Hum, i made a minimal RSS and Atom reader shell script based on sed and awk regex. I’m mostly fine, you just need to pick the relevant bits and ignore the rest, remove all newlines beforehand, about 10 regex strings in a case switch. And feed it to iconv, f*king
•things. But html is, where the nightmare starts.Edit: the heck,
•is a •Ew AI slop
The guy in the back with no text is me trouble shooting for 8 hrs when I could have read 5 minutes of documentation.
This happens when I outsource reading the docs to AI agents.
wait… there was a function for that? Why did you tell me to build this house of cards
Less of this AI slop please.
At this occasion I think it adds to the insanity. It makes it look like the nurse is a pationt too, with her trying to roll away a normal chair
I disagree slightly. Memes are ai slop territory
I disagree, memes should be mspaint
Nah, ai slop should stay in the facebook boomer corner and die.
Yes but not when it’s something that’s basically just a stock photo. Ill take a big ass watermark across real faces over slop any and everyday.
Tried to do a proper analysis of a bug in homologation that’s preventing our future customer to test the product, while N+3 and N+4 demand twice-daily updates through video call with ten other managers on it. Two weeks of proper madness, that was.
Stopped the meetings for one fucking day and we had it fixed before 5pm.
If we don’t have meetings then how am I going to not get any work done this sprint?
Complains about using ai with ai generated slop.
How can you tell?
How can you not? Like there are specific tells as the other user pointed out, but aside from that so much AI slop just has this absurd uncanny valley quality that Im actually kinda blown away that other people don’t immediately see it.
The hands on the guy to the left are fucked. The far one’s toes are tiny. Why is the nurse pushing a regular chair like a wheel chair?

The product manager nurse also goes crazy, trying to push a wheel-less wheelchair.
I built an MSI file once.
What, manually, without reaching for schema.msi?
Actually , either way is crazy
Oh yeah well I got an RMA from MSI customer support once so top that.
I don’t want to top that. And I’m so sorry you had to go through that.
Me too
Code Didn’t Break — They Did
At my last job, there was no planning of work/projects. Like, there was a general plan of “We need feature X by Q3 and here’s what it should do”, but nothing about breaking work down into smaller units or prioritizing different tasks.
The manager would drop an email: “Hey, can you do …” and that was it. Now it’s another thing to throw down the waterfall. Big surprise, the same bastard would harp about how the project was underperforming!
I tried out shell coding with copilot (xml manipulation and merging).
I gave up. Not worth the sanity.Most recently:
I had to parse an html table with a column of printed python dictionaries, the dicts wrapped a mixed delimiter list of SQL statements of various types.
It’s truly an abomination.
I’ve never had to use pythons AST module to parse data before…
🤮
It was 900mb raw and compressed to 1.6mb after cleaning.
That’s how much junk data there was.
Combing through that log is the only way to prove and identify where a big was introduced so I can fix it.
