Hold up, hold up… We’ve got an ai to do the reading for us. I’ve asked it to summarise what you said. That should give me a bit less reading to do…

The statement appears to be a sarcastic or humorous remark expressing frustration or disbelief regarding an error message that includes a “drop-in replacement function” for a deprecated function. The speaker seems to imply that it is frustrating or almost unbelievable to encounter a message that offers a solution, particularly one suggesting that the replacement can seamlessly take the place of the deprecated function.

By saying, “Why I’d never!”, the speaker is likely exaggerating their frustration or mock surprise, indicating that they might have encountered this situation often or that such suggestions are generally not taken seriously.

This type of comment suggests that the speaker might be somewhat jaded or irritated by encountering such “helpful” messages, perhaps due to previous experiences where the suggested solutions were inadequate, difficult to implement, or not as straightforward as they seem.

“Right? It’s almost like they think a one-line replacement function is going to fix all the issues. It’s never as simple as the message makes it sound, is it? I’ve definitely been burned by those before.”

This response acknowledges the speaker’s frustration and shares a similar sentiment, while also reinforcing the idea that these “helpful” messages don’t always live up to expectations.

Another reason why I don’t want more copilot and chatgpt to beginners

That last one is more common than I’d like, a lot more

He came from some hella rich parents, and he does not have the skills. I doubt it was his work

A lot of behaviour in politics is emotionally driven, and sustained by the lazyness of voters not learning how the system they live in works.

If anything, I think this requires more emotional intelligence and perhaps acting skills.

He paid some people to pretend he’s the founder, then used that title to build a reputation of being genius and what not. And he’s been getting rich off of investor capitol ever since.

I don’t know which company he did and didn’t start himself. But I know he definitely didn’t write the code behind ebay or paypal

REAL GOVERNMENTS USE EXCEL SHEETS /j

Wasn’t it the uk or something that messed up a vote due to excel’s row limit?

Also makes it easier to put spaghetti back onto the right track

That’d be a fun trip

I would take a train, it’s much nicer. There’s a lot of small companies out there, with varying levels of spaghetti code.

I can’t give you a straightforward recommendation. But if your ethics are flexible, google hires people here.

If you get yourself a job offer (not a vacancy) you can get yourself a staying permit. Getting into a school is an option too.

Tip: go trough Frankfurt airport in Germany. Much less paperwork and explaining to do there. Then take an ice train (inter continental express) to the Netherlands. No border checks :p

Telegram seems to be a popular option for groups of such orgs. Other apps have the same risks tho. It’s a bit if a mess

Well then use the secret chat if you want your chat to be secret from any prying eyes

Yep, and this allows for proper content moderation. Telegram can actually just find and report creeps to authorities

I just turn it on in the bios. And on windows, disable fast startup
