Sourcegraph went dark

Can’t wait for Steve Yegge putting out a huge article about how this is a great thing and comparing it to TV shows or something.

oh, first time I'm hearing this sentiment against Yegge. Not a specific fan of him but curious: do you have memories / link to similar BS-like statements from this person?

Just read his blog post titled "the death of junior programmer" or something like that. Be sure to not have eaten lunch prior to that; there's so much gatekeeping of the bad kind that it's quite vomit-inducing.

I’d been a huge fan of his for a solid decade, but that post was probably the last one of his I’ll ever read.

Really? I thought the content was interesting and it aligned with a lot of my thoughts. The end has a lot of practical advice- any junior who follows will probably be extremely successful. To that end, I think the title is a little clickbaity. I prefer the half glass full view - juniors have more access to rapidly learn and improve than they have ever had before. They can blow past the sea of mediocre seniors who don't bother to keep up.

The problem is that it's really hard to learn from AI. You can pay it to think for you, but that way you won't learn much.
