In my fourth decade, but been in C# since 2013, had a need to learn Angular and .NET 8 beginning of 2024. Professional engineer since 2012.

Where chatGPT is an enormous help, is in the following:

• Asking questions to get documented answers. Much better than StackOverflow etc, where many answers leave out context.
• I mostly know what I want, but the details are sometimes difficult to find. E.g. most MS .NET classes documentation is sometimes just downright uninformative. Here AI helps to get simple examples.
• Rewriting simple code, like transforming the usage of building query string from + and StringBuilder to a simple, single verbatim string.
• Sometimes even just as a way to expand thinking about problems

But I wouldn't let an AI write all my code. I still needs to be kept simple, I need to be able to explain why something is done the way it is, and there is no formal way that you can trust an AI, which is really someone else's computer, with code from my customers.

Aishwarya Rai, former miss world and one of the most sought after heroine, married to the scion of the biggest and one of the richest actors in the world.

"Known for red carpet appearance"

That's still the case? So, nothing changed since the mid-90s, then ;-)

Scientific American already said it in the 1920's or 30's: outside of his specialization, every scientist/engineer is a layman.

They think that "The Eternal Life" by Jack Vance is a medical handbook.

Americans ARE celebrating seeing less brown people.

So not better than a DJ then? Most of them also know shit about music.

All that is great. And irrelevant. The point is that democrats couldn't solve any real problems to decided to call everyone a bad person for a problem that most people don't face or care about. And doubled down, like they did last time, and are continuing to do.

You never got the chance to drink a real Belgian gueuze or lambic then?

I question the trend of modern sours, because most of them just taste like acid, lemon, lime or acetic.

Also, we don't call them sours, but spontaneous fermented. In good gueuzes or lambic the acidity should be subdued.

> The reality is - it's just a vestige of sexual discrimination that you refuse to let go of.

Yeah that is exactly what is batshit crazy. You have done 0 study on this subject but you feel confident that parroting standard excuses must be making you truthful.

Here is an exercise - pick a year, or all the years - and pick a athletic sport - running, swimming etc. any. Then compare the records for women's and men's competition. You can pick any format. Now make any of that variable, keep rest of the picks constant and draw the records on a scatter plot.

Then tell me it is a vestige of sexual discrimination.

And to people saying this is such a small issue affecting maybe dozen people - apparently it was large enough to get Trump elected. Congratulations. You are a sly asshole, Trump is loud mouthed. That's all. As a non-white person your objectives are currently better aligned to me and that is all you care about. You are just as transactional as him.

Mod parent up!

Ah yes, the quintessential western urge to call everyone else a savage.

And to paper over lack of understanding with "superior" bookish definitions. That's not even just west, it is inherent to all abrahamic cultures to be honest,

Do you think everyone in venezuela is constantly standing in front of government office to buy clothes? Or do you think they are being distributed clothes as part of socialism. Or maybe they actually have shops and grocery stores? In Sweden you can apply for funding from government in return of equity, that's not the ownership of means of production?

I have already said that Sweden is closer to what Marx envisioned. So let me repeat - Venezuela's high margin business is owned by government because only government is allowed to have monopoly on violence. Venezuela's government is owned by violent thugs. I already told you why it is the case in Venezuela and not in Sweden. Or most rich western countries. The only reason this is brought up is because you do not want to acknowledge that the nice things in your life are only their because someone in your lineage supported looting pillaging and genociding. Instead we have constant regurgitating of hot garbage in the name of intellectualism.

It is not civilized to disagree with facts.
