It takes a lot of practice and patience. Even for experienced programmers it can be a slow process and full of missteps. One of the main skills is to be patient and methodical enough to figure out why something doesn’t work. Don’t be discouraged or impatient, and don’t be tempted to get AI to do it for you or to find your mistakes. You can use AI later but it isn’t a good idea when you’re trying to learn the skills. Try to do it yourself and, when it doesn’t work first time, take time to figure out why. Then do this lots more times.

And based not in science but in MAGA’s drunken manosphere delusions.

And the “fix” was to add an option to hide the spinner, it seems. I guess understanding why stuff is happening is too old-fashioned for today’s vibe pioneers.

This seems unsurprising, given how AI agents typically have elevated privileges and are notoriously hard to lock down.

Maybe we could ask the AI to do that thinking bit then tell us what to say.

Hoyt has an audience of millions who tune in to watch the streamer scroll through social media, play video games, and react to the latest news. Alongside gaming content, Hoyt pushes right-wing talking points on subjects ranging from “identity politics and progressive values” to immigration, amassing 2.4 billion views on his YouTube channels alone in 2025.

He does nothing useful, possesses no valuable skills, is entirely dependent for his living on the labour of software developers and journalists, and all he does is play games and stoke his viewers’ anger against immigrants who do actual work. Who’s the parasite again?

They’re replacing underpaid immigrant workers with underpaid overseas workers remotely controlling a crummy robot, while some rich techbro asshole in the middle skims off almost all the money. I do hope they fail with this stupid idea, but your techbro will already have made off with the money for their next startup scam.

I know my colleagues and former colleagues, and have reason to be confident it didn’t.

I think it’s fine for people to give the most cursory explanation here, just enough to help someone understand what’s funny. There are plenty of other sites where one can learn about Rust’s borrow checker in more detail, and this is a humor community.

I wouldn’t expect anyone to know about it unless they had taken an interest in Rust. It’s pretty unusual.

legacy code at least used to make sense at some point in the past.

That assumption doesn’t hold where I work.

Yes, I have always enjoyed trying to create elegant architecture and code, more than I get satisfaction from the end result. I’ve always found it frustrating how many colleagues were prepared to throw together any old junk as long as the right thing came out in the end. On the positive side, maybe the AI does raise the quality of what some of them contribute.

Maybe they edited README.md by hand.

This is the new normal, it seems. My developer colleagues are bragging about how long it has been since they wrote a line of code.

One of these two men is a waste of space, and it ain’t Mamdani.

US politicians can’t be seen to be associating with the truth.

Reticulum is more versatile.

Seems more likely RFK Jr. would go this way.

We built the library. Someone else started charging admission.

Capitalism working as intended.

It has been around for a few years so there are almost certainly other techniques it doesn’t mention.
