  Agreed, Copilot auto complete is awful. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You do you I guess. AI slop can suck a dick and we’ve fired people for less.

  AI causes problems, AI can amplify problems, but AI can legitimately assist, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Would love to know how you finagle Copilot to be useful, the code it generates and the things it suggests make me throw my hands up like 9/10.

  Once in a blue moon I try to use it again, and it’s laughable. It’s like I told someone non-technical to do something super technical and… it’s just 100% discard or 50% rewrite. I guess it just feels like it isn’t saving me any time so…why?

  For context I’ve only used it in VS Code or Visual Studio. If there is some other avenue or process that’s better, let me know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As a developer on a team of 20ish that use AI heavily, daily, I’d argue there are proper ways of using it as a tool that substantially increases productivity and quality while also reducing bugs and improving maintainability.

  But I would also say that 75%+ of people I encounter aren’t leveraging it properly or even close to properly. Also too many people use ChatGPT and Copilot which are just bottom of the barrel garbage and then wonder why the output is also garbage.

  But I agree that too many people and companies lean into AI too heavily and incorrectly and there will be a reckoning. I’m all for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All the other answers are correct.

  Republicans / conservatives in the US are a poison. Delusional, evil. Either opportunist pieces of shit or certifiably the dumbest people in the world.

  Their existence is a net negative, period, full stop. Their non-existence…well, take that as you will.

  I wanted to exit tech and thought bars might work.

  They didn’t. Even loving what I did in bar-land, it ultimately led to substantial debt that I’ll be paying on for years.

  I was happier in general, but the financial viability was impossible.

  xrdp or a usable alternative primarily

  tried rustdesk, AnyDesk, parsec, nomachine - also no go.

  Bluetooth issues as well, mouse and keyboard issues. Bluetooth earbud issues in meetings where I keep cutting out or audio is distorted.

  Those are the two biggest, a lot of other minor things

  Samsung Galaxy Book…5?

  Surface Laptop something with the Snapdragon elite X or something

  I need them to all be able to easily and quickly integrate and interact.
