It's when you want to say "kurwo jebana" but in a more polite, sophisticated way.

Think "bless your heart".

2012? So where's the reporting of their success? 12 years is enough to literally finish med school and get a license, surely they achieved way more in that time with their massive rat ~~dongs~~ brains.

Don't bother me with facts, I'm trying to think!

Make it even funnier, AGI launches and then gets taken down because the only maintainer of xzutils left and now every time the AGI tries to run ./killallhumans it segfaults to death.

Also, and this shouldn't be left unsaid, we're talking about the Windows kernel here. A place with C++ code so cursed it is legendarily unhealthy to work in, as the cosmic horrors contained within slowly eat away at your sanity and warp the perception of time and space. Seeing that code for a few hours is enough to make a grown man cry. Seeing that code for a few weeks is enough to make you never cry again, as the terrible truth worms its way into your mind.

"DEI hire", hah! The creature makes no distinction for race or gender as it fattens itself upon your failure! Even a glimpse at the edge of its abyss is enough to trigger a cycle of revelation - all modern software lies upon a rotting pile of ancient mistakes.

Joel's no longer associated with SO, though, right? He's not even a chairman at this point.

The fall from grace of StackOverflow is something both mesmerising and horrifying.

An invaluable repository of programming knowledge ground into dust as the last tokens of good will are cashed in for stinky money. It was a unique place, where self-moderation by the community actually worked to a large extent.

How the fuck did we get here? First the AI debacle, now this. Joel Spolsky always appeared as a reasonable guy, I wonder how much him stepping down is intertwined with SO making some of the worst possible calls in the past few years.

So you run a normal query but then run the results through an enshittifier to make sure nothing useful is actually returned to the user.

RAG

The fuck's a rag in an AI context

Jesus fucking christ...

So where do I switch now? Is this the moment I build my own email server and handle this shit myself? I really don't wanna...

“Step One: We kill God

I'm in for that. He can do with the corpse whatever he wants after, as long as I don't have to see it.
