Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

there’s no way you did that without consulting copilot or at least ChatGPT. thank you sam altman for finally enabling me to capitalize whole words in my editor!
....this just made me wonder what quotient of all these promptfondlers and promptfans are people who've just never really been able to express emotion (for whatever reason (there are many possible causes, this ain't a judgement about that)), who've found the prompts' effusive supportive "yes, and"-ness to be the first bit of permission they ever got to express
and now my brain hurts because that thought is cursed as fuck
yes, i actually never learned how to capitalize properly, they told me to use capslock and shift, but that makes all the letters come out small still. thanks chatgpt.
my IDE,
notepad.exe
, didn’t support capitalizing words until they added copilot to it. so therefore qed editors couldn’t do that without LLMs. computer science is so easy!For a moment I misread your post and had to check notepadplusplus for AI integration. Don't scare me like that
fortunately, notepad++ hasn’t (yet) enshittified. it’s fucking weird we can’t say the same about the original though
I'd argue that you cannot say basic notepad has enshittified, as it always was quite shit. That is why 9 out of 10 dentists recommend notepad++
there's a difference between "barebones"[0] and this shit
[0] - I will grant you that notepad used to be abysmal about handling unicode in the before time, but it's been less-fucked since at least XP or so iirc
Notepad has a right click menu? Mind blown ;). (but yes, sorry im showing my old ass and having decades old software grudges which are not really relevant anymore, I have become that which I hated).
