I will admit—these are kneejerk reactions, but they're honestly my reactions to reading the following statements. I know, I know, hanging onions off our belt is long out of style.
And get off my lawn!
Anyway … statment the first:
Think jq, but without having to ask an LLM (Large Language Model) to write the query for you.
Via Lobsters [1], “A float walks into a gradual type system [2]”
So … using jq is so hard you need to use a tool that will confabulate ¼ of the time in order to construct a simple query? Is that what you are saying? That you can't be bothered to use your brain? Just accept the garbage spewed forth by a probabilistic text slinger?
Really?
And did you use an LLM to help write the code? If not, why not?
Sigh.
And statement the second:
… and most importantly, coding can be social and fun again.
Via Lobsters [3], “introducing tangled [4]”
If I had known that programming would become a team sport, I, an introvert, would have choosen a different career. Does XXXXXXX everything have to be social? Why can't it just be fun? I need to be micromanaged as well?
