During the peak of his fame I always thought this was a money laundering scheme from Musk. Only recently I’ve learned about the (not so much) theory that it was all an effort to screw with high speed train.

Yes, because it’s people like you and me developing AI …

They can absorb large numbers of users and communities and after a while close themselves to the outside. Meaning that once people “need” those communities they’ll have no chance other than go threads.

I think it’s both. Corporate greed and people helping keep this up

That’s why those who “jUsT pAy PReMiUm” are at fault. These companies are just pushing the line to see what sticks, and you’re perpetuating it by paying

And full of telemetry

I was a hardcore emacs user for 9 or so years, then moved on to Jetbrains’ editors, even paying for them, now I’m trying to move into neovim and loving it (only for non-work stuff for now).

Jetbrains editors have been great for me, stable and feature rich, specially in terms of debugging. The only problem I have is that they are quite the consumers of resources and power.

I used vscode for a while and what I found is that even though it consumes fewer resources than Jetbrains it also has way fewer features and fails more often. You can’t do much customization or error handling besides setting some obscure json variable and good luck.

Now with neovim (and emacs) you can customize it endlessly (which is something I want) and have almost no resources used. The “drawback” is that you need more plugins working in conjunction to get the same features you’d get in the previous editors. Now, beware that things will fail sometimes for sure but you’re in a position that can fully try to fix them, but will take time.

You’re wrong you can still have linux without GNU

I had this happen with a mid level guy (who thought he was a senior) with a cowboy attitude towards code. After many attempts to reason with him, I revoked his permission to touch the main branch and stopped reviewing his code until he started behaving. He left soon after.

In your case with a senior I’d escalate the situation to management.

My first thought exactly when I read the question. It’s just another point of failure for the phone, using people’s nostalgia for something that never was that great anyway

I really hope it burns to the ground. One of the most toxic dev “forums” I’ve seen. I made a point of never clicking their site when looking for answers even if it took me longer.

Depending on the points I can see it with education and even with things like chatgpt, but IDEs? Ah this is a new one. How do IDEs just fill code for programmers? What’s next? programmers use chairs that are too comfortable nowadays?

IDEs have boosted significantly programmers productivity.

You went there, generated content for them which is generating publicity. Other people, without ad blockers, are going there to see it …

And yet this is probably good for reddit. They live on amount of engagement and you dummies just fell for it.

Take the upvote. For some reason you taking over his ideia this way made me laugh uncontrollably.

And clickbait arrives on lemmy
