Lol. I keep saying that programming is great if you enjoy the act of using a computer.

Hardened libraries

Like log4j?

Ecosystems matter for sure, but any java "killer library" should be usable by other programming languages.

Of course. Code review doesn't have to be a strict process.

A problem with code reviews is that sometimes it's easier to reason about a problem as you work on it. You will likely end up with better code going through an iterative process working with your computer instead of trying to get the perfect solution the first time.

It's kind of like math. We need to expand a problem out in order to solve it, and then simplify the solution once we have it.

I mean, at some point you have to realize that instructing an AI on every single thing you want to do starts to look a lot like programming.

Programming isn't just writing code. It's being able to reason about a method of doing things. Until AI is at the level of designer, you can expect humans to have to do the brunt of the work to bring software to life.

Like I said, I don't expect you people to do anything different.

This song and dance is going to go on until the day I die and likely long after.

They can't win without additional troops.

I wish I could say I don't know why you people don't realize it, but I get it now.

If Europe really wanted to stop Russia, they would've sent armies into Ukraine.

"We don't want to escalate because it might start WW3!"

But Putin is going to attack you guys anyways when he's done with Ukraine.

"Yes, but this is the rhetoric dumbasses have been told to peddle so that's what we're doing!"

I still remember when people said Ukraine shouldn't mine its border because it would be seen as "escalation." Funny how the wrong-crowd always scatters like roaches after the damage is done.

Well, when you get tired of losing to fascists you should start running better candidates.

Arguing against me isn't going to help.

Honestly the us political system sucks and I dont know how I would choose if my moral wouldnt allow me to support either candidate.

I'm being the change I want to see in the world. Clearly supporting establishment politicians is not solving the problems that face us as a species, so I'm choosing to do something different.

When the useful idiots get tired of losing to fascists, then maybe they'll start to do something different, too.

I don't expect them to, though. It's part of what makes them useful idiots.
