I feel compelled to point out that “back door man” was already a common expression in blues lyrics.

I assume that’s what was being referred to.

I was thinking a nice golden throne. More appropriate for a god-emperor.

I’ll just write thousands of lines of code inside a global object… I’m sure I won’t put a semicolon where a comma should be…

Can I teach you a lesson?

Excellent! So immersive!

Where’s the dedicated DRADIS monitor?

Was that Edelweiss? I don’t know what to do with this.

A similar phenomenon is knowing you’re going to need to go back and update some older section of code and when you finally get around to it, it turns out you wrote it that way to begin with. It’s like… I didn’t think I knew about this approach before…

This isn’t the most substantive of your comments in this chain, but I think it deserves some attention. It’s perfectly worded and it’s a concept more people need to embrace: you don’t have to speak in absolutes and it’s okay to express the limits of your knowledge.

Like the infosquitos: “this guy sure loves porno!”

Do you have any theories as to why this is the case? I haven’t gone anywhere near it, so I have no idea. I imagine it’s tied up with the way it processes things from a language-first perspective, which I gather is why it’s bad at math. I really don’t understand enough to wrap my head around why we can’t seem to combine LLM and traditional computational logic.
