"Source code file"
-
That was clear when they made Bootstrap.
Shots fired!
But honestly, for the time, bootstrap was great.

What if this is a plot to literally steal your code? You give it to the AI, page refreshes and clears your clipboard. Your entire "source code file" is now theirs, and probably part of the training set for Grok 5.
The first part is a joke, but the second part...
Ctrl+Z undoes the cut.

No, that makes them slower because theyre leaning into the wind. You want to try to mostly use A's, because they're the most aerodynamic, and anything else should be formatted as subscript to keep code size down and reduce drag. C should be avoided at all costs because it's just going to catch the wind.
Can you use T's though, once you have enough As to redirect the wind overtop them? Capital T's of course, lower-case would just get all tangled up in the turbulence.

Does he really don't know the difference between cut and copy?
It’s just a mistake. He’s an idiot but he means copy and paste.

Think of all the GOTOs
More like all the On Error Resume Next statements. Which wasn't even the worst thing about Visual Basic! VB also had the On Error Resume statement. On Error Resume Next at least moved on to the next line after an error occurred; On Error Resume just re-executed the error-generating line, I guess on the assumption that something would eventually change there.

My company actually desires that we use AI. If you fix a problem quickly and it works perfectly but you've done it manually... it's somehow worse than a colleague who took twice the amount of time and had a bad solution, but "generated by AI!"
JFC and I thought having to work in an open-office plan was the worst thing a company could do to me.
-
Presumably anybody that does this gets their code integrated into the training data right?
Is there a downside to training your AI on broken code? Can't be!

Have you used GenAI for art? It can do a reasonable job for the entire composition, but the extra fine detail have to be inpainted with specific prompts, and there are special routines that make sure faces and hands look human.
The same with code. It can outline the entire project but details need to be inpainted and specific errors handled.
The context window can't handle an entire codebase, never mind multiple projects.
Actually, I have my entire code base documented in obsidian, and I literally tell cursor to refer to the documentation. It works amazingly well, and then I have it draft documentation for the new features it's creating. I can do in a day what I used to do in a week, and it's not because it's doing anything advanced, it's just takes care of so much of the brain draining tedious tasks.

There would just be one of those, at the top of the 1 file…

On Error was used within a function, so you would have one (or more ... or less) per function.
-
how does the AI know what the rest of the project is like? Or what the purpouse of the file is?
See, that's the thing. If you take a charitable interpretation of what he's attempting to say, it still doesn't make sense.
You paste a full file from a project into Grok and it "will fix it for you!"
If you gave me, a human, a file and asked me to fix it, before I did anything else, I'd ask you "ok, what's wrong with it?" Any human who didn't and just dove right into trying to fix it would often just give you a "working" program that still didn't do what you actually wanted. Sure, sometimes the answer is obvious, it doesn't compile, or it generates unexpected errors. But, often when you hear the answer, the response is "ah, well, I think you've overlooked something when thinking about the problem, have you considered X and Y?"

Oof indeed! After 40 years, I forgot it even had fns

No one who legitimately knows anything about computing speaks like this.
He’s truly a moron’s hallucination of a genius.
An ai runs his twitter probly

Assuming people upload their code to fix it, that means it's non working code. Great training material!
I'm joking but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't think that through...

right? like at the time we had YUI and then bootstrap came along as a breath of fresh air
-
He probably thinks that the entire application is only one source file
source code? i don’t think you know what you’re talking about… it’s called a prompt

I assume it's a joke about Elon asking for developers to willingly put their code into a predatory but apparently welcoming input for digestion.
it's a copypasta meme from 2020ish

Why the fuck can't these assholes just go away?
You've won life. We get it. Good for you. Why do you need more money? Why do you need to constantly be the center of attention?*
It truly is just a handful of unscrupulous, malignant narcissists that have ruined everything (including the planet) for everyone else.
*these are rhetorical questions
these mfs don't need money anymore, they need power. money is just a byproduct of it.

I’d love to see Linus verbally bitchslap the fuckwit. Or physically, that’d be cool too.
i’d love to see linus revoke twitters license to use linux somehow

I started with VB3, which didn't have custom classes. I have no idea how I did anything back then, but at least it was better than TurboBasic.
