Bless me Father Chat GPT for I have sinned.

Producing work that you know is DOA is incredibly demoralizing.

This is a good meme template. I like it.

Yeah baby! Strip those regs! Who’s ready for some more early 2000’s level fraud induced corporate bankruptcies? We’ll call it “Vibe Accounting”, which is where some idiot who can barely add uses an LLM to spit out financial statements that have no basis in reality.

Well you see, it’s ✨magical✨ data that only executives can interpret. Us lowly employees ungrateful peons just wouldn’t understand it.

“Vibe Executing” is apparently how alot of CEO’s do their jobs. They didn’t know how to gauge productivity before the pandemic and they still don’t. They just pull whatever sounds good out of their asses at any given moment.

Ah yes. The Intel Strategy.

Personal Anecdote

Last week I used the AI coding assistant within JetBrains DataGrip to build a fairly complex PostgreSQL function.

It put together a very well organized, easily readable function, complete with explanatory comments, that failed to execute because it was absolutely littered with errors.

I don’t think it saved me any time but it did help remove my brain block by reorganizing my logic and forcing me to think through it from a different perspective. Then again, I could have accomplished the same thing by knocking off work for the day and going to the driving range.

The sole reason I still pay the Microsoft tax is Excel. Other office suite components are generally good enough to fill in for their Microsoft counterparts. But, spreadsheet programs are one area where open source competitors need to get their shit together.

Most of them can do the basics but Excel is still in a class by itself for power users and advanced functionality. That’s a real bummer because I would love to stop paying the Microsoft tax.

I believe that’s the “I spent six years in college and $150,000 for the ‘privilege’ of sitting in teams meetings all day.” look.

To people who had never known any other way to travel than on foot, the horse was a major upgrade. To people accustomed to mechanized transportation, the horse is a major downgrade. Maintenance costs are one thing but the time requirements are what really makes it not affordable.

Current conditions in the US aside, Mississippi is just soy beans, mosquitoes, and poverty. It’s a shithole.

Serenity now! Serenity now!!

FYI, the title is shamelessly clickbaity. The actual blog goes into more detail about their survey and some of the alleged pros and cons of using AI coding tools.

Same. Poor decision on my part. 🙁

That’s the entire premise for Snapchat. And yes, it’s fucking weird.

I had an 06 Ford Ranger (actually a Mazda). RWD with a 4 cylinder and a 5 speed. No frills at all. That was a phenomenal truck. You could put snow tires on it, throw some sand bags in the bed, and go just about anywhere.

Waiting for DJT to start shilling it in 5…4…3…

I saw this documentary about a device that can concentrate solar energy, called a “Solex Agitator.” The project went sideways when this guy, who looked an awful lot like Christopher Lee, stole the prototype and tried to sell it to the highest bidder.

The British government somehow got involved and sent a spy to…

Wait… maybe that wasn’t a documentary.

I would guess most people socialize less as the get older. Having kids and constantly drowning in work and household obligations will kill your social life real quick.
