      It’s rigged!!! So makes sense that you need to understand the issues and fix the system, but the 100K thing just breaks it more by turning off the program altogether.

          The “I will be more careful” thing is a lie. It’s utterly incapable of learning from the mistake unless you keep it in the context forever.

                                @Gators1 Wow that was an odd call. The much more powerful Excel didn’t replace devs in the decades before Sheets. Why would Sheets being a cloud app change that?

                                  Because it’s cloud! I thought AI handling security was the joke in this one, but check out the API endpoint.

                                      Yeah 2 decades according to one comment on the linkedin post. I thought it was a repost of an old prediction but now I think he’s making an ironic comment about claims of AI replacing devs. Not sure.

                                      Google released a new product called "Google Sheets." It's like a spreadsheet, but it's in the cloud, and users can collaborate on the data. It allows even non-technical people to build out crazy custom solutions using formulas and vlookups, and share them with their friends. Devs are cooked. No...

                                        Also sheets/excel aren’t development environments. It’s kind of like a nightmare in the data world

                                          Love this: A new language called Spellscript.

                                          Hello world:

                                          begin the grimoire.
                                          inscribe whispers of "hello, world!".
                                          close the grimoire.
                                          

                                          Longer code example:

                                          begin the grimoire.
                                          summon the power with essence of 7.
                                          conjure ritual named amplify with value to return value multiplied by value.
                                          enchant power with essence 0 of through ritual amplify with power.
                                          inscribe whispers of "the power is amplified: " bound with power.
                                          close the grimoire.
                                          

                                          On a quick scan, I’m guessing the above creates a variable named power and initializes it to 7. Then it declares a function called amplify that returns the square of whatever value is passed to it. (Looks like it might be pass by reference). Then it calls the function and prints the result.

                                          I’d never use the language but I’d get a kick out of it if some nutter wrote an operating system in it, it took off and the kernel maintainers were referred to as the “conclave of wizards of the inner sanctum” or something.
