The song was written about the public suicide of Pennsylvania state treasurer R. Budd Dwyer on January 22, 1987, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Dwyer had been convicted of bribery charges in December 1986, and was expected to receive a lengthy sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Malcolm Muir. Professing his innocence and decrying the legal system, Dwyer shot and killed himself with a .357 Magnum revolver during a live televised press conference.

Agreed. Someone said that there is never an instance where law enforcement / military has stood up to their command or leaders and done the right thing.

I believe it. ACAB, and all military is too.

I agree. My point is violence begets violence.

Imagine if we put the time/money/resources into creating a better world for all instead of killing each other.

Imagine there's no religion.

It is a great eco system with great tooling and language features.

Yea I am not saying the tools are bad. Also use Claude mostly via our internal corporate tooling to do initial generation of things like unit tests and it helps sketch and brainstorm.

I will say it is crazy the amount of trust people/companies are putting in the tools though. It can and will make up straight lies out of thin air. At least with code things don't compile which helps a bit. Even then, have been watching a few MSFT repo's and they have devs just blanket approving copilot generated PR's that have bugs and breaking changes.

The tools are great, but they aren't an excuse to be lazy. And they aren't a replacement for that last 10% like you said, still need devs and real human problem solving.

Sad about .NET (thelemmy.club)

These last ten years I was really enjoying what Microsoft and its .NET teams were doing. Felt like a good community to be a part of. Huge strides to make things run anywhere and be more involved with the open source community.

While that hasn't necessarily gone away, jamming LLM's into everything is leaving a real sour taste. Pointless copilot button anywhere and everywhere. VS and VSCode pushing the GitHub copilot chats and agents.

We are quickly back to the corporate MSFT that doesn't listen to its users or employees. All that good will has been washed away and now I feel the need to switch off of Windows.
