       Hi @mullvadnet I am unable to pay for an extension using my usual payment method. I have appreciated your service up to this point, but I guess this is the end for a while.

       @aburka Heh, yeah, here's another "ends justifies the means" position."Because it technically can help achieve a goal, we should do it" is a morally bankrupt position.

       @aburka "When I write code I am turning a creative idea into a mechanical embodiment of that idea. I am not creating beauty."Profound disagreement on that one.

       @aburka "Look, coders, we are not writers."Not sure I want to be on a team with him.

       I have started having to review LLM generated test cases.In my limited sample, about 33-50% of the test cases are invalid, not applicable, or don't count as tests.And of course there is a deluge of them.

       Doing some maintenance on my wife's machine, including backups. Windows backup is looking to be a clown show.There was a folder on the desktop with a non-ASCII character in the name (a cdot, ·). It has a lot stuff in it, but it's older we need to remove it.I ran the backup.But because I don't trust programmers in general, I was cautious. So I checked the backup drive. That folder wasn't there!I replaced the cdot with a space and - voila! - the folder is backed up.Trust level? LOW.

       Obvious follow up: how many other files has this happened with?I could do the analysis to find out, but jeez... my wife just wants some free space.
