@paco hmm, automated stack-overflow copypasta is apt.
But we’ll need a derogatory acronym, uh.. ASS =automated stack-overflow snippets, or (a new kind of) ASCI = automated stack-overflow copypasta inserting, etc.
@cascheranno
I dunno about acronyms, but here are some good terms I commend to your use.
- Full Slop Developer
- DevSlops
- SecSlops
- DevSecSlops
- CS/CD (continuous slop/continuous deployment)

@paco The drum I keep beating is Peter Naur's "Programming As Theory-Building" from all the way back in 1985. The job of software development has always been about knowing how your shit works (and perhaps more importantly, what exactly it's supposed to do).
It's disheartening as fuck to see so many people in the industry having to rediscover that from first principles, or worse, continue on blithely.
@delta_vee I agree. We have gotten so far from those seminal lessons that a whole generation is insisting on learning them again. It’s such an implicit disparagement of a whole field. This idea that radically underinformed and underskilled people can do the work of skilled, experienced people just by getting a typing assistant.

@Orb2069 That’s EASY! Use an LLM to process the code and assign a “comprehensibility score….”
@paco you laugh, but I've seen a few ai-related 'research' papers that use that exact methodology.

@skoombidoombis @barryjsullivan @paco @briankrebs Well yea dont you know how much investment the Trump administration is putting into prime real estate in Gaza. C'mon man... we need to put the rich interests first or did I mean Israel?
Even more comical is Ben Shapiro calling Americans lazy and stupid for not knowing how to balance a checkbook. Yet our taxes fund their missiles, birthright trips to Israel (non-directly), partnerships and other programs.
Its getting beyond ridiculous how much America takes it up the rear end.
Don't have freedom of speech to speak against Israel's crimes publicly though because the FBI who apparently work for them will come knocking. So Israel is reshaping our constitution while they are at it.
Dumb Christian Nationalist MAGA idiots.@x41h a few months after October 7 a journalist was interviewing Israelis on the streets going about their days. One woman stuck with me. She was in tears over the incident. Then the journalist asked what if Gaza becomes part of Israel and the two state solution dies. In the blink of an eye her tears disappeared and joyfully said with a smile “a house on the beach in Gaza would be nice.” Dead children is a small price for Mediterranean real estate.

@paco one time I brought down the Internet for an entire university by editing a BIND file and using "#" as a comment line instead of ";".
Fortunately this was like 1996 and I fixed it in about 10 minutes and nobody much noticed, but. Yeah. Always DNS.

@adr This was a single dot. I had a CNAME for www and it pointed to host.cdn.net without a final dot. So it was a CNAME to host.cdn.example.com instead of a CNAME to host.cdn.net.

@paco Consider your DNS privileges revoked.
You’re only allowed to modify hosts files going forward
(I did so many DNS shenanigans, one would spend a lifetime counting)

@EdwinG The most embarrassing thing is that I probably know more than the average person. But it doesn’t matter. I’m getting clumsy in my old age.

@paco Dammit Paco -- did the Nominum folks teach you nothing?!?
(I think I still have the binder they gave us back then)

@paco Our rule, which we have found pretty accurate, is to take the time for the game on the box and double it. Box times only happen with experienced players (thus no teach) and no AP. In one of my regular gaming meetups there's a group of us who pride ourselves in actually being able to knock out Terraforming Mars:
Ares Expedition in the 45 minute box time. -
@paco
️ Not the same but I have also been having DNS-related problems today... small world!

@paco they do get soaking wet on and abandoned house. You know, this shit is sooo hot.

@paco look closer. He has a work tie and then he comes home and puts on his casual tie with his robe.
