  • “B-but the old testament said…”

    That retort gets so fucking old. At the same time as many fundies talk about how Jesus ushered in a new era of laws, they cling on to the bullshit written by randos hundreds of thousands or years earlier.

    These are the same books that shout about how eating shellfish and mixing fabrics are affronts to God. The same ones that herald how virtuous a guy is because he was going to murder his own kid because of a talking bush. The same ones that go into graphic detail about donkey emissions. And yet certain snippets are still relevant in the midsts of all that dross? Give me a break!

    And before any Christians respond, know that I (and others) don’t care. You can obsess over the old testament all you like. If you find value in their writings then good for you. But don’t force that discriminatory, hateful crap on other people.

    Edit: fixed a typo.








  • Ah yes, a classic tale…

    “We’re going to take this perfectly efficient and functional COBOL code base and rewrite it in Java! And we’ll do it in a few months!”

    So many more competent people and organizations than them have already tried this and spectacularly crashed and burned. There are literal case studies on these types of failed endeavors.

    I bet they’ll do it in Waterfall too.

    It’s interesting. If they use Grok, this could well be the deathknell for vibe programming (at least for now). It’s just fucking tragic that their hubris will cause grief and pain to so many Americans - and cost the lives of more than a few.

    Edit: Fixed some typos.
