"Paid collaboration" my ass. More like, let me pay you a pittance and sell your knowledge for 100x.

A LinkedIn message saying "Hello Brian. This is a paid collaboration. We acquire private, non-open-source legacy code repositories with full commit history and PRs from running or closed projects for AI development. NDA & compliance ensured."

Let's not forget that there are managers who think "lines of code" is an appropriate metric for good software. Code quality is not a concern for them.

    The moment Musk said that my jaw dropped. I didn't follow the guy, knew he wasn't the genius he said he was, but that drove the final nail in my opinion. Fuck me, I can carely "code" PowerShell, but I know the goal is short, easy to read, elegant code. We're I working at Twitter at the time,

    # This code creates the log file

    # We're not going to check if it exists

    # because we want to start with a fresh log each time this runs

    # so we'll overwrite the old log, if there was one

    # because we don't care in this case

    $LOG_FILE = "C:\Scripts\Logs\Archive-Documents.log"

    # Now we have a log file.

    BAM! 9 lines from 1! I'm awesome!
