> Most people use short review prompt, with yes/no answers

I don't. I review code by hand, like I have for 20 years. I think you might have some sample bias.

That's smart, they only recommend benchmarks that make them look better then their competitors.

> Or add section to explain most common agent comments.

Shouldn't your agent explain its own comments? why would the author of a fast queue care what your agent says?

> Sounds like you might work on a team with some agency to say no to management.

If I didn't work on such a team, I would last exactly as long as it took me to find such a team.

If only Github was reliable and trustworthy, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Maybe those people weren't wrong to do that...

I would expect that's true in any field that moves as fast as software development.

Developer A makes a move, perceives some benefit, tells developer B, who does the same thing and then tells developer C.

Some of the people consider the move, weigh costs, and make an intelligent decision. Many just think "smart people are doing this, I'll do it too". I really doubt this behavior is unique to developers.

But why be exclusive? Why not "Chart language for computer programs to generate"?

I don't want to use an agent at all, but i wouldn't mind generating some charts with an easy-to-generate markup language...

I'd rather find the mistakes with my human brain. Keeps me limber. I might even accidentally learn something.

They should have just had the base64 block and forced you to decode and read it before running it, rather then having the `eval` bit at the beginning...

> All the smells you pointed out, just look like a Python dev approaching bash without fully understanding it.

also, referring to Linux as "the language of the internet" when bash isn't particularly suited for internet tasks also smell like "excited windows Python dev"...

So what you're saying (and I agree with) is that antibiotics aren't gate kept *enough*

> Antibiotics are routinely given to all of their farm animals as part of their food, for prophylaxis.

That's also a problem [0]; and it's one that can't be solved by creating a second, somewhat related problem.

One of the reasons doxycyclene is so effective is because it's less overprescribed. Antibiotic resistance is a real thing, and the day we run out of viable ones is going to be ugly. Having a gatekeeper isn't a bad idea.

I don't know about that, i think it's pretty common knowledge that the EU caused the iPhone port change, and it's generally regarded as a good thing

Also, third party batteries vary wildly in quality -- I've replaced the battery in my Nintendo switch twice, both times using brands I've heard of, and neither battery is as good as the original OEM battery was when i first got it.
