It's a treasure trove of hilariously bad takes.

There's nothing intrinsically valuable about art requiring a lot of work to be produced. It's better that we can do it with a prompt now in 5 seconds

Now I need some eye bleach. I can't tell anymore if they are trolling or their brains are fully rotten.

Digressing: The irony is that it's a language with one of the best standard libraries out there. Wanna run a http reverse proxy with TLS cross compiled for a different os? No problem!

Many times I used it only because of that despite it being a worse language.

What do you mean by decline? Years ago I've been involved in a local ruby community in Poland and even back then his takes were considered unhinged.

Huh, what happened? Would you mind linking some more details?

Depends on how they are used. They are extremely useful when they add context that is otherwise not present in the code, but way too often I see people simply restating what the code does in the comment. That's not very useful and can become confusing if the code later gets updated without updating the associated comment.

Oh for fucks sake, how am I supposed to do my computering now. I already switched to lix after the last drama. Hopefully more people will pick aux up now.

Huh, the shit people go as far as to in order to avoid getting a therapist

So the normal debuggers that we have for ages, right?
