@forrestbrazeal This reminds me a lot of @tom7's epic shaggy dog, "Harder Drive"

@forrestbrazeal the good thing about SQL is that you can inject it into pretty much any technology conversation.

@forrestbrazeal Gen AI's business model is replacing CEOs. 🤓

@forrestbrazeal ah yes, Senior Query Language, for constructing questions that will elicit the correct answer from greybeards without setting them off on one of their little rants.

@forrestbrazeal Wait a minute! Does that mean that JavaScript and Python developers are demi-gods or something as they have no need for semicolons? :blobfoxcrylaugh:

@xgebi @forrestbrazeal the python senior devs don't need semicolons, unfortunately all the python senior devs in the world have been holed up in a conference room since last September trying to figure out why something called "Poetry" is printing a error message

If a JavaScript dev thinks JS doesn't require semicolons, they're probably not a senior dev! The real senior devs have all encountered situations where lack of semicolon can cause bugs due to ambiguity in the ECMA grammar

@mcc good thing I'm not JS dev and can rely on automatic semicolon insertion when I forget one, almost every other language including CSS doesn't work properly when it's not there @forrestbrazeal

@forrestbrazeal @inthehands A lot of senior software engineers are “massively overhyped.” I’d be inclined to switch “massively overhyped” with “technically just a slow database”, but I guess that would make it mean instead of funny.

ID: A venn diagram between "blockchain", "generative AI" and "senior developer"

BC - Still searching for a use case
AI - Still searching for a business model
SD - still searching for a semicolon

BC+AI - Massively over-hyped
AI+SD - writes buggy cod
BC+SD - falsely believes logic can solve human disputes

All together - Technically just a slow database.

@forrestbrazeal I can't believe I just got called "Technically just a slow database" and I can't even dispute it.

Senior software engineer:

❌ “Just a slow database”
✅ Has decades of institutional memory

@forrestbrazeal I'm in this picture, I don't like it, and I'm absolutely certain I can convince you that I shouldn't be in this picture if I can just get you to listen to logic.

A Venn diagram with three partly overlapping circles.

In the non-overlapping part:

1: Blockchain: still searching for a use case

2: "Gen AI": Still searching for a business model

3: Senior Developer: still seraching for a semicolon

Intersection of 2 circles:

Blockchain & AI: massively overhyped

Blockchain & Dev: Falsely believes, logic can solve human disputes

AI & Dev: writes buggy code

Intersection of all 3:

Technically just a slow database

@forrestbrazeal I'm struggling to argue with this 😬
