"almost right, but critically broken in subtle ways" turns out to actually be more than good enough for many people and many purposes. You're describing the "success" state.

Exactly. The consequences are at worst a problem for "future me", and at best "somebody else's problem".

AI didn't create this reality, but it's certainly moved it into the spotlight and to "center stage."

Yes. Exactly. In my experience, there's more code shops that ship shit than that catch their mistakes.

They get a lot of things wrong but there's so much usable that you can save a ton of time over doing everything yourself from scratch.

Your experience with Junior devs has been quite different from mine.

I work with Junior devs because someday they will be senior devs who owe me a favon, even though they've always only costed me time.

Edit: I also work with junior devs because sometimes a tiny corner of my job is both mind-numbingly boring, and also weirdly difficult to automate away.

I assign that work to junior devs because I don't want to do it.

In doing so, I am wasting the boss's money, since I could do it faster.

But I consider it but just another part of the price of hiring me, because it keeps me happy.

Interesting. I wonder if the exact method may become common knowledge, helping force Walmart to consider paying a living wage...

Can't have eggs, bacon, Spam and sauage without tbe Spam - it wouldn't be eggs, bacon, Spam and sausage, then!

Sneakers is the best hacker movie ever made.

Correct.

ani.social is...weird

Yes. It's like they've never heard of tagging.

I block them to keep myself from posting the "if those kids could read" meme each time someone asks them to use tags.

If the customer isn't running the same debugger i am, i have no sympathy for them. (I'm joking!)

Nice! Classic skit, perfectly applied.

I tried again, still didn't work for me. Could be my layers of VPN, or I might need to update my Lemmy client, though.

It won't load for me, but I assume this will link to Monty Python's "Every Sperm is Sacred"?

Wha-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow?!

Nice. I also like how Kristen Bell never gets to be Princess Anna (who she voiced) on Halloween, because one year her daughter wanted to be Anna and didn't want to match, and another year her daughter wanted to be Elsa, and demanded that they match.
