Each IP address is either from a residential proxy network, or from AWS / GCP / DigitalOcean. And each IP requests at human speed. 1000 of them are an issue though.

> what drives a person to do that

There are courses on how to use an LLM to better market to people, to do PR, to communicate with other people. Grifters don't care about the human aspect or whatever, their goal is to grift. Comments and other text are just a means to an end (money).

Neither did Luigi. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

You were right to call out. I upvoted your comments.

Right, but on interviews I've been on it's never the goal to test _exact syntax knowledge_. It's not hard to distinguish between someone who just can't program vs. someone who has knowledge of many languages and has a bit of a mish-mash in their head in an interview setting.

There are people who just can't program for whatever reason, regardless of whether they could previously. And they constantly try to interview at a programming position.

Wow. Can you speak more about this experience?

Yeah. Nobody mandated Jetbrains products, almost every developer I know decided for themselves. Actually, it was the opposite: I remember asking a company I once worked for to buy me a license. Took 6 months for them to finally agree. Now my monthly allotment of tokens is way bigger than the price of that license, and it was given freely.

I can confirm it's an enhancement in writing code specifically. We've been actively using CC in our company for more than 6 months already.

Notably, the product itself isn't really better for users. And almost everything else apart coding now takes the bigger percentage of time. So as devs we could either just fuck around and refactor endlessly, or chill out and "complete the sprint in 30% of time". It was known for a long time that churning out code is not the bottleneck.

Me too. I'm upset, but not _too_ upset. I'm not a big fan of other things as well, for example things CEOs do.

Why not fire people humanely, even if you pay a lot?

I'm not the original user you were talking with. I just think you're just saying things to be upsetting to that user, with no basis in reality.

I don't know about this advice. However much time you spend with your loved ones isn't ever going to be enough. There will always be regret and "I wish I had more".
