I am in doubt. That wouldn’t even compile. But who am I to think somebody changing something like this would actually do a test compilation afterwards…
clbottomt when the chtopt shows up [imagine this as that popular GIF meme]
Tangentially related rant: We had a new contributor open up a pull request today and I gave their changes an initial look to make sure no malicious code is included.
I couldn’t see anything wrong with it. The PR was certainly a bit short, but the task they tackled was pretty much a matter of either it works or it doesn’t. And I figured, if they open a PR, they’ll have a working solution.…well, I tell the CI/CD runner to get going and it immediately runs into a compile error. Not an exotic compile error, the person who submitted the PR had never even tried to compile it.
Then it dawned on me. They had included a link to a GitHub Copilot workspace, supposedly just for context.
In reality, they had asked the dumbass LLM to do the change described in the ticket and figured, it would produce a working PR right off the bat. No need to even check it, just let the maintainer do the validation.In an attempt to give them constructive feedback, I tried to figure out, if this GitHub Copilot workspace thingamabob had a Compile-button that they just forgot to click, so I actually watched Microsoft’s ad video for it.
And sure enough, I saw right then and there, who really was at fault for this abomination of a PR.The ad showed exactly that. Just chat a bit with the LLM and then directly create a PR. Which, yes, there is a theoretical chance of this possibly making sense, like when rewording the documentation. But for any actual code changes? Fuck no.
So, most sincerely: Fuck you, Microsoft.
dude. i feel that pain.
i got a dev fired because they absolutely refused to test their changes before submitting.
I’m not talking once or twice either. at least a year of that bullshit. i had to show my boss how many hours of wasted time it was taking me because I look at the code first, like literally anybody. Eventually boss pipd them and fired them but holy fuck i wanted to kick that douche in the groin every time i saw a pr with their name on it.
next place I work I’m insisting on a build step success to assign a pr.
Surely you have to blame the idiot human here who actually has the ability to reason (in theory)
You think the decision to build this bot like that was not made by a human? Its idiot humans all the way down.
Of course but people selling/offering shitty tool options is not only expected, it’s guaranteed. I certainly do not understand this tendency to blame the machine or makers of the machine and excuse the moronic developer
Nono i agree with you, people like that cant be trusted with tying their shoes.
I just wanted to point out that the system is the way it is because of “idiot human here who actually has the ability to reason”
Fucking Scunthorpes!
The ol’ master/ slave configuration again…
I’ve been tempted to create a bot that does nothing but search comments in code for misspelled words and create pull requests for them.
If it stays in comments, little chance in breaking a working codebase and I’d have an insane amount of commits and contributions to a wide variety of codebases for my resume.
I’ll never be a top tier coder. But I might make management.
In case that wasn’t satire, please don’t 🥲 A small typo in a comment is not a big issue, and even if the PR is straightforward, a maintainer still has to take some time reviewing it, which takes time away from fixing actual bugs 😢
But think of the gains!
I have nominated you to the who’s who in america award
I had a Pycharm linter with “inconsiderate writing list” flag my use of “bi” as inappropriate, recommending to use “bisexual” instead. In my data job, BI, means business intelligence, it’s everywhere.
Gotta love Microsoft Power Bisexual
I now identify as a Power Bisexual.
Power top or bottom?
I’m confused how bi is inappropriate
How is that inconsiderate? That’s just informal
(Using “bi” to mean “bisexual”, I mean, not “business intelligence” lol)
No, it’s right.
Business intelligence is inconsiderate and must be stopped!
Fully agreed! And while we’re at it, get rid of Power Pivot!
Huh, I’ve only heard business logic before.
Business intelligence is in the context of analytics. It means something very different from “business logic”, in case you’re thinking they’re synonyms…
We will never solve the Scunthorpe Problem.
It’s a clbuttic
Hasn’t it been proven unsolvable?
Impossible. There is always some mf named like cum-sock, smh
Or Grab-her.
some mf named like cum-sock
Excuse me? My family BUILT this country!
Proven? I don’t think so. I don’t think there’s a way to devise a formal proof around it. But there’s a lot of evidence that, even if it’s technically solvable, we’re nowhere close.
Have you tried adding a few more kilobytes of regex?
Or a few more gb of LLM?
It causes so much dawizard.
Scunthorpe Problem
If only one could buttassinate censorship…
Don’t you mean buttbuttinate?

I have no rebottomal for this comment.
I mean, you could just use a vaguely smarter filter. A tiny "L"LM might have different problems, but not this one.
So a TLM?
Awww, it’s trying its best!
TJA suggests a TLM.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Indeed; it definitely would show some promise. At that point, you’d run into the problem of needing to continually update its weighting and models to account for evolving language, but that’s probably not a completely unsolvable problem.
So maybe “never” is an exaggeration. As currently expressed, though, I think I can probably stand by my assertion.
Must be a TikTok influencer
Similar vibe:

Holy shit, 10,000 commits because each change was individual (I’m assuming automated).
Those commit messages though 🤣
They automated randomization of the commit messages? Wtf?
Gotta appreciate the level of commitment on this commit…
lol😁wtf it was real?
oh god
yeah, no. haha
And they’re all with different commit message:
“switched arse to bottom to create a more uplifting vibe”
“took arse out and put bottom in to keep my language warm and friendly”
“thought bottom would sound a lot nicer than arse, so I used it”
And so on…
It’s a clbuttic mistake.
anal-ytics
holytics
Ok, how is “charset” vulgar?
Edit: got it; arse
