🔥 Top post Semi-annual blathering about AI: I still don't use any AI code in my work, but I have to review more and more of it these days. One of the things bothering me about that these days is just how lacking in personality that code is. RenderMan is a code base which is now over forty … ★ 533
PS I am a hypocrite who no longer lives in a Craftsman and now lives in a house with very efficient windows, AC, and white walls ★ 68 I think that's plenty unhinged ranting for now. I'm sure someone years from now will point out that I wrote the most boring code, but man, did I write long commit logs, sometimes full of snark. Maybe that's the only artistic footprint I'll… ★ 111 Code is art. I work at a studio full of ungodly talented artists, but I will still die on this hill. Code is often messy and dirty and it's a pain to create and get right but the results reflect the personality of the creator and the pain … ★ 446 A very efficient modern house with white walls and triple paned windows and an open concept kitchen?

Ok. I think the housing analogy breaks down.

But he also left a comment in the implicit field code which was a quote from the Preface to Samuel Johnson's Dictionary, from 1755. That's ju… ★ 94 I've been in this code base for 26+ years and I can recognize the author of many chunks simply by looking at indentation, comments, or coding style. And I can often map style to personality quirks of the author. Dan McCoy's code for conver… ★ 113
