Problem: parse CLI flags OOP mindset: "I find merging methods corresponding to different sets of invariants slightly inelegant." And they still don't get it. Solve the problem dude stop playing 4D chess to write a for loop
@unclebobmartin @antoniosarosi For what it's worth, I find this class good, but this is one of the few cases where I'm iffy on law of Demeter. I'd keep the tree structure separate from the interaction with each marshaller. I find merging methods corresponding to different sets of invariants slightly inelegant.

Whenever you post something like "X is associated with Y" or "X can sometimes mean Y" and a commenter replies with something like "That's not always true," you have to block them. Not (only) because they are annoying, but also because that is not a person who should be exposed to

The most crossplatform UI framework isn't a Web Browser. It's VT100 terminal. The programs using ANSI Escape Codes will very likely be usable in 10-20 years unchanged. And this isn't a good thing, btw. API politics got so bad we can't agree on how to put a triangle on the screen.

I've made an amazing pack of 800 audio-reactive shaders in collaboration with @XorDev, designed for VJs and visual artists. Anybody can use them with the open-source XorPlayer and Spout. They work without audio too, great as moving backgrounds! Download: https://t.co/RJR6Bg7qrL

This is legitimately what a lot of people think. It's very sad. https://t.co/iyI7RUyGBv
@SCHONGESAGT Because frontend is the pinnacle of software engineering. Game dev is much easier than Next.js apps with state management

We all know that Bruce Lee was famous for his slow, crampy kicks. They really nailed it here.

Who mocapped Bruce Lee for this game, and why wasn't it someone who can kick better than my 54-year-old ass? Dude can't even extend his legs. You know that Star Wars Kid video with the lightsaber? He can kick better than Mocapped Bruce Lee. https://t.co/cT4AcjhPv8

This can happen to you. Back up your work on something that you own, not something that you are able to rent only until someone doesn't like what you said. https://t.co/CpCQI8TDmq

So, reminder: the quality of code output by these systems is *very low* and the AIs themselves don't understand the output. This is obvious to anyone who knows how to program. There are still use cases, for example, to output a large volume of low-quality code that is not

Hearing from a lot of good founders that AI tools are writing most of their code now. Software engineers orchestrate the AI. They are also finding it extremely hard to hire because most experienced engineers have their heads in the sand and refuse to learn the latest tools.
