ChatGPT is excellent for suggesting an idea that I haven’t thought of. I can then use that as a springboard to write out something that works. Asking it if there are optimizations also can yield quite good results. I find I spend less time debugging on average, but not by a large margin.
I am not complaining about FOSS, or even saying its bad. I am saying the people that look at FOSS as if it was their god are annoying. The people that just cannot shut up and have to shove it in your face. The people that start conversations with “I use Arch” or “Godot is the best.” Thats what I am talking about.
Look, I might have switched to Godot if all the people recommending it weren’t so annoying about it. Effort or not, the vast majority of those people did not contribute to the software, so it wasn’t even their fight. They just adopted a weird oppression fetish into their personality and decided to make FOSS into their god.
If someone was wronged by “Big GameDev” or whatever and developed their own FOSS replacement, then good on them, I am happy to listen about it. But the large majority of these users didn’t do that, but act like they did. Just be normal, please. Being so overly annoying about it isn’t going to attract more people, existing users being annoying are going to push away potential new users.
The one thing you can count on Godot users for is that they act exactly like Arch Linux users.
I remember about 10 months ago or so ChatGPT used to output some surprisingly top-tier code. I’d ask it to create a method with some required functionality and it would output the code, fully commented and everything. I didn’t have to edit the code, it just worked, and it was more or less efficient.
Now? I can’t even get it to write comments for code I give to it.
All the real information is encoded in Navajo, right between “Purity Control” and “Samantha.”
I hate the amount of software that is gated behind a Discord server.
No, I don’t want to join your garbage Discord server just to use your software. Just host it somewhere else.
Welcome to Reddit 2 I guess.
I mean I am not making fun of him, that is indeed average coder priorities.
Guy can afford 4 laptops but didn’t have enough to spare for a shirt?
EDIT: Since I guess it wasn’t obvious enough, this is a sarcastic joke, I am not being serious.
Boss gets paid a dollar, I get paid a dime, that’s why I [printscreen and walk to the printer instead of copy/pasting code] on company time.
Arch isn’t a building, it’s just a pile of the construction materials.
Yet.
