In order to replace all work you would need generic purpose robots, hence my line about what you are implying.

Even with all the automation we have now, people still work.

They don’t, not in the way you are implying

You are ofc aware that even if we successfully get rid of capitalism, we can’t get rid of having to work, right?

You just can’t talk to people, period, you are just a dick, you were also just proven to be stupider than a fucking LLM, have a nice day 😀

You see, I wanted to be petty and do another dismissive reply, but instead I fed our convo to copilot and asked it to explain, here you go, as you can see I have previously used it for coding tasks, so I didn’t feed it any extra info, so there you go, even copilot can understand the huge “leap” I made in logic. goddamn the sweet taste of irony.

Copilot reply:

Certainly! Here’s an explanation Person B could consider:

The implied logic in Person A’s argument is that if you distrust code written by Copilot (or any AI tool) simply because it wasn’t written by you, then by the same reasoning, you should also distrust code written by junior developers, since that code also isn’t written by you and may have mistakes or lack experience.

However, in real-world software development, teams regularly review, test, and maintain code written by others—including juniors, seniors, and even AI tools. The quality of code depends on review processes, testing, and collaboration, not just on who wrote it. Dismissing Copilot-generated code outright is similar to dismissing the contributions of junior developers, which isn’t practical or productive in a collaborative environment.

Wouldn’t it be easier to strike a support deal with the libre office developers and just give them the money to do it?

I think it was a US uni campus, that redid the lawn and didn’t put down any walking paths and waited for the desire paths to form and then paved those

But what why would they be riding their loud motorcycles in a coffee shop?

TIL what the fuck this is called in English.

Here is a more fun one that I learned is rather rare, but can scare the shit out of you: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precordial_catch_syndrome

What the fuck is the f slur? Other than fuck

Do you use an IDE for writing your code or do you use a notepad like a “real” programmer? An IDE like Intellij has fancy shit like generating getters, setters, constructors, equals hashscode, you should never use those, real programmers write those by hand.

Your attention detail is very good btw, which I am ofc being sarcastic about because if you had any you’d have noticed I have never said I write my code with chat gpt, I said Unit tests, sql for unit tests.

Ofc attention to detail is not a requirement of software engineering so you should be good. (This was also sarcasm I feel like you need this to be pointed out for you).

Also by your implied logic that the code being not written by you = bad, no company should ever hire Junior engineers, I mean what are you gonna do? Fucking read the code they wrote?

Lmao, okay buddy, based on how many interviews I have sat on in, the chances that you are a worse programmer than me are much higher than you being better than me.

Being a pompous ass dismissive of new tooling makes you chances even worse 😕

For me as a software developer the accuracy is more in the 95%+ range.

On one hand the built in copilot chat widget in Intellij basically replaces a lot my google queries.

On the other hand it is rather fucking good at executing some rewrites that is a fucking chore to do manually, but can easily be done by copilot.

Imagine you have a script that initializes your DB with some test data. You have an Insert into statement with lots of columns and rows so

Inser into (column1,…,column n) Values row1, Row 2 Row n

Addig a new column with test data for each row is a PITA, but copilot handles it without issue.

Similarly when writing unit tests you do a lot of edge case testing which is a bunch of almost same looking tests with maybe one variable changing, at most you write one of those tests, then copilot will auto generate the rest after you name the next unit test, pretty good at guessing what you want to do in that test, at least with my naming scheme.

So yeah, it’s way overrated for many-many things, but for programming it’s a pretty awesome productivity tool.

Why not just a bag of spag?

Because the road design at fault, not people.

Make roads narrower, and people will drive slower

Traffic engineers in the US make too wide roads that psychologically encourages speeding, the posted speed limit doesn’t matter unless police dedicates significant resources to enforcing it

Maybe I am getting old and I read somewhere that as you get older you tend to become more politically conservative or maybe I am a workaholic, but complaining about the 40 hour work week comes off to me as being entitled fucking cunts.

If you don’t want to work 40 hours a week then don’t, give up some stuff in your life and you can do it, or don’t, but then stop whinging.

You are weirdly defensive about coffee

Not to mention your point makes no sense, ofc if you make it taste like something like not coffee then it won’t taste like coffee, but then that defeated the purpose of discussing the taste of coffee, drown it in enough sugar and milk and ofc it will taste good, like add it to a tiramisu and you are not even tasting coffee just a hint of it

No it can’t, coffee doesn’t taste good.

You might disagree, but this is subjective, so…

If you mean like, by the standpoint of coffee purists, then idgaf, it’s shitty tasting make brain go fast water, there is no way to ruin it, how can something that tastes like shit taste more shit? It can’t
