This tweet turned out to be an invitation for every imbecile on planet Earth to leave their worthless opinion. OK, look how it plays out in practice. I needed a certain functionality in magit. It wasn't googleable and it took me a lot of time to explain to the clanker what I want, because it kept losing context and running in circles. So I kept arguing with the clanker, asking it to do this and that until I got an idea, which finally made the whole thing work. If this was a Stack Overflow interaction, it would've become an addition to their _public_ high-quality data. Instead it's now buried on some proprietary OpenAI server and is likely not being used for training. At best it's a signal in the ocean of noise and only accessible by a single AI company -- not available to the public or other AI companies. This is just a single example. Lots of things have become weak proprietary signals among vast amounts of noise -- which previously would've ended up being data in carefully curated datasets.

Stack Overflow was one of the best things that ever happened to the tech industry, and its downfall will send shockwaves far into the future, because there will no longer be a source of high‑quality well‑structured data to train AI on.

erectfully: "this was a stupid argument for 'programming is linguistics -- not math'" retards on the Internet: "you're wrong because math is linguistics" Imagine being intellectually disabled to the point where you think Y=Z is a counter-argument to ¬(X=Z & X≠Y).

@effectfully I don’t think these roles were “same” roles.

Most of my disagreements with devs here come from the fact that they work on shit that is allowed to break, while I work on shit that is not.

It's ok to be wrong. I've been wrong a thousand times and I've posted things that turned out to be blatantly false. Even worse, some of those were within my supposed area of expertise. What's not ok is bullshitting your audience. If you unironically bend the truth for likes and views, or outright disregard the very notion of truth, you need to be called out. At which point you don't deserve to be treated with decency, for you have traded dignity for fame. The fame you'll get. Learn stuff, share your opinions and make mistakes. Just be willing to acknowledge and correct them. As no gain is worth abandoning the realm of truth.

No woman has ever made me feel more humiliated and powerless than GHC regularly does. So if anyone is into femdom, learn Haskell instead. You _will_ regret it (as desired).
