"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

No push to remote? If you’re working on something you care about you shouldn’t only have a local copy.
Backups are for smart people. Not who we're dealing with here.
Oh I’m aware. I’m just clarifying that a .git folder isn’t a backup lol.
What? But it says right there on the box. GIT = Great Interface for Takups
Image a git commit of 50k files. Lol.
Yep, make sure that you pushed somewhere on a private branch. But the new devs with their nocode-NoSQL-AI tools have a hard time understanding difficult concepts like "files" or "folders."
I am afraid to know what does that mean
I can sometimes be bad about pushing my inflight work, but I start getting anxious about it once I've reached a certain point. Like I might be brushing my teeth and be like, oh shit i should push that up.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I feel like programming tools shouldn't blow away your checked in changes, even if you haven't pushed yet. You do you, though.
A power surge or some other force majeure could though. Push your shit off site.
But what about the data gremlins?
Buy a service where you put your own git if you're so worried about them.
And cave to the subscription imps?
I learned about thst that one day…
I learned the hard way
I was going to the high school of hard knocks when they offered me a scholarship to the college of hard knocks, I TOOK IT!
Knock knock
I'm here.
