Forgetting AI for a moment, I am always shocked when I am reviewing a coworker’s code and it’s obvious that they themselves didn’t review it.

Like, they sent me a PR that has a whole shitload of other crap in it. Why should I look at it when you haven’t looked at it? If you don’t review your own review requests, you’re a failure of a programmer human.

And I would be a failure if I approved such a request.

Getting back to the post, where is all of the review? The coworker should have reviewed the AI shit, whether it was code or documentation. The person who approved the PR should have reviewed it, as well.

Every business with more than one programmer should have at least two levels of safeguards against this exact thing happening. More if you include different types of test suites.

This post describes a fundamentally broken business, regardless of the AI angle, and so it’s good if everything is broken. With such a lack of discipline and principles, I say let the business fail.

If the horse doesn’t want to take off the headpiece, that usually means that it’s not finished eating the food that the owner put into the headpiece in order to get the horse to stick its head in there.

She must be a CNA.

Supervillains are in charge of everything, so they’ve made it illegal to be a superhero.

It just goes to show how DC Comics authors needed to read 1984. There is no way that a group of supervillains would call themselves the Legion of Doom.

IRL, the biggest villains label themselves as if they’re good guys. That’s why the name of the Nazi party says they’re socialists. If the Legion of Doom were a real thing, they’d call themselves something like the Board of Peace.

During Trump’s first term, I identified this as the number one most annoying thing about Trump. That you don’t want the world’s biggest attention whore as president.

And the only good thing about Trump was that he didn’t actually do the job. He just watched TV and called into Fox News and took extended golfing holidays.

I still cannot comprehend how people seemed to forget this during Biden’s term, when you could actually go a week or more without hearing about the president.
