A Tech Priest is way smarter than any software developer you could ever think of.

Your joke overestimates the intelligence of real life humans.

New comment by makerdiety in "Principia Mathematica is modern and insightful"

Yikes, guys/girls. I got downvoted to -4 points for a misunderstanding or something. Because the author of the website would probably agree with my simple point that although the Principia Mathematica tried to do the impossible, there is still utility for its value as a programming self-teaching resource for serious students of computer science.

Wow. Yeah. You guys ironically didn't just throw out the baby with the bath water thing. You burned me at the stake like a witch for heresy. Due to your cognitive biases and distortions.

You guys are Imperium of Mankind coded or something?

So... the ancient childish attempt to prove mathematics using mathematics (Gödel's Incompleteness slew the challenger) can be used to help me be a better TypeScript programmer? I learned something new today.

Then let the code monkeys be insulted then.

Good riddance to the overpaid coders.

And hello cheap replacements!

The bottom line has improved. And that's good for business. Which was the only thing that mattered. Regardless of any reactionary sentimentalism.

New comment by makerdiety in "I started a “dirt notebook”"

makerdiety — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 11:59:15 +0000

People don't do digital notebooks and have automation archive, index, and categorize their old thoughts? And, now, with large language models, automation can even infer latent consequences from what you scribbled. Digitally, of course. Unless you plan on having optical character recognition processing in the pipeline.
