It’s both.

I’m picturing something like Slenderman arriving and dragging me off to the land of model failures forever.

The critical detail being that you don’t actually know what’s inside (and it’s definitely bad). Just using LLM assistance for a your boilerplate code doesn’t count.

Because if not, I feel like this could get the team in legal or at least financial hot water with investors.

Which doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, just that it’s not normal and okay.

Shoot. Maybe someone’s card is in the right order.

Destroys well-paying jobs has been a major public issue since the mechanical loom was invented in 17whatever. I like mechanical looms. I think there’s varying opinion even on here about which squares are actually bad and which are just whining.

Dating apps and similar with insufficient moderation come to mind, or even ones that effectively paywall dickpics and harassment instead of removing it.

For gender nonconforming people, lots of forms.

Are they making elevators without mechanical fail-safes now?

It definitely is.

OP worries about being replaced “like the programmers of old”.

I’m pretty sure this is set in the future.

I have noticed an attitude like being a computer person is a defect, but they still want us to fix their shit, sometimes.

Blyat.

Interesting how Wikipedia handles slashes in the title.

Good to know! Although I have to wonder if that’s true for programs more recently set up as well. That was >40 years ago.

Ah, so it dovetails with the whole “children get a name reasonably fast” thing. I was interpreting that as “ever, in a natural lifespan”. My bad, haha.

I suppose a counterexample to that might be cultures which do not use script in general. Then, obviously, there’s no Unicode characters for these non-existant glyphs.

True, but there’s little risk of a name being entered into a form without some kind of transcription.

It’s true. Who’s Jenny, for the zoomers in the chat?

Is there not a “falsehoods programmers think about phone numbers” yet?

Edit: And once again, I’m still confused about some of these. Do we need to expand unicode for names? It’s supposed to be universal. WTF is up with 40?

It took me a while to notice the problem. Am I an AI?

TBF if I was writing for my dog I’d pull out all the stops. Only the best for such a good boy! He would eat almost anything, though.

This is one of those moments I’m depressed I’m poor and this guy probably wasn’t. Just, how do you fuck up that bad?

Huge application. Dominating it’s industry. It had only one user on a DBs with a password that hadn’t been changed in over a decade. Same user/pass for each DB as well. The DBs were all publicly accessible. The applications, clients, engineers, and everyone else used that singular user.

At least one of those people seriously considered doing crime, right? It would be like shooting fish in a barrel and, with simple steps to hide your network origin, there would be no way of finding the culprit. With the kind of ransoms you could get from a company like that you could go and live happily ever after in Dubai.

Absolute madness.
