My head canon is someone in the tech industry hates computers and is purposefully self sabotaging to get us off of them
I think it is more boring and stupid. The tech industry has engineers and scientists who builds stuff but the executive controlling it, the public using it and politicians regulating it insists to believe that a magic genie lives inside the computer.
Sometimes the genie is benevolent and can fix the economy, answer all your questions with absolute certainty, fix every social problem and rid you of the burden of having to enploy people to do stuff. Other times the genie is evil and he will tell the evil SeeSeePee everything about you and let Russia decide the outcome of the election.
But in any case the computer is magic and has unlimited abilities.
Yeah I think that’s the case in reality but it’s funny to imagine some guy sitting in Google going “e-NOUGH!”
Fuck what is that from, I swear I remember seeing that shitpost before. Is it a bit from an old cracked article or something?
These are great keep them coming
AI is the new cybertruck
AI is the future.
Software engineering is rapidly becoming a net negative for us all.
That’s because most “software engineers” aren’t actually engineers. They’re more systems designers and analysts with a bit of programming knowledge and a little bit of a computer science background. Being a real engineer is very different.
I think this is not true. When interviewed, people who have crossed over from ChemE/MechE/etc say it’s engineering. We just iterate a lot faster because compiling is cheap and most software failures are cheap.
I think we rely too much on stereotypical ideas of what “real engineers” are doing, which can’t be defined and generally don’t stand up to scrutiny. For instance, is designing a processor in VHDL computer engineering or merely programming?
Pretty sure you could word things similarly for every field that’s around. I’ve yet to find a proper explanation for “software development is not engineering”
engineering is when you are tangentially related to someone wearing a hard hat
Computer science isn’t science and software engineers aren’t engineers.
Computer science isn’t science
Why not?
Because for the most part it’s approached completely unscientifically - especially in the corporate setting.
What code is “cleaner and more maintainable?” All vibes.
How should we write tests to ensure they’re robust and covering all expected functionality? Who cares just get the tool to 90% coverage and ship it.
A carpenter isn’t a wood scientist
That’s not “computer science”, you’re talking about programming or software engineering, which are workers building what computer scientists have figured out. There are very few computer scientists. They are basically specialized mathematicians. Think Dijkstra. Google has most of them chained up in a basement somewhere writing sharding algorithms or something. It’s confusing because many programmers get CS undergrad degrees, but they are starting to make “software engineering” degrees.
It’s true that CS doesn’t use the scientific method, but neither do library science, “scientific socialism”, etc. Popper isn’t the be-all end-all.
Can we have some ai generated Beetles sing this? I want to psyche my parents with this horror.
You don’t need to wait cause the AI thing was based on an old shit post with video
google isnt giving me ai results so i cant join in the fun
I just haven’t used google in years tbh
What do you use for search? It seems like all the surviving search enginers are front-ends for google and the one that isn’t is… it’s bad. It’s real bad.
I use searx
