I've never lost respect for users on a platform faster than all the AI and GPT shills on here.

Holy shit, y'all are delulu.

Well, I don‘t use it for coding but it‘s great for cases like this when I don‘t know what it means to call someone "shills". The translator is pretty useless for that.

@jestdotty Is it lazy to do pre-emptive work so you can AFK for the next X hours? e.g. you can see the next feature coming up so you prep the code for it when working on the current feature so it will take 10 minutes, but they budgeted 8 hours for the new one

@jestdotty Sure, got burned with that when I started, somehow I still manage to outperform most coders I've worked with just by planning the structure and envisioning how things should™️work. Also, that's why you don't push the “10 minutes of code” until the end of the day, or stretch it out until next week. You can even setup a cron for running the git push

@jestdotty Eh it's not really, people don't check how long I took other than check ticket status during standup. It's not in-depth planning, it's just the rough code layout, I do try to make my code very adaptable and have no fear of touching “unrelated” code to make it work better.

Still, it's a “free” day off

e.g. working on my mmo project, the networking stack is multiple libraries

@jestdotty Well I always have plenty to do, if I feel like working, I'll refactor/clean up since you'll never get a ticket for it (but can be added once you're done with it), or I just make it a lighter workday

@retoor I sure can ignore it. I've disabled it on every system I use and ignore it on Google searches. I have no need for it. Most especially not for my work.

The one time I paid attention to it on a Google search, it suggested I do something that would very likely end with me being sliced by a guitar string.

@retoor The issue is that it suggested, quite confidently, I cut a piece of wire under tension potentially causing me an awful injury.

I know I'm not going to do something so foolish, but someone else will do this and wind up with a nasty scar.

Will Google face consequences for it? No they won't.

@cuddlyogre I cut my strings with a wire cutter when I need to change them, I just make sure to remove the tension first and pin the wire down where I'm cutting. But you're right, if not done carefully, it can embed the string into your bone.

@retoor That's very true, it's of the reasons I'm vocal about making additional enhancements. All the clients except the current one have been happy for the extra enhancements and yeah, time goes quick. The current client has an incompetent PM, so I want to avoid touching the code as much as possible.
