The interface designed for humans is poor for AI needs? And the interface designed for programmatic use is easier for the AI to use? In other news, the sky is blue and water is wet.

If you just made this, who is reviewing this? How many total reviews? Can we see the reviews? Did you get 100 5 stars and 10000 0-1 stars? Where did you find those customers? I understand that this is obviously megavibe coded, but is this just marketing lies?

Great! So all of this 10x boosting is visible in which economic indicator?

It's definitely not! Now I can Claude Code proof all future PRs into my open source repo with a single commit message.

In the lifespan of Git and GitHub that’s all very recent.

I think I worked at one company that used BitBucket instead of GitHub but GitHub has been the main place for the internal company repos everywhere else I’ve worked. GitHub is quite popular for any sort of git hosting.

They burned through their goodwill years ago and are insistent on reminding us all that they are now exactly as shitty as Microsoft because they it’s all Microslop worst customer practices.

Like with any LLM produced project, can you? Sure. Will it be engaging, well written or consistent? Almost certainly not.

You’re still intentionally missing the point. Everyone knows they are lying. It doesn’t excuse the lies!

Listen, no one cares if you think you’re smart for seeing through the lies of their marketing team. You’re being intentionally obtuse.

They just altered this deal for everyone else. Wonder how long they will wait before default opting you all into training too?

Having used Claude Code extensively, catastrophic is a perfect word to describe it.

That's why Microsoft isn't a company that relies on trust and doesn't really care about it. They rely on inertia to continue to exist because they used to be popular and so now we can't just get rid of them all at once.

Between Austin and San Antonio is so developed that it's considered by many to be a single "metro" area, DFW-style. There's very little not developed directly between the two.

If they think this is progress, I call that a catastrophic failure. The other party has nearly started WW3, but let’s make sure that a state no one wanted a data center in can’t have one. Great strides for the progressive community. A single non-win.

They already have ethics classes in college. The unethical already don’t care. Students already do basic research but when the market is so shit, do you really expect them to permanently hamstring their careers by torpedoing their only offer? Especially given that as a fresh college grad, it’s not like anyone cares about your opinion anyways. So let’s guilt the vaguely ethical ones into never getting involved and leaving all the sociopaths to run the show. This is an idea destined for success.

Can I get your magical version of Opus that works? 4.6 has been a side grade at best, and worse than prior models most days.

The community does, but the corporations have made not contributing back to their communities an international sport. There's an incredibly strong argument to be made that property taxes (and frankly, ALL taxes) are much higher than they should be because of the repeated tax breaks/loopholes/backroom deals that get them out of paying their fair share. So who pays for that? The rest of us.
