Crime.

Unless we go broke, I don't think it's going to bite them.

@wojtek322 that's a tricky one, we have some NLP language stuff that is shit and nobody uses but the higher ups can say they're doing GenAI (we're not). There's a neural network model that is totally broken and doesn't explain itself but it's better than the thing we had before. But there's a core of clever people working on their thing that kinda works (but only kinda).

You could fire half the company and it'd be just as successful.

@tosensei code review I'm fine with, but then faffing to do the actual merge is meh

Micromanaging doesn't bother me, I'm already wise enough and stupid enough to know better, but there are some juniors on the team I suspect he does the same with so need to have words...

I'd make a really good manager, I just don't want to be one...

@retoor I'm mostly just ignoring it... He complained last week I'd completely ignored his input. He was right, I had.

Still in bed. Started work an hour ago. Cheers brother.

We deal with medical data to do disease detection. We know half our models don't work. Nobody sees a problem with this...

The greatest use of AI. Fuck with scammers.

The tree remembers, the axe forgets.

I've never signed into Windows 11 ms account. It's "strongly encouraged", rather than forced.

@TeachMeCode what part of he's an asshole don't you understand?

It's not a drive for me cuz I have this happy go lucky facade and then people work out how clever I am and then they get competitive for all the wrong reasons

@webketje had to check where you were from 😅 your name sounded plausible. I'm doing WIP commits on a branch, not doing PR till it's done but he's also giving review comments on incomplete code not currently under review and just fucking wasting my time...

I'm literally just doing the same work but committing more often. Before I'd commit working stuff at sensible times. But it takes time to get stuff working. So fuck it.

Chaos? Wanna know what it is

@BordedDev I like to document things. Not because I find it useful, but because it means other people don't have to talk to me.

My first job, sure I'd help them. My current job, I'll just reply with a laughing emoji.

The obvious situation where it doesn't hold true is a small problem.

But I'd also say it doesn't hold true when a rethink, rearchitect, is needed. There have been times when I just needed to rip everything out and start from scratch. Sure, then *that* can be broken down, but the base idea of what it should be replaced with isn't something that can be done piecemeal.

@jiraTicket lol most of my work has been math. Just not what I consider hard. Integration, summations, other shit

@retoor so do we prefer applying the rules of grammar or having the rules applied? Me, I prefer strong women applying the rules.

The most surprising thing here is your surprise

@Demolishun a fellow connoisseur of rule 34 I see

Unfortunately life's sense of humour is easily mistaken for a metal bar that it beats you with.

I also forget how competent I am and how much flexibility that gives me in my job. One comment was genuinely "I'll ask my manager if they want me to spend time on that", whereas I'd just say fuck it we ball, I gon do the thing.

Aaaaand I've killed it. It generated half a sentence and stopped.

RIP ostream

@jestdotty what do I need to do to earn your approval? 😜

Huh, I didn't realise so many people were JS devs here.

The worst thing is I'm in a different department and no idea what seniority this person is so I don't know if I can just tell them to change shit and know they'll actually listen or not. I'm reviewing because I rewrote it previously after another data scientist did a load of god awful code (worse than this).
