I don´t understand. Most answers say they want to program but that they don´t want to type, compile, debug, add files to the project, refactor, etc. Well that´s programming.

Asking a prompt to do something is asking a prompt to do something.

In my case I fear the day comes where I can not program anymore and I have to give orders to a prompt.

Not only meritocracy. A big part also believes that they are better than the rest. So they think these problems will never touch them.

I don´t know. Maybe we spend too much time alone in front of a monitor to understand what´s really going on.

Not saying it isn´t useful but with this change Python's crypto depends on Microsoft (https://fstar-lang.org/ and https://project-everest.github.io/)

I like how they present it as a novel idea, when this is as old as it gets. This is not new of course but it seems it won´t stop. Ever.

They are not going to say "we are making an agent to replace programmers. We will use their code and their guidance to train it"

The problem with these large open source projects is that they are already on maintenance mode and the fun part has already been done a long ago. Who wants to work for months doing menial tasks so that when they "graduate" they can start doing maintenance.

Great work! I´ve been looking for something like this for quite a time!

C# syntax support would be welcomed.

New comment by Tarucho in "Why did older computers and OSes use UPPER case instead of lower case?"

Tarucho — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 19:58:18 +0000

Maybe because it makes it easier to read to people with impaired vision. Just a guess.

New comment by Tarucho in "Ripgrep is faster than grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift (2016)"

Tarucho — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 14:00:44 +0000

I guess it is because after decades of use, grep has probably been fixed to handle lots of user cases that the new tools don´t handle because they haven´t found them yet.

I guess it came as childish because that´s the way those perks were given to us by management. In fact the head of a big studio (around 800 people) I worked on refered to these perks in private as "glitter".
