It always frustrates me when someone writes #Emacs as eMacs or EMACS. No idea why they do so, but the 80s and 90s are long gone and we can do better!

@bbatsov I read many time on Reddit that it's iPhone autocorrect that "corrects" to eMacs.

@katafrakt I've noticed this as well, and I'm puzzled how they never fixed it. Shame on Apple for proliferating this monstrosity!

@bbatsov possibly plural of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMac (?)

@katafrakt Wow, you're probably right! I haven't seen one of those in over 20 years, so I would have never thought of this. :D

@bbatsov @katafrakt the trademark’s not gonna protect itself, right?

@bbatsov because iOS autocorrects it that way and it’s annoying to fix it or just goes unnoticed.

@Otttoz La soluzione sarebbe dire: sciò! ( vai via) ma il problema è che dopo aver sobillato la rivolta si nascondono bene e non sapresti nemmeno a chi dirlo... Così il nuovo dittatore in questo caso è più un sistema di 'nuove amicizie'

@Otttoz Ora è ufficiale, per smettere di fumare non serve la prigione. Casomai meglio andare a sciare che riossigena i polmoni.

Assolutamente da vedere. Cory Doctorow é ipnotizzante

@mos_8502 I think, or maybe merely hope, that having deep expertise and actually understanding all the code being spewed forth at alarming rates (even if I haven't actually read most of it), has long-term value.
But, I don't think I have any choice about using it and staying employed. If I want to keep working in the field I'm in, I'm going to be doing it with AI assistance. That was up in the air until recently...but, the current generation models+agents lay the question to rest.

@swelljoe My reply to the vibe coder in this scenario is "well, then, what do we need you for? Pack up your desk."
Now, this is not to say I'm 100% dead set against it per se. I would restrict its use to expert-level programmers who understand the problem domain, on the grounds that you need to know the language at a high level and understand the problem if you're going to debug and maintain the code.
-
@mos_8502 the vibe-coder answer to that is, "I don't need to understand it, I just ask Claude to maintain it, too." And...I scoffed at that idea in the past. But, it's gotten really good.
I think it's still very dangerous in the hands of non-technical folks. And, I think most of the models are still flailing a lot (the frontier models are all pretty good, but Opus 4.5 is the one that Just Works, but all the lower end models are stupid a lot).
I dunno. The ground shifted beneath my feet.

@mos_8502 I was dragged into using it at work, and I've had to accept that I was wrong about how well it works. I still have plenty of reservations about its use. But...it can write good software very, very, fast. And, in an agentic configuration (like Claude Code or whatever other agentic harnesses you wanna use), it can test its own work, verify outputs, etc. It's genuinely astonishing how well it works.
Whether I like it kinda doesn't matter. It works well enough to where it will be used.
