here's an idea: take your stupid hand-wringing over definitions and shove it directly up your ass.

when you say "Many will fall for the road to be paved", you are saying your idea is more important than human fucking lives. this is a recurring theme in every fascist regime throughout human history.

fascist thinking

Ever seen Spaceballs?

“That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage!”

Yeah I think you nailed it. I also think there's a degree to which we pretend victims of economic injustice aren't "real", for lack of a better word.. If the original comment was re-framed around vehicular manslaughter or rape, I think people could more clearly see that it isn't really empathetic. That's why the sheer reaction that it got from so many people kind of blew me away.

I'm definitely stealing "management aikido" by the way, thanks for that. :)

Am I insane? I could never imagine speaking to somebody like this in real life. I'm not saying this was ill-intentioned but there's something about this comment that comes off as REALLY weird to me. It's like religious/cult-speak.

> Nobody should give a fuck about gamers

Buddy, gamers are a LARGE part of how Trump won his first term in 2016.

You’re taking advantage of a vulnerable person and diverting them from things that can actually help them to push your stupid computer parrot. You’re actively doing harm.

Since you’ve phrased it sensitively, I’ll do the non sensitive version: suggesting LLMs to someone dealing with the trauma of cancer is kind of fucking disgusting. They need emotional support from family and friends, not a computer god.

Nobody asked

I really don’t think those are the same people. Goomba fallacy, etc.

bro ran out of tokens halfway through the comment

I generally have better things to do than argue with techbros. Not always, though.

Boy look at all these six month old accounts that have been programming for decades and just love vibe coding!

who fucking asked dog

Least racist European

Oh okay, so you are just mad at me. Got it :)

How is this remotely related to omarchy? Nobody cares about your dotfile collection run by a racist and his racist friends.

Yeah in the four years I’ve had my Prusa it’s had basically no problems.

They’re a pain in the ass if you buy bottom of the barrel crap with sloppy tolerances for $100 I guess, but the same is true of regular printers.

The problem is, they could have literally done nothing instead. They could have apologized to their customers that they've been so busy with their baby that they haven't been able to get a new chalkboard out. They could have left the old chalkboard out and explained politely to people that the new items aren't on it because whoever used to make them left. They could have written (with their hands) the prices and items in halfway-decent hand-writing in a large enough font, and it would have gotten the information across in a way that was perfectly serviceable.

Instead, they chose to exploit people and remove art from the world by using ChatGPT. So no, I don't have a ton of compassion.

> this is referring to projects, don't think FrontPage is gonna cut it here

You missed the fact that this is a comment thread under an article about personal websites. Personal websites =/= web app projects.

Please point out where I mentioned JavaScript at all. You don’t need it for anything qualifying as a personal website, I.e. not a web app.

Can’t you fucking people go five seconds without making everything about Claude code? I mean Jesus fucking Christ next thing I’ll hear is that Claude code is responsible for the weather.

As if nobody made personal websites because html and CSS was too difficult. Ever heard of FrontPage? Fuck me.

I’m not interested in being civil with people who actually believe using LLMs give you skills. The same way I’m not interested in being civil with homophobes and flat-earthers.

Then we can agree to disagree :)

Thanks, I’ll work on accommodating the reading-comprehension-impaired in the future.

Yknow, admitting you have no idea what you’re talking about and coming up with a solution that doesn’t actually work used to be free.

> I have a hunch this is not lost on you though, and you're doing this performatively.

Uh, duh? I’m trying to draw a distinction that the person isn’t doing the work, the LLM is.

> On the contrary, it is a great way to induce animosity.

Sorry, what had you under the impression I was trying to make friends? When people who suck show up to your spot, you make them go away by making it clear they’re not welcome.

You wouldn't call someone who puts food in a microwave a chef, would you? And you wouldn't say that putting food in the microwave is the same thing as cooking a Michelin star meal. These are different things.

No, you can’t. Just because you can pull the lever on an LLM enough times and get something that works doesn’t mean you’ve done the work. Doing the work implies learning and transferable skills, none of which you get by prompting an LLM.
