It's a bunch of smoke and mirrors akin to blockchain, bitcoin (and the entire web3/crypto space in general) - a whole bunch of hype and "evangelists" who keep saying it's going to change the world (and make them a w

Reminding me of my younger days, during my lolbertarian phase where I thought people would do the right thing and have safety procedures in place because "market forces" would shut them down if people died. To be that naive again

I fail to see the value of an AI that basically just regurgitates something you could already find in a search engine, on top of just spewing out completely nonsensical garbage if it can't find something. All this AI chatbot crap just

Do you talk about your “senior engineers” this way to their faces? Using scare quotes to refer to the titles of your colleagues? Do you refer to them as minions too? You sound like an absolutely insufferable person to work under.

Mercurial's branch management makes more sense. If you want to know which branch a commit originated from in git, good luck. Many things in git, are frankly anti-patterns in any other sane versioning system - comitting partial changes
