Bad Tat

Agreed. It’s a sign of poor impulse control and bad taste.

It’s an aesthetic crime pointing to subpar character, a high future discount rate, and that we’ll have no shared goals. That’s enough.

I don’t give a shit about — or even believe — the garbage about body ownership or whatever clownery the faux-feminists have come up with. Watching women incel themselves with tattoos, though, is pretty hilarious I do have to admit.

Why does relationship in the U.S. feel so harsh compared to back home?

The US has the worst relationship culture and by far the most abysmal gender relations of any Western country. Also, the worst, most entitled women and nearly the worst men1 overall.

Dating will be hell for anyone who is not accustomed to gender relations being outright unrestricted warfare.

Junior Dev

This is because AI is currently “only” as good as a very good, tireless, junior developer. I can get someone/something like that to do whatever I want because I have an extensive technical background and have done near-dev work my entire life starting from when I was five years old.

Someone without that experience like Katie is not qualified to tell a junior dev (the AI) what to do or how to do it, so their efforts will fail. AI and junior devs currently share a lot. For instance:

1) A junior dev/AI has no idea why it’s doing anything, even if you explain it it. Can write good code but has no design sense or architectural vision.

2) A junior dev/AI will make whatever changes they are told, but will not be able to contextualize them in any real way.

3) A junior dev/AI will not set up its dev environment competently without extensive assistance.

4) A junior dev/AI will not understand what to test or why, especially in the context of the larger user experience.

5) A junior dev/AI will have no idea about security, and not understand it it any real way even with extensive explanation and guidance.

I am not saying that AI is not useful. What I am saying is that AI is only as good as a talented but green junior developer with 1-2 years of experience. That’s still far, far superior to nothing.

So that means that someone like Katie is not yet able to steer it correctly to build anything good or useful.
