@Gators1 said in The OFFICIAL programming thread:
I need to stop habitually answering questions on Reddit and wasting time. I read one this morning where the dude is like “I don’t understand X” about data warehouse architecture. It was a very basic question and should have been answered sufficiently by the source book he said he read. So I type out some examples of why it is the way it is and I am about to hit reply when I notice I am replying to a guy named TheCumCopter. Yeah, he is never going to get it and I just wasted 4 minutes.
So you’re talking to Zep in another forum? That seems duplicate effort.

Nah, this was on Reddit, not Tiktok.

Can someone do this and train it with LOT posts? I am too lazy to watch a 5 hour video let alone do the programming.

There are treaties against LOT derived AI.

Fuck the treaties! We will make billions!

My favorite video creator does game dev tutorials that run between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. I love that guy. Five hours is a no from me.

Great line from Larry Wall, creator of Perl (which I’ve barely used) on Java:
“If 100 lines of Java code accomplishes a task then it looks like you’ve written 100 lines even though in a different language it might only take 5 lines. You can eat a one pound steak or you can eat 100 pounds of shoe leather and you feel a greater sense of accomplishment after the shoe leather but, you know, maybe there’s some downsides.”

I so want to reply, “You made all those names up, didn’t you?” But, sadly, Stack Overflow has no sense of humor

Learning new programming languages is somewhat like having been in a accident and having to learn to walk again (without the physical pain of course). Some languages are more familiar than others and you can get basic movement going again relatively quickly although it can take a long time to regain the finesse you had. Some languages are kind of familiar but have some alien ideas and just learning to move in them takes time and practice. They’re more frustrating but eventually you get there.
Learning Common Lisp is like having had an accident that involved a time machine and going back to the 1970’s. Except in another dimension. For some reason, in this dimension, learning to walk requires you to operate an 8 track tape deck, a rotary phone and a vintage wheel balancer - none of which you’ve used before. Oh, and everyone speaks some weird dialect of Esperanto. You kind of recognize bits and pieces but it’s largely alien.

It’s pronounced “lithp”.

This is why Indian videos are my favorite for coding advice… I thought this was a parody at the start.

@Gators1 I lasted 30 seconds before it triggered my PTSD from I dunno how many teams meetings I’ve had.

@Hog when AT&T bought my company in PR, we had meetings with their team to coordinate bringing our data to their systems. The guy that managed our database stuff had no fucking idea what they were saying. He would sit on the call for an hour, then come to me and ask if he had to do anything. I work with a bunch domestically and they are pretty good, but dealing with the offshore companies is painful.

Are they paradigm buzzword posers?

So I need to write my code in such a way that even GPT can’t understand it and I’m the only one who knows how to maintain it?
Challenge accepted.

Given how bad a lot of the code i see is, I wonder where they found enough of the good stuff to make a training set?

keep in mind the advice i took to heart years back: the only meetings worth attending are the ones that cannot start without you.
