I've been tempted to create a bot that does nothing but search comments in code for misspelled words and create pull requests for them.

If it stays in comments, little chance in breaking a working codebase and I'd have an insane amount of commits and contributions to a wide variety of codebases for my resume.

I'll never be a top tier coder. But I might make management.

It's time for chbottomt and clbottom to finally become valid HTML statements.

Wow they really went into their stupid useless plan in the most ham-fisted way

I had a Pycharm linter with "inconsiderate writing list" flag my use of "bi" as inappropriate, recommending to use "bisexual" instead. In my data job, BI, means business intelligence, it's everywhere.

I'm confused how bi is inappropriate

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 130 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Gotta love Microsoft Power Bisexual

[–] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I now identify as a Power Bisexual.

How is that inconsiderate? That's just informal

(Using "bi" to mean "bisexual", I mean, not "business intelligence" lol)

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, it's right.

Business intelligence is inconsiderate and must be stopped!

The ol' master/ slave configuration again....

At least for that we have replacement names that make sense (like primary and secondary or replica).

Tangentially related rant: We had a new contributor open up a pull request today and I gave their changes an initial look to make sure no malicious code is included.
I couldn't see anything wrong with it. The PR was certainly a bit short, but the task they tackled was pretty much a matter of either it works or it doesn't. And I figured, if they open a PR, they'll have a working solution.

...well, I tell the CI/CD runner to get going and it immediately runs into a compile error. Not an exotic compile error, the person who submitted the PR had never even tried to compile it.

Then it dawned on me. They had included a link to a GitHub Copilot workspace, supposedly just for context.
In reality, they had asked the dumbass LLM to do the change described in the ticket and figured, it would produce a working PR right off the bat. No need to even check it, just let the maintainer do the validation.

In an attempt to give them constructive feedback, I tried to figure out, if this GitHub Copilot workspace thingamabob had a Compile-button that they just forgot to click, so I actually watched Microsoft's ad video for it.
And sure enough, I saw right then and there, who really was at fault for this abomination of a PR.

The ad showed exactly that. Just chat a bit with the LLM and then directly create a PR. Which, yes, there is a theoretical chance of this possibly making sense, like when rewording the documentation. But for any actual code changes? Fuck no.

So, most sincerely: Fuck you, Microsoft.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (3 children)

dude. i feel that pain.

i got a dev fired because they absolutely refused to test their changes before submitting.

I'm not talking once or twice either. at least a year of that bullshit. i had to show my boss how many hours of wasted time it was taking me because I look at the code first, like literally anybody. Eventually boss pipd them and fired them but holy fuck i wanted to kick that douche in the groin every time i saw a pr with their name on it.

next place I work I'm insisting on a build step success to assign a pr.

Surely you have to blame the idiot human here who actually has the ability to reason (in theory)

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 53 points 1 day ago (5 children)

You think the decision to build this bot like that was not made by a human? Its idiot humans all the way down.

We will never solve the Scunthorpe Problem.

there's a very trivial solution that always works actually, it's called "stop being a prude"

Holy shit, 10,000 commits because each change was individual (I'm assuming automated).

oh god

yeah, no. haha

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 64 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Those commit messages though 🤣

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They automated randomization of the commit messages? Wtf?

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

Gotta appreciate the level of commitment on this commit...

[–] lily33@lemm.ee 32 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And they're all with different commit message:

"switched arse to bottom to create a more uplifting vibe"

"took arse out and put bottom in to keep my language warm and friendly"

"thought bottom would sound a lot nicer than arse, so I used it"

And so on..

I am in doubt. That wouldn't even compile. But who am I to think somebody changing something like this would actually do a test compilation afterwards....

[–] dan@upvote.au 43 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

HTML isn't compiled, and unknown attributes are allowed. The best practice is to prefix non-standard attributes with data- (e.g. <div data-foo="test">) but nothing enforces that. Custom attributes can be retrieved in JavaScript or targeted in CSS rules.
