  • They want to bomb the middle east, but harder.

    It’s not even that they’re “the same”, it’s that they have similar approaches, but one is much worse.

    Everyone lolmemes about republicans dropping bombs and Democrats dropping bombs with rainbow flags like it’s some deep insight, but all this does is massively benefit the right.

    It sews disengagement from the left and people “protest vote”, then the people that do the thing they’re protesting against worse than get into power.

    Unfortunately in a two party system, such as the US, it’s better to vote for the less bad one than neither, even if the one you vote for doesn’t do everything you’d like them to




  • If you ever needed proof that people/companies worth lots of money didn’t earn it, you can look at twitter as a great example. He pretty much did everything wrong. Massively overpaid for it, lowered the companies valuation significantly, lost a lot of users, advertisers etc.

    Somehow it still exists and is relavent and hadn’t hurt musks wealth.



  • Yeah, this almost exactly sums up my experience as the sole senior engineer in one team.

    It’s great at looking like it did it all correctly… But just like ai art, enough is similar, but wrong, that the code ends up in uncanny valley.

    Sometimes it saves me a few seconds of rewriting the properties/arguments in the correct format for a new function/component. Other times it does such a “convincing” job, but does it wrong, that I spend many minutes trying to debug why the thing that looks correct doesn’t work.

    The “good parts” mostly feel like glorified copy paste and linting. While the “bad parts” feel like you’re debugging someone code who doesn’t know what they’re doing and glued a bunch of stack overflow answers together assuming it’d just work.
