@oscarjiminy @MarkHoltom that's the debate. Either he didn't know what he was talking about and added the ein because he thought it was right when it should have been left off or he understood deeply the significance of being "one Berliner". Either way, the phrase resonated. My teacher was in the latter camp.

@vie@hachyderm.io I'm no fan. But years ago we had the whole copy-paste from Stack Overflow as the bad habit of SEs. I think of LLMs as slightly better at copy-paste. I use it in small quantities and fix what it gives me. It saves me time. And it's helpful for researching brownfield codebases. It lies, convincingly, but it gives me an attack angle. I do get unreasonably upset at people using AI to generate documentation and then just checking it in without reviewing it. That's almost worse than no docs.

@MarkHoltom my German teacher had a long discussion with us about whether the "ein" was intentional in Kennedy's speech.

One of the efficiency improvements Claude Code used recently was to execute a Perl script to change an expression pattern across multiple files. Much faster than touching each file individually.

The last time I used Perl was over 20 years ago. It's interesting to see it get a new life and in a context where it makes sense - write-only code.
