  according to a recent conversation, some folks' coworkers would rather spend between $40 and $400 getting an LLM to answer a question rather than speak to their coworkers and try to understand the situation themselves. and that's before any actual work.

  not only do I fucking loathe LLM output, but I do not think it is cute nor funny when people use that cadence to mock it. I understand why people do it, and I understand why other people find it funny, but for me, it's grotesquely unpleasant and actively nauseating. also it pisses me the fuck off.

  Hot take*: Nobody wants features. Nobody is shopping based on anticipated new features. Nobody whatsoever is even slightly interested in 'new features' as a selling point for any kind of software product and, in fact, the addition of - or the promise of - new features is an anti-signal indicating that the product in question will be unreliable, useless, and insecure. And the entire sales profession is full of lying sacks of shit who all need to be fired ballistically. * if you have...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@culturednyc/117304464500318645 the worst part is that this isn't actually wrong, but for the wrong reason - the issue isn't that you can't represent arbitrary database types in Excel - you assuredly can - but instead that Excel is a general purpose functional programming IDE that got misfiled as an accounting tool, so you can implement any arbitrary software tool in it.

  RE: https://masto.deoan.org/@neurovagrant/117277252530877642 not to put too fine a point on things, but causes - and people - who are labeled as "political' in discussions are not being labeled as such consensually. 'cuz gods know I don't think my existence should be a political topic, but apparently the fuck it is, which means that people who follow such bullshit rules can (and have done) arbitrarily exclude me from consideration, and That's Bad.
