*It's like framing Meta metaverse skeptics as "Metaverse denialists." They don't deny that Facebook's metaverse is there or that it works, they just think it was enshittified from the get-go because they distrust every executive, designer, builder and financer who was ever involved with it

I know you’ll disagree since I’m sure you’d like him to focus on NYC but Zohran could provide some small but meaningful national opposition. I liked Matt Christman’s idea in the latest Chapo on NYPD refusing to help transport Maduro between Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Somerville and Cambridge too. Boston is mixed. We don’t have anyone like Zohran.

I think we need to evolve an etiquette around LLM-generated fixes. Kind of like ”don’t fart at the table”.

I don’t mind merging PRs where a human has done the due diligence to review the patch.

But it bothers me when I get blind fixes that are clearly wrong.

My obsessive compulsive need to alias Napari as “np” was what finally convinced me that aliasing is a smell.

i.e., the code that is currently viewed as acceptable for papers is, truthfully, unacceptable and if the tooling improves our expectations as a community should improve too. I know that sucks to hear if you’re a graduate student, but i think it’s better to face that reality sooner than later.

This is my experience too. However, I’ve started to notice that some of the models are serviceable for one-off scientific projects and papers but I’d also argue that we should move the goalposts and dramatically raise expectations for that type of code. bsky.app/profile/clif...

The thing that I've noticed is the people who I know for a fact actually build and maintain complex systems for a living and that I respect as engineers have all reported mixed success with coding agents. The ones crowing from the rooftops are "talkers" who maintain standing by relentless blogging.
