In Leaked Audio, Amazon Cloud CEO Says AI Will Soon Make Human Programmers a Thing of the Past
  • Sounds like he's just repeating a common meme. I don't see anything about higher level design that would make it more difficult for an AI (hypothetical future AI, not the stuff that's available now) compared to lower level tasks.

  • It's probably time to stop recommending Clean Code @ Things Of Interest
  • It's not nitpicking, stuff like this is far more impactful than choosing between 5 lines vs 10 lines long methods, or whether the hasExtraCommissions "if" belongs inside or outside of calculateExtraCommissions. This kind of thing should immediately jump out at you as a red flag when you're reading code, it's not something to handwave away as a detail.

  • Why is it a void method? This only tells me that some state is mutated somewhere, but the effect is neither visible nor documented.

    I would expect a function called "calculate" to just return a number and not have any side effects.

  • I can't believe I have to explain this. Anyway

    The comparison to Alex Jones and other conspiracy nutjobs was about how they don't care about any facts or context, and just like to string together random headlines into some doomsday narrative that supports their view.

    The phrase "tankie infowars" means basically that - same methods, just different target audience. So you would switch around who the good guys and bad guys are, but not much else.

  • Russian space control center in Crimea struck by Ukrainian ATACMS missiles
  • You don't think coming to the conclusion "omg, this must be nuclear war preparations", instead of this just being a regular target, is conspiracy level thinking?

    It would fit right into Alex Jones's show. And it's the most upvoted comment here.
