TBF, you should have known that can of Natty Light in the back of the fridge was no good.

FYI, the title is shamelessly clickbaity. The actual blog goes into more detail about their survey and some of the alleged pros and cons of using AI coding tools.

Why did you have to go and make this personal?

…Now where did the rest of those donuts go?

Waiting for DJT to start shilling it in 5…4…3…

I saw this documentary about a device that can concentrate solar energy, called a “Solex Agitator.” The project went sideways when this guy, who looked an awful lot like Christopher Lee, stole the prototype and tried to sell it to the highest bidder.

The British government somehow got involved and sent a spy to…

Wait… maybe that wasn’t a documentary.

Fair point. Of course that’s already a problem with Excel. It would probably have to be disabled by default just like VBA macros.

There are things that could be done to improve Excel. For instance, fully integrate python and allow it to be used to create custom functions. Then, maybe one day, VBA can ride off into the sunset where it belongs.

Adding Copilot to Excel is not an improvement because Copilot and all other LLM based platforms frequently barfs out totally incorrect information about how to do something in Excel.

“You do that using <X> formula.”

No, I can’t, you worthless pile of shit because THAT FORMULA DOESNT EXIST.

That’s going to be the strategy with our next two.

Some of us do teach our kids and they just don’t care, I guess. My oldest (17) has had a smartphone for a few years. She knows what not to do on social media. Does it anyway. That pretty well tracks with the rest of her (mostly) poor decisions. What can I say? She’s …Consistent. 🤷‍♂️

They do offer their T-Satellite service which uses Starlink. It only works with supported mobile devices (not home Internet) and is additional to your regular plan.

T-Mobile is honestly one of the easiest cell operators to deal with in my experience. I would take them over AT&T any day.

You also need to know how to “vibe white”.

Does wielding an absurdly large Starbucks cup and angrily demanding to speak to the manager count?

Recently talked my MIL into switching to T-Mobile home Internet instead of StarLink. I even volunteered to mount an external cell antenna on her roof if the signal wasn’t good enough.

Elmo and his shitty satellite company can kiss my ass.

I find it difficult to be the code mill I’m expected to be, especially when getting work done quickly is prioritized over getting it done correctly.

Same. Half the time the code base is an indicipherable, spaghetti filled dumpster fire. More often than that, the business plan is either non existent or just plain idiotic. Management can’t even answer basic questions like, “who is going to pay for this?” The last three projects I worked on were DOA because there was no clear path to profitability. This was at large, well established corporations.

I’m still trying to figure out how it’s possible to graduate with an MBA without understanding the inherent need for revenue to exceed expenses.
