     @lain@lain.com Not relatable. I recently got asked by a client to do some maintenance and add some new features on a project that I stopped working on 2 years and I managed to pick it up like I stopped working on it yesterday.

     @lain@lain.com If I can't understand code I've written in the past it is because I have probably written it under very bad working conditions such as impossible deadlines without documentation, abiding by best practices and such. But that should be rare unless you work at a very bad company.

     @lain This is a variant on the "what if the AI becomes sentient" stupid shit. It's not producing "alien code no human can understand" or has exotic errors a human can't detect. It just doesn't.

     @lain it would be cool if it could produce genius code the same way it can produce genius chess moves but it just aint so

     @sun sure, but I don’t know how they actually train this, I.e. what format they use
