When I ask a server for something, its response shouldn’t be “here, you do it.”

I guess I should be thankful that they were no longer demanding GOTOs.

I agree that PHP was easy to pick up, but I already knew several programming languages and was quickly shooting myself in the foot with the extremely overbuilt, redundant, and buggy builtin functions. At the time, though, it was either that or ASP, so I chose the lesser of two evils.

To segue, switch statements aren’t inherently necessary for a mature programming language; I think that addition was partially to mollify the growing userbase (not a good reason), but on the other hand it’s really just structured pattern matching wearing a hat that says “switch” on it … though again, that’s something which could fairly trivially be achieved with a list comprehension. It’s not like you’re getting the machine-code-level optimizations that a C compiler could churn out for a proper switch statement.

Get that fucking JavaScript out of here

Replaced the P in LAMP with Python when I started building webpages again a few years ago, and never looked back. Such a vastly more pleasant experience.

I’m not thankful for the snark.

Anyway, the message I’m trying to convey is that videos like this are useless and shouldn’t exist. They should just be articles.

Nope, writing a short comment is still faster.

Wish this were an article

And the fired guys had promised to disburse most of that to their employees.

Smart move, because they absolutely would have gotten sued and likely wound up with no game.

Only seven?

Oh, they’re definitely thinking of the children.

Do whatever you want with the money, just slap “AI” on any of the marketing material you send to the dipshit investors.

LOL. Doing a good job of that all by yourself, mate.

Ah, a Californian

Mere similarity implies incomplete equivalence.

It’s entirely possible to measure metrics.

Enjoy your slopware.

I seem to recall a separate study showing that it just encouraged users to think more lazily, not more critically.

The research explicitly showed that the anecdotes were flawed, and that actual measured productivity was the inverse of what the users imagined. That’s the entire point. You’re just saying “nuh uh, muh anecdotes.”
