There is actually an approach for this. Leave the cursed code in, but implement it again in the same file, from scratch, without looking at the cursed code. You’ll either unthinkingly fix the combination of conditions that led to bad code being correct, or you’ll realize why that was what you needed the whole time.

The thing is, you don’t make syntax mistakes on purpose. Especially if you know a language extremely well, a syntax error will happen at random, you won’t notice it (if you did, you would have fixed it), and it therefore becomes invisible to you.

Part of your brain “knows” there’s no error, because you know the language extremely well, and because if you had made an error, you would have fixed it.

This leads to acute, irrational frustration. It’s very human.

There’s not really a solution, just smoke more weed and take your eyes off the screen occasionally.

whatever it does, it’s being run with stdin redirected from the root / directory, which can’t be opened for reading, so it’ll actually fail before the program even tries to launch.

An awful lot of people in here talking about automatic comment removal and I … don’t believe it. I think a lot of you are making up stories. Show me proof that a build script removed your comments, because it’s not just bad policy, it’s literally insane. Nobody would do that. Anyone that thought of doing that would spot the folly of doing it within 5 minutes, and immediately stop. GTFO

It would literally be better to have said nothing. This is “we’re going to rob you, plus we’re also going to use weasel words so some people will jump to our defense and some people will be fooled into letting us rob you”

Just ask for the permission and stfu. Let people decide on their own whether to get robbed without the weasel words.

lmfao “trust me bro” as terms of service

Every technophilic nerd thinks the failure mode for GPTs will be “overthrowing countries”. Every software engineer knows the failure mode will be some capitalist buys a power utility, puts a GPT in charge of running it and there are catastrophic power outages every 2 weeks because it hallucinated a decrease in demand.
