Been There Done That

Someone clearly had a stroke while typing "Minerals" and just committed it anyway. The best part? It's in a Cost struct right next to the correctly spelled "Minerals" field. So now we've got both minerals AND maxerals in our economy system, because apparently one wasn't enough. Either this is the most creative typo that made it past code review, or there's a parallel universe where maxerals are a legitimate resource type. My money's on the developer being three energy drinks deep at 2 AM and the reviewer just clicking "Approve" without reading.

Remember when you had to actually talk to people on StackOverflow? Like, expose your ignorance publicly, wait for someone to tell you to "just Google it," and then get your question marked as duplicate of something from 2009 that doesn't even apply anymore? Now we just paste our broken code into ChatGPT and pretend we wrote the solution ourselves. Progress, baby. The humiliation is now private and between you and an AI that doesn't judge... or does it? Grandpa dev here is telling the younglings about the dark ages when you'd spend 3 hours crafting the perfect question, formatting your code snippets, providing context, only to get roasted for not reading the documentation. Those were character-building times. Terrible, soul-crushing, character-building times.

So someone just announced NERD, a programming language where humans don't write code—they just "observe" it. The workflow? Skim the AI-generated code, run tests, and ship. No actual reading required. Because who needs to understand what they're deploying to production, right? The post casually mentions that 40% of their code is now machine-written, and they spent the year reviewing PRs authored by Claude faster than they could type requirements. The punchline? They weren't really reading it. Just vibing with the vibes and hitting merge. NERD supposedly compiles to native and uses 50-70% fewer tokens, which sounds impressive until you realize the entire premise is "let AI write everything and hope for the best." It's like code review speedrunning—any% glitchless, no comprehension required. The real kicker is calling it "the last missing piece in the AI puzzle." Because nothing says "puzzle complete" like removing human understanding from software development entirely. What could possibly go wrong? 🚀
