I do a ton of Powershell scripting, and AI is either a half competent programmer, or someone let grandpa respond with the syntax from nineteen dickety two

I would almost find the Wisconsin one funny since it’s already a state and I’d just assume grandpa Hitler was sundowning.

Goddamn this is fucked…

Man, you just made me sad by remembering that my local Pub D that didn’t give a shit about kids, dogs, or weird sex shit is closing down. Sucks cuz it’s the only openly LGBTQ+ bar in the area that I’m aware of.

Why wait until you quit? I’ll do that when we get a new guy?.

FNG gets passed the shit tasks I don’t have time for 🤣

You should be safe as long as you don’t use an elevator with/owned by an eccentric billionaire inventor.

So now we know how to instantly delist any project on GitHub.

Boring/repetitive work. For example, I regularly use an AI coding assistant to block our basic loop templates with variables filled in, or have it quickly finish the multiple case statements or assigning values to an object with a bunch of properties.

In little things like that, it’s great. But once you get past a medium sized function, it goes off the rails. I’ve had it make up parameters in stock library functions based on what I asked it for.

The biggest dealer I have ever been to had like 5 salespersons in store at any given time.

And probably half that in financing people.

I worked for a dealership group for a few years, and we had 4 different buildings in our local campus. Like you said, maybe 3-6 sales people in any given shift in each building, but only 1-2 financing people on shift in the same building.

Not even mentioning that the easy sales still took 30-45 minutes to get through financing. There’s no possibile way that this is legit…

Lol, imagine thinking the USA and Russia would be on opposite sides when we have multiple Russian assets in the White House. And in Congress. And probably in the supreme court.

This is why y’all are a joke. There are two links that link to tankies being tankies, but you gotta hold onto your ego instead of clicking a link.

I’m so done engaging with people like you

Because you fucking can’t. Intellectual honesty is something you’ve only read about LOL

Why would I bother linking more shit for you when you’re already *crickets* against the shit that’s already been linked? You’re hot on the draw to respond to me without a link, but awfully quiet to those who linked you what you wanted, why don’t you go talk to them? Or would you rather engage with what you think is going to be the easy dunk lol?

If you’re not going to respond to people who have already done the shit you asked, why should I bother to waste more time when you appear to be participating in bad faith?

Tankies are a joke, and it stopped being funny years ago.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

You have seen people who are against US imperialism having a wide set of opinions on the conflict. But no communists support Putin. He’s a bigoted reactionary.

Lol, no true scottsman much? I’ve looked through histories on some of the people I’ve run into, and their history says they are. Honestly, you may as well be saying

‘Sure they say they’re communist, express communist beliefs, read communist literature and engage in long, drawn out conversations regarding communist praxis, but they support Putin so they’re not really a communist.’

Do these people exist or are they just strawmen? I’ve not really ever encountered so-called “tankies”.

They’re strawmen.

Anything can be called a strawman if you don’t bother to look at evidence showing that it happens.

but with an imperialist power like USA and maybe even Russia and China if you count them

It would be silly to discount Russia and China’s imperialism. They’re both on the level of the US, they just lack the power projection to be as bad as the US. But the actions they’ve taken with the level of power projection they have show that fact.

That’s what I do at work, even though I’m salary.

Management decided to hire a new guy and then have a round of layoffs within 6 months, effectively canning someone to replace him. Since then, we’ve had multiple times where we have hundreds of tickets sitting unassigned because there’s more work than people. So shit sits and falls through the cracks until someone has time or something is on fire.

It fucking sucks, but eventually the bean counters will see that we actually needed that extra body…

It all depends on how time tracking is implemented.

Tell me I have to account for my time in 15-30 min increments? Fine, I can put it into a spreadsheet and track it.

Tell me I have to track real time spent? Get entirely fucked, and I hope you’re ok with spending time fixing my time punches because I absolutely am going to forget to open or close a time entry because I’m working on 3-4 tasks at any given time.

I’ve done both, and while I won’t intentionally sabotage the latter, my rampant ADHD and terrible memory have got my back on that one.

Would it be an instance of the class since the first thing you’re doing is pulling the one property instead of the object itself?

Maybe there’s more implementation nuance here but it seems like an opinionated rule that has zero effect on performance unless that code is being called thousands of times every second

It’s good practice to get in the habit of coding to only do the things you want/need to do rather than hoping the compiler does it for you.

This particular constructor call may be light, but there may be constructors that have a lot of overhead. Or you might be running alongside 1000 other processes who said the same thing and you start to see performance degradation.
