer text.

I’ll always be able to play Balatro, Factorio, and he’ll, I’d go to text based MUDs first.

Like a wireless router?

Can your neighborhood communicate when the Internet goes down like Iran?

The issue here is that there isn’t really a way to ban anyone. No matter how many times they vote or how many AI chat bots they use to keep their accounts active.

If you comment, yes. A bunch of copied headlines with no comments? No.

Now that’s real GDP.
