You misunderstood the first sentence in my comment.

I’ve edited the word had to needed to make it more clear.

All the CEO needed to say after funding that fascist was:

Oops, sorry. I didn’t check out that developer’s history before funding his project. It won’t happen again. I promise going forwards that we’ll google people’s names first before sending them any money.

They didn’t have to make a big deal about it, even a simple quickly forgotten post on their personal social media account would have been enough.

People still ask him about it, and he’ll talk about anything else.

But he won’t give a simple apology.

His silence is deafening.

Better to just go for the EU version of framework without the fascism: https://novacustom.com/

Edit: Changed “All the CEO had to say” to “All the CEO needed to say” to avoid confusion.

Only something created by a human can be copyrightable. (See the copyright status of monkey who took a selfie for precedent).

Any code written by an LLM is not copywritable because a human did not write it.

Also the company that trained the LLM is likely in breach of the licenses the code palls under.

If the rewrite is based on something which has a license that your company can’t use, then the rewrite likely can’t be used either

write something that already exists so it doesn’t need to think

If something already exists, it shouldn’t need to be rewritten.

Doing otherwise is a sign that something has gone wrong.

That was the case before LLMs and it is still the case today.

You replied to someone establishing a premise (ebikes are not dangerous), then built a whole wall of text built upon that premise. If the premise is removed, everything else built upon it falls down.

The premise was flawed.

I pointed that out.

Anything built upon it becomes irrelevant. There’s as much point to go through the text built upon the flawed premise, as there is to keep trying to build upon it.

The physics is not, per se, relevant.

I will forever remember this day, the 8th of April 2026 when Zagorath discovered that when it came to traffic collisions: physics was not relevant.

Please remember me, the little person, in your acceptance speech to the Nobel Committee.

because ebikes are not capable of tearing around. They are pedal assist only, no throttle; limited to going 25 km/h while receiving motor assistance […] All ebikes do is making riding easier at the same or lower speeds than regular cyclists are doing

A bike going 10km faster than an ebike is not more dangerous than the ebike.

The reverse is also true: An ebike going 10km slower than a bike does not make the ebike safer.

Reason: The ebike has more mass, which means there’s a lot more inertia getting transferred during a collision.

There’s a lot of “classless” css frameworks.

Custom hand-rolled css will always be best, but when I need something fast I’ve been using the confusingly named purecss for years this since it’s compartmentalised in such a way that you can just exclude the parts that you don’t use (e.g. tables) to save on network size.

The first month is inputted with a 1 and exported as a 0.

The first day is inputted with a 1 and exported as a 1.

WTF is with some of the tests using a 6144 x 2560 resolution?

What the hell kind of display are they using?

The only one I could find at that weird-ass resolution was a 52 inch?! dell monitor.

Is anyone seriously using a 52 inch display?

I think they should probably be using normal resolutions for all the tests so they don’t end up benchmarking some weird corner case optimisation issue that no one is going to run into.

Respectfully disagree.

Gnome is the environment not implementing Server-side window decorations.

That makes everything harder for app developers since they have to implement client side window decorations to make apps movable just for Gnome.

When apps can’t be moved around on Gnome because they don’t have a window handle to drag, it doesn’t really fit the “it just works” requirement.

Also: January is not always the 1st month, sometimes it is the 0th.

1/1/2026 can be both Jan 1st, and Feb 1st.

For the downvoters, try it in your browser’s terminal:

let test = new Date("1-1-2026");

console.log(`Year: ${test.getFullYear()}, Month: ${test.getMonth()}, Day: ${test.getDate()}`);
// Prints -> Year: 2026, Month: 0, Day: 1

// --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

// test.getFullYear() returns the year, but test.getYear() only returns the number of years since 1900

// test.getMonth() returns the month, but the first month is 0-indexed

// test.getDate() returns the day, 1-indexed, but test.getDay() returns the current day right now and not the day of the date object

Deno’s packaging can be confusing (is this dependency installed in node_modules, the global cache or somehow both across module boundaries?)…

… But damn, its permission system is fucking amazing. Just run your code like normal and watch what permissions it asks you for.

What’s that?

Oh, you’d like permission to read the env file and network access? Begone namesquatted malware!

What’s that?

Oh, you want write permission to /.., fuck off slopped out pull request!

I tried porting a project back to node (v24) to see what it was like (since I heard node had a permission system now) and because some devs wanted to stick with what was familiar to them.

First thing I noticed, my watch/rebuild/serve script went from 0.2 seconds to 3-5 seconds with no code changes and using the same dependencies that were originally written for node.

Second thing, Node’s permission system doesn’t work because it’s broken by design. Permissions cannot ever be opt in. Everything needs to be locked down and you need to explicitly get permission to access things.

In node’s design, a junior dev could “opt in” to the network permission to disable network requests, but they wouldn’t think to block subprocesses (which could call cURL/wget and get it to make network requests on the main processes’ behalf). It’s utterly broken and shifts the blame to the developer for not knowing better.

I instantly switched the project back to deno.

it’s good at answering questions like that

Are you sure about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtBI2BvPKBQ

Remember: if you don’t know enough about the topic in question to grade its answers then you’re not judging its ability to answer accurately, you’re judging it’s ability to convince you.

Ah yes, the ol’ people are annoyed at the actions I chose to take, so I’ll call it a joke defence

It’s for the best.

Learning how code works is better than getting an LLM to produce convincing looking code without anyone having an understanding of how it works.

LLMs just teach students to paint themselves into a corner without them even realising why bad things keep happening to them.

How is that my problem

Well let’s break it down…

You thought:

Yeah, it’s called .deb

Was an acceptable response to:

Because it’s nice for devs to have a single package type to build per OS

Your problem was your stupidity.

But now your problem is everyone knowing about it.

More like “why the fuck would I walk all the way across the city now that I own a car”

That’s a bad analogy.

Using an LLM for coding gives you an initial speed up with the trade off being skill atrophy, and a build up of cognitive debt in the project.

A better analogy would be the Greek government before their national debt crisis. It would have been better to invest in themselves, not lie about their own finances, and not kick the can down the road. But they kept lying and kicking the can down the road because it was easier in the short term. Of course, we all know how that turned out in the end.

They published a release without release notes.

The release notes came later.
