F*cking. Based.

Mocking AI and its usage/fanatics is good and right, actually

Making jokes about the "hard R" is thinly veiled excuse to reference racist jokes, slurs, and sentiments in an 'acceptable way'

This is not a difficult or subtle difference, it's actually quite blatant and clear

Don't get it twisted

If it’s allocated in the main function, I leave it to the OS to clean up. Everywhere else I don’t trust myself to remember that I don’t reuse the function later and forget that it doesn’t clean up after itself.

By the way, the little learnings and cool moments from someone whos been doing this for as long as you have and is getting back into it now, those would be pretty neat to share 😄

Sick! What's the rule set?

Do it. I'll always pick to be in a more fulfilling job even if it is unstable, rather than being unhappy in a job I can hardly lose. I'm in the former situation right now working in a startup, and I don't regret a thing, even if there's always the looming risk of us going under.

That's why I won't let LLMs write code for me. Even if it suggests something new to me, I won't learn it if I don't apply it myself.
