Well, this looks like the equivalent of GPTs to me. Meaning some user, in this case the user “sluttypuffin”, has chosen the prompt directives that instruct the model about how it should respond. So the hyperbolized nature of this is (and I’m guessing to be clear) is likely something that sluttypuffin specifically constructed with their prompt engineering.
This is where prompt engineering becomes more important. Next time consider pre-pending some kind of plain English set of expectations before pasting your code. Something like, “I want you to write tests for this code. Here are the expected behaviors <expected behaviors list>, and here are unexpected behaviors <unexpected behaviors list>. Tests should pass if they adhere to the expected behaviors and fail if they have unexpected behaviors. Here is the code: <code>”.
Like most LLM generation though, it’s not a deterministic thing and like you mentioned originally it takes some verification of the output. I still think with the extra steps it saves time when applied to the right scenarios. The longer the input the higher the hallucinations count in my experience though, so I always keep the code provided in the smallest chunk possible which still has enough context.
>cultural adoption reproducing itself
… what? You’ve gone to great lengths here to fabricate a phrase that is semantically equivalent to “influence” in the most obfuscated way possible.
>cultural hegemony
See previous … what?
Let’s get down to brass tax.
A does foo.
B notices A has done foo.
B decides it will also do foo.
A has influenced B.
There are other aspects about the original comment which were better targets than attacking the meaning of “influence”, such as America’s status as a melting pot whose traditions are in great part just the collection of influences from the multitude of ethnicities which can be represented by the single term “American”. Thinking America has such dramatic unique influence while ignoring its composition of influences from other cultures is not giving honest context. That’s the part I would have gone after.
I mean, they probably would if public services paid their engineers Google salaries. Do you think someone who can make 150k at Google is going to take a public services eng job for at minimum 50% less pay? Of course to have public service jobs like that we’d have to pay more taxes… and thus you end up with overworked engineers who are probably ok at their job but not on the same level as the big private companies
The things you seem to be worried about are configurable in the tsconfig. You can stay as polyfill free as you would like by instructing the Typescript compiler to error out instead of making the glue for you. Aside from the inescapable quirks of runtime JavaScript, Typescript felt pretty intuitive to me when transitioning to a new job from C# previously. Typescript with ESLint is about as solid as you’re going to get with JavaScript. I know that ideally there’d be something better, but in the real world right now this is the best it gets. At some point reality and business constraints are going to slam into ideations and things are going to get a bit dirty.
Aside from that, no matter what you pick, standard Typescript configs are absolutely compiling to JavaScript, not any other step in the interpreting process. It doesn’t matter if it’s taking your async/await and polyfilling it to run on an older browser engine… it’s still producing 100% JavaScript.
It goes Typescript -> JavaScript during the build, and the JS is what gets distributed to clients.
The JavaScript produced by TS is sent to the browser which performs the same JavaScript -> abstract syntax tree -> byte code -> execution, as usual

It’s semantics, but thinking of QA as refinements rather than criticisms goes a long way. Everyone is reasonable until their mental defenses are activated I believe. I think it’s worth making even great efforts to communicate improvements or requirements without using phrases which make someone feel bad. If the goal is to actually persuade and make a positive impact rather than just point fingers to feel superior, finding the way to say things without assigning shame is almost always the way to get things done.
Good QA will be sensitive to this when creating feedback, and good Devs will understand that tunnel vision from submerged in the product full time every day will typically lead to a built experience that isn’t amenable to large portions of their users.
Providing QA feedback tactfully is an impressive and appreciated skill, as is receiving feedback gracefully. Everyone should aspire to do both.
This quote is always mildly irritating. Einstein was the mental equivalent of an Olympic athlete with multiple gold medals. That man was so far disconnected from the mental limitations of average people that some quotes don’t hold much value because they’re created in context of his experience. I work in a creatively challenging job, and I’m mentally wasted after a full day sometimes, to the point that anything I create is hot garbage until I rest and change my focus. I’ll read my books and play my games thank you kindly.
Interesting. I don’t like the name at all because it makes me think of people who take horoscopes seriously. You’re impression seems to be untainted by that which is nice
Genuine question, how do you find a trusted mechanic? I know close to nothing about cars. Just the basic things I need to do to maintain it really. I find the space intimidating because I don’t have the ability to sus out the people I’m interacting with, and my impression of the field is that it’s kinda “get all you can” out of a customer. Ultimately I end up leasing so I get the two years free maintenance and oil changes and never have a vehicle long enough to have to deal with real issues. I have good credit so I don’t feel too bad about the trade off just for the sake of not having to worry about cars. I basically have the feeling I imagine tech illiterate people get when they talk to Best Buy geek squad employees but for me it’s with cars.
