Wait, who didn't have the docs in the repo? Where else would it go?

There are two main options, put your docs in the repo, or throw them all over the floor. Many companies opt for the floor.

Is the Git Book part of the git repo?

Is the Linux Doc Projec part of the kernel?

No. For good reasons. The only people who insists all doc must live in the same repo as the code are the ones who does not value documentation.

Note, that in both examples above there is a documentation in the main repo, but not all documentation lives there.

This was common for kids in the 00s. Having just one bud in while talking to someone was common. There was also this type that instead of having two equal length wires, one to each bud, was asymmetrical and you would wrap the longer wire around you neck so you could easily "unbud". Sony invented this, I think. In fact there were some pretty crazy designs before Apple made the simple but conspicuous earbuds popular again.

There's a much simpler explanation. I regularly see boomers with wireless "earpod" type earphones out and about. They're not cool any more.

Fashion is fickle and it's best to not pay any attention to it. Choose the right tool for the job. Sometimes wireless is better, like when running, sometimes wired is better, like doing serious listening in a quiet environment.

Not following trends guarantees you'll be the trendsetter every 5-10 years.

Emacs is a true bicycle for the mind. It sets you free in many ways, always wanting to be the tool that simply allows you to do your job more efficiently and effectively.

LLMs are like living with a depressed person who doesn't see the point in doing anything because it's all just been done before. Who cares if you do a good job? Just recycle some shit that others have done and it'll be passable. This isn't a bicycle for the mind, it's just going to drag you into depression with it.

> Now IDEs are useless. I personally haven't felt the need to goto_definition or autocomplete variable names for almost 2 years.

So you are vibe coding? Some of us still check every line of code generated and an IDE definitely helps with that. Even more so when you need to take control.

What is this? Every country in the world is listening to the same generic reggaeton song?

The tap went off, but they kept the water they collected from it.

It's so disrespectful to say an LLM is more intelligent than a person on the street. The LLM has nothing at stake, cares not a sausage about the consequences of what it spits out. People have all kinds of pressures, dependants, and personal issues like health. Our thoughts and actions have real consequences. It's so easy to be intelligent when you're the pretend human that gets switched on for five minutes then switched off again.

It's not a value judgement, I'm no misanthrope. But it's a fact or life that we humans must specialize, while LLMs can afford to have "studied" a staggering variety of topics. It's no different than being slower than a car, or weaker than a hydraulic press.

On a different note, LLMs are still not very wise, as displayed by all the prompt attacks and occasional inane responses like walking to the car wash.

On the contrary, it's the machines that have the luxury of specialisation.

I'm faster than a car when scrambling up a mountain. It's easy to be fast when all you do is drive on smooth roads.

I'm stronger than a hydraulic press when carrying a load over a distance. It's easy to be strong when you're limited to a few centimetres of movement.

Intelligence of LLMs is a trick; they are literally trained to sound intelligent. But it's easy to sound intelligent when all you have to do is sound intelligent. A person has to live in the real world, deal with the weather, with feelings, stress, health and, above all, consequences. We don't have the luxury of just being able to sound intelligent, or have wheels that only work on smooth roads. We have to actually be intelligent in our actions. We have to traverse difficult ground, deal with obstacles we've never encountered before. When we make mistakes, people get hurt.

>I would bet my left shoe that if I asked people on the street, no one will do a better job than Claude.

Because it's unrealistic to expect such a niche population to be out and wandering around. What it sounds like you want is something that masquerades at intelligence, but is really alien.

I reckon LLM merge rates will go up, but not necessarily due to quality improvements. Instead I think maintainers will just become fatigued. The amount of code I'm expected to review now is way higher than before. And while I'm reviewing you know more is being generated. I'm sure I've let through more crap due to this fatigue attack on me.
