    • Importance of personal responsibility and transparency
    • Definition of AI Lazyslop
    • Anti-AI Lazyslop manifesto
    Quality:
    The article presents an opinion on AI-generated code, emphasizing personal responsibility and transparency.

    Discussion (27): 6 min

    The comment thread discusses issues related to inefficient and large pull request (PR) code review processes in software development, the potential role of AI in assisting these processes, and the responsibility and accountability dynamics between managers and developers. There is a general agreement on the need for improvement but differing opinions on how best to address the challenges.

    • AI can assist in the code review process, but it doesn't solve all problems
    • Managers often blame developers for issues caused by poor management policies
    Counterarguments:
    • Inefficient code review process is due to managers asking for reviews on large PRs
    • AI can be used as a tool, but it doesn't change the fundamental issue of inefficient code review processes
    • Managers should take responsibility for creating an environment that encourages developers to produce quality work

    Discussion (65): 14 min

    The discussion revolves around the invention of television, comparing John Logie Baird and Philo Farnsworth, and delving into various aspects such as technology evolution, frame rate standards, color television, and media consumption. The conversation also touches on Neil Postman's theory about media and its relevance in modern times.

    • John Logie Baird was the first to demonstrate something that looked like TV, but his technology was a dead end.
    • Philo Farnsworth demonstrated a competing technology and invented the cathode ray tube.
    Counterarguments:
    • The NTSC system dropped the frame rate to 30000/1001fps due to adding color while maintaining backward compatibility.
    • America chose the NTSC system, which resulted in a non-integer frame rate of 29.97fps.
