Censorship is getting out of hand

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.

We will never solve the Scunthorpe Problem.

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.

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

Similar vibe:

It’s a clbuttic mistake.

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.

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....

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

clbottomt when the chtopt shows up [imagine this as that popular GIF meme]

Fucking Scunthorpes!

What is a 'charset' in this depraved persons mind? A corset? Must be a mighty kinky corset.

OMG this took me way too long to get. They replace the substring "ass" 😭😭

Ok, how is "charset" vulgar?

Edit: got it; arse

Luckily the feck attribute is too obscure to be in the line of fire.

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

Thank you so much I so desperately needed that chuckle right now

I have a friend that works at Salesforce, he told me that they made him change the name of some classes that used the term Blacklist because of inclusivity

Must be a TikTok influencer

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

The w*ke agenda ...

When you give the task to an intern-to-be.
