If I find myself repeating more than twice, I just ask “Can this be a function”. If yes, I move it there. If not, I just leave it as it is.
Life’s too short to spend all day rewriting your code.

Yes, but also I would hope that if you have the autonomy to install linux you also have the autonomy to look up an unknown command before running it with superuser privileges.
w++ is a programming language now 🤡
Lazy is right. Spending fifty hours to automate a task that doesn’t take even five minutes is commonplace.
It takes laziness to new, artful heights.
That’s only the first stage. Once you get tired enough you start writing code that not even you can understand the next morning, but which you’re loathe to change because “it just works”.
“The bug is fixed, but we inadvertently created two new ones, one of which broke production because it was inexplicably not caught.”
It really is big. From baby’s first prompting on big corpo model learning how tokens work, to setting up your own environment to run models locally (Because hey, not everyone knows how to use git), to soft prompting, to training your own weights.
Nobody is realistically writing fundamental models unless they work with Google or whatever though.
The assertion that they cannot be cheap is funny, when Vicuna 13B was trained on all of $300.
Not $300,000. $300. And that gets you a model that’s almost parity with ChatGPT.
It may be an opinion, but pointing it out won’t make me like java any more.
