as much as I hate the industry surrounding it, I cannot imagine hating my own craft so much that I’d ever reduce it to this

it feels unfair that I know so many people who agonize over beautiful code and suffer from imposter syndrome but this little fucker from nvidia can argue against the existence of beauty in what we do because capital demands it and his disdain for what he does reinforces it

code is art, and LLM code is ugly, regardless of what capital wants https://nondeterministic.computer/@mjg59/116424732252818630

like, it’s actively depressing to me that there are people who program who have never looked at code and found it aesthetically pleasing

we really shouldn’t let anyone like that dictate what code is, because it’s clear they don’t understand. I don’t let a finance bro choose what I read (they’d tell me to ingest some airport lounge cult self-help nonsense) or what art hangs on my walls (“I don’t know, what’s expensive?”), why would I let the computer equivalent tell me about beautiful code?
