And then the replies to the reporter are also AI-generated!
That was the best part, it was like no humans were in the building for a bit there.
There was a human reply at the end:
I’ve just taken all the pkg pages down. pkgx is about running pkgs, we put up the pkg pages as a bonus for our users to help them. We chose AI generation to give us more time to work on the tool because that’s what we care about.
They don’t matter to our mission and honestly we’re a little confused about this reaction. We respect your opinions and are sorry we upset so many by using AI.
Can’t say I hugely love that reaction from the dev
There’s so much pkg that all I could thinkg about in those first 2 sentences was the old “Yo dawg, i heard you like” meme
Github is going to hell lol
The dosubot also downvoted its own first post in that thread lmao
I assume that’s so others can more easily downvote it. This was common on discord bots too, it’s just an easy select menu.
The replies are AI generated too lmao 💀💀
If anyone hasn’t made the connection, mxcl is the infamous Google interview binary tree guy
What happened there?
He had an interview with Google and they asked him to invert a binary tree, which is essentially taking a tree of data and swapping the positions of all sibling nodes.
While most people agreed it was a pretty pointless question to ask at an interview, mxcl had a full “don’t you know who I am” shit fit on social media.
Maybe this? https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-logic-behind-Google-rejecting-Max-Howell-the-author-of-Homebrew-for-not-being-able-to-invert-a-binary-tree (his own version of what happened)

What’s DSA ?

Thanks for the advice. I was already pretty sure that learning DSA would take my programing to the next level, my previous algorithms have been thoughtful but could definitely be improved.
I’ve done some haskell for school, I must say the quick sort was quite impressive and the language itself was interesting. Lisp on the other hand seems really crazy ; I’ve done some for my emacs config but the things I’m reading from the sources are from another world, I’ll read the elisp introduction some day and maybe I’ll become one of those magicians lol
I don’t really use AI but I could ask for some advice on my next school project I guess. Do you ask it for straight up code or a more global archetecture ?

“They don’t matter to our mission and honestly we’re a little confused about this reaction.”
How? How are you confused? You have been misrepresenting peoples project. It’s mind boggling. I’m more than a little confused about your confusion.
run anything—from the creator of brew.
brew is homebrew, right?
I didn’t like how homebrew was managed, and apparently they are going down fast.
It’s better now. No more bottles and kegs. This time it’s barrels, vintages and terroirs.
Terrors, what an appropriate term! /s
