Assuming the person is serious and not writing this tongue in cheek...

I find it humorous is that all it takes for OP to think the response was written by a human is that it says it was written by a human.

Both responses could have been from AI. Or none. Or just one. Just look at the comments on this thread, nobody can agree. And in the end, it's simply unfalsifiable.

Why even waste time playing this game?

All that matters is the result: was the complaint addressed in the end?

I don't understand these weird hills that people want to die on.

Yeah... no. I don't think there is a best programming language, but I do think dynamically typed languages are worse for AI to code in compared to statically typed ones.

What do you mean?

C is unsafe 100% of the time. Rust is only unsafe in unsafe{} blocks.

> You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

That's demonstrably not true, people deconvert from religion and other irrational beliefs all the time.

> We tend not to use ORMs, because they're evil.

This is typical Go culture. If it is not readily available in the language or the standard library, it's evil. It's an easy cop out to explain away the gaps in the ecosystem.

Not long ago, the Go team was saying that generics are evil for that very same reason.

Nonsense, Rust has plenty of native libraries for HTTP and JSON.

Whenever I hear "It's never too late to do X", I can't help but think "Well in this case, there is no harm in waiting a bit longer, is there?".

XCode has been trying to unleash agentic power for a while now, it's almost like it doesn't want to leave its cage.

Not mentioning the fact that Swift is nonexistent outside of the Apple ecosystem, and worse, Apple is explicitly not supporting it outside of the Apple operating systems.

Show, don't tell.

If you need ten pages to explain your project and even after I read your description, I'm still left confused why I need it at all, then maybe... I don't need it?

I mean, Gas Town is 100% vibe coded, and its very own author says AI can't be trusted to write reliable code.

Draw your own conclusion.

Switch to Android and you should be safe.

> It is not possible to say which exceptions are possible

So repeating the same mistake that Spring made by using runtime exceptions everywhere.

Now you can never know how exactly a function can fail, which means you are flying completely blind.

I think OP was just making a comment on the asymmetry of the syntax. Brackets [] are usually used to dereference.

Why is this written

    lea eax, [rdi + rsi]
instead of just

    lea eax, rdi + rsi

?
