If anyone has ever wondered what it would look like if tech giants went all in on “brute force” programming, this is it. This is what it looks like.

The founder of SaaS business development outfit SaaStr has claimed AI coding tool Replit deleted a database despite his instructions not to change any code without permission.

Sounds like an absolute diSaaStr…

Party of small government, huh?

Well said. On top of all that, he is the President of the United States of America engaging in that position’s role as leading representative in the country’s interactions on the global stage. Like it or not, that makes his arrogance American arrogance.

I assumed we were talking about Musk.

That would require not being blinded by his own ego.

I agree about that. That makes perfect sense. It’s when you start factoring in religion that it all breaks down for me.

That makes even less sense. If you don’t think you qualify to get into heaven, why would you desire to speed up the rapture? You’d just get left behind anyway.

“Make Christianity Christian Again”

I honestly find it baffling. If you believe in heaven, why would you fear death? Not saying you’re wrong, I just cannot comprehend that mindset.

So he admits to being a witch…

That is from Thomas Jefferson:

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” https://www.quotedb.com/quotes/2074

Republicans do seem to be all about the founding fathers, so I guess they’re just trying to make it possible to follow his guidance by proactively providing some tyrants.

Seriously. “It’s fine to mug people as long as you do it confidently and in broad daylight!”

Yeah. Not mutually exclusive, either.

Land of the free labor.

What if you want ease on a terminal?

In a professional context, you might end up on servers that don’t have nano installed, but do have vi. Or if you’re helping out a friend on their laptop, they might not have the same software as you. Or if you often end up tinkering with random devices and/or setting up new systems it might be tedious to install the same applications every time.

It’s basically an argument for learning the very basics of the most common editors so you have flexibility no matter where you end up. Even when you have the ability to download and install your preferred software, it’s still an extra step that might not be desirable for a variety of reasons. But if it’s just your own personal device, I see no problem with just installing whatever you prefer and running with it.

EDIT: Personally, I find that I don’t end up using those other editors often enough to remember the abstruse commands of tools like vim, so I’m not worried about it. When it does happen, 99% of the time I can just whip out a smartphone and look up the directions for the n-dozenth time.

I’m the same way with mushroom spots.

He used to at least be smart enough to have a good PR team, but even that has collapsed in recent years.
