I’m not so much worried about the functionality of the code, but rather the maintainability. A lot of code was written, by a person long ago, copied together from forums online refactored by people, who didn’t understand it, but at least at some point someone understood it good enough to create it.
I find the idea worrisome, that we will deal with code no one ever understood, it’s just kind of there and seems to do what we want, and now you have to change it.

What are stashes of lead? Have read that here before.

That could work, but why would anyone do that?

For me the other scary thing is the loss of control. We are already drowning in code everyone needs and noone understands and now we build systems, who can produce mountains of that.

But then again you could use it to explain code. We will so quickly become dependent on it.

I thought so. So you had a three tier stash hierarchy? That’s kinda involved. The Big Stash™ sounds legendary.
Hope you are doing better now? Addiction is awful. Wish you the best.

But now they wont join the federation :(

That is certainly true. It just sucks, that so many people are scrambling for jobs and rich people get richer. There has to be a better way.

I suppose that would better be left to pros not hobbyists.

That makes more sense I suppose. Even if something just looks or smells illegal, it can still cause trouble.

I mean at the airport the dog identifies you suitcase and the officers then search the suitcase. Not sure how you could trick the dogs then.
I suppose you could do it at your home, but that’s not useful either for the same reasons.

Was it because hiding it at home was more risky with parents?
Maybe it’s also an all eggs in one basket kinda thing. What if one stash is found or damaged, better to have backup.
Or one could use it for dealing. I would imagine selling stuff to addicts, is kinda dangerous. What if they have no more money, but they know you have stuff in your pocket. Kinda scary. So what if you hide it, they give you the money and you give them a description where it is hidden. Sounds safer. Yes easier to scam, but a lot is about trust.
I could imagine if someone is addicted, hiding a stash somewhere outside could keep one from eating through their entire stash when they get greedy.
I’m kinda interested in how such things work.
Can you explain how a public stash worked. Is it just a zip bag lightly buried? Or stuffed in some walls crack?

Just type in the 7500 cheatcode and you can take shortcuts through military airspace.

But I mean many people have already lost their job because AI automated it away.

Is it an urban legend, that people have hidden stashes in public?

Someone still has to write the instructions. AI might not become a replacement for the engineer, but a more powerful compiler, that is still fed with code written by engineers.

We are all time travelers

What do you think of my business idea of dogtoys that smell like illegal stuff, so you can train your dog to sniff out things. You have a ball and it smells like cocaine (there is no cocain in there), but you can hide it and train your dog now to sniff out cocaine, just for the fun of it. And there is one, that smells like explosives, one for marijuana, one for meth and so on.

I like my job

Only for advanced pros

Kinda sad for the people, who were excited :o
