During the peak of his fame I always thought this was a money laundering scheme from Musk. Only recently I’ve learned about the (not so much) theory that it was all an effort to screw with high speed train.

Yes, because it’s people like you and me developing AI …

They can absorb large numbers of users and communities and after a while close themselves to the outside. Meaning that once people “need” those communities they’ll have no chance other than go threads.

I think it’s both. Corporate greed and people helping keep this up

That’s why those who “jUsT pAy PReMiUm” are at fault. These companies are just pushing the line to see what sticks, and you’re perpetuating it by paying

And full of telemetry

You’re wrong you can still have linux without GNU

I had this happen with a mid level guy (who thought he was a senior) with a cowboy attitude towards code. After many attempts to reason with him, I revoked his permission to touch the main branch and stopped reviewing his code until he started behaving. He left soon after.

In your case with a senior I’d escalate the situation to management.

I would ask on reddit, IRC channels or read the documentation. I found that I rarely get an updated answer on stack overflow for my area of work.

It also enforced that while I was learning I would avoid asking any question there.

I really hope it burns to the ground. One of the most toxic dev “forums” I’ve seen. I made a point of never clicking their site when looking for answers even if it took me longer.

Depending on the points I can see it with education and even with things like chatgpt, but IDEs? Ah this is a new one. How do IDEs just fill code for programmers? What’s next? programmers use chairs that are too comfortable nowadays?

IDEs have boosted significantly programmers productivity.

You went there, generated content for them which is generating publicity. Other people, without ad blockers, are going there to see it …

And yet this is probably good for reddit. They live on amount of engagement and you dummies just fell for it.

Take the upvote. For some reason you taking over his ideia this way made me laugh uncontrollably.

It was ironic that some years ago he was quoting Dune on Twitter. Either the message was lost on him or he was trolling…

It’s shameful that this individual keeps talking about making a better world for humanity and then he pushes for things like this. I always thought it was some scheme to launder money…
