@aral yeah. Like everything else AI it LOOKS like it could be useful, but it's ultimately just making everything worse.

Ok, maybe that's giving too much credit to AI people. The INITIAL stuff looked useful, now so much of it is "but why would anyone want that?!"

just cancelled my GitHub copilot subscription.

The straw that broke the camel's back was creating yet another variable named that looked right, but was subtly wrong and broke things.

If i have to fucking proofreed and double check the name of every variable and environment key you generate... just ARGH no. fuck this. Too much time wasted cleaning up for copilot's stupidity.

Tell me you're a self-centered fuck who doesn't give two shits about other people's struggles without telling me...

#accessibility

@ruin it sounds like you’re using sarcasm to try and defend their decision. Having limited human resources is NEVER an acceptable reason to explicitly remove accessibility accommodations or to explicitly avoid including them.

It is ONLY an excuse for why you haven’t gotten around to it.

@ruin no developer of anything approaching the broad usage patterns of a browser can EVER test everything.

I didn’t have devices / time is NO excuse. You do your best. You reach out for help where needed.

For context i have almost 30yrs of coding for a living. Avoidind & removing accessibility because you’re a small team says that disabled people aren’t valued equally to non-disabled people.

You prioritize that work over the next whiz-bang feature that isntrely needed. It’s not hard.

@aral is love that you didn’t JUST make error messages useful, but also made them cute with fun colors

#TechWriters matter

Discord is NOT documentation

@aral It's a good thing there are never two people in the world with the same family and given name.

🤦♀️

@aral yes have. no doesn't nosedive except under well known circumstances that they warn about.

That sounds like a defect to me.

Side note: Sonnywheels have saved my bacon from nosedives SO many times. Worth EVERY penny.

@aral won't associate with instances that won't associate with massive morally bankrupt company?!?!

I mean, i'm all for folks deciding who they want to federate with but i must admit i didn't expect that from anyone who wasn't being paid by meta (or similar).
