When a toxic leader has support from above, or they’ve been around a while and can survive off past successes, it’s a recipe for gas lighting and isolation for anyone who tries to counter their toxic patterns. It’s amazing how much damage this can do.

I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t know technology. I don’t know what AI is. I don’t think you get to know what AI is and also see a donkey jump off a high dive. I think it was one or the other, and I saw the donkey, so I’m out.

You should use AI while coding. You should also understand every piece of code you commit. Try to at least. Not everyone seems to agree. So here are 2 obvious signs that someone has mindlessly passed along Copilot generated python code:
- consistent, sentenced capitalized code comments
- filtered_df
- consistent, sentenced capitalized code comments

I’ve tried convincing myself for the past 2 years that pyspark doesn’t stink. But it’s the worst. I can’t wait for something better to come along.

If you’re code requires .cache() to work properly, either your code stinks or the framework you’re using stinks.

Did I call my work AI at the time? No. Am I glad it gets called out as AI now? Yes. Should people have realized the value of this work years ago. Also yes. Looking at you, people I ultimately still like but wish things could have worked out differently 👀🐅 doi.org/10.1080/1058...
