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.
Same as half my employees.
Only half?
I’m guessing he ate the other half.
Same team Hog!!!

This is nuts:

@Hog your career is doomed!

@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.

Maybe I don’t get it, but google sheets has been around for years?

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 Sheets: A Cloud-Based Spreadsheet for Non-Dev Users | Nick 🐳 Humrich posted on the topic | LinkedIn
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.

Nerdery in the nerdery. Nerd inception, I love the idea.

I have no idea wtf she is doing in the below but is interesting to watch.
I only clicked the link because, besides for dropping E and dancing to it all night like it’s 1995, I find trance music is good for coding sessions and I couldn’t understand how what I read as “trance music for coding” could be narrated without ruining it. Turns out she’s actually programming trance music.

That syntax though. Kinda repetitive, most musicians use a timeline to compose. But still looks fun. Here’s the cli site.

The interactive tutorial they have is great. I guess it almost needs to be since it’s pretty cryptic on the face of it.

I felt I was going to be dismissive just looking at the link image, but I did find the creation process and the result fascinating.
At the end, when it faded and got quiet though, I felt a sense of relief.
;-)

@Jam Yeah I felt the same. As Gators said, it’s was repetitive. Irritatingly so.
Might be a limitation of the tool/language but she had at least one other song that sounded better and was more of regular song but still not my cup of tea. I mostly posted it for the process not the music.

Don’t get too excited. Sorry to tell you this, but you are an old man and don’t have the abs to ever be a great DJ.

Better!
I could do without the banging on the garbage cans though, especially with the loose lids. ;-)
A touch of poetry as well . . .
I can enjoy listening to this one.
2 years later its still happening
