Example of bad c++ things I've seen recently:

  • initializing a database connection in a constructor

A REQUEST: If you own a French CD-ROM computer game called "Pop Anim'", please let me know. I could use it for some research but haven't been able to find a circulating copy yet. (It's at the BnF but I can't get there right now.)

Please teach your students not to do this.

I understand there is a continuum between spellcheck/grammar check and LLMs, and there could be ways to use LLMs to improve wording or grammar, etc.

But please teach your students not to use LLMs to draft text. I don't care if they disclose it (tbh, I prefer they don't!). I don't care if they "take responsibility for the content".

The thing about writing is that it has a social function. The social function is *not* to cause text to exist. The social function is to communicate from your mind to my mind. If you must use an LLM, skip it and just send me the prompt.

some of you MFERS will say "woof woof im a dumb stupid puppy" ​:neocat_think:

and then i GO to your PROFILE and you’re solving TECH PROBLEMS for FUN that are harder than ANY JOB i will ever HAVE
