😂 has this fella seen academia in movies only? ever written anything longer than a tweet?
I’m not an academic writer, but don’t you need time to like…research?
I know right?

Yeah, that checks out. This person would be gushing over ChatGPT instead, if it had already been released at that point. Because clearly, more words = more better. Doesn’t matter, that no one wants to read your 120 articles which all say the same, because you haven’t done any research in between.
But if I say it enough times it becomes true. If I make enough studies claiming it, then do a meta analysis of those studies, it becomes an accepted fact. (Ah academia)…
If you don’t have a serious reason for writing something, I don’t have a serious reason for reading it.
If I wanted unintelligent brabbel that doesn’t get to the point, I’d use ChatGPT
Yes, because the hard thing about writing papers is the actual writing.
Jokes aside, of course I can just write whatever, but if I don’t have any actual research to write about, all of those 4000 words I write a day are just filler that will get deleted after someone remotely intelligent reviews it.
Academia is not fun 😂
Well you say that, but I’ve had legit discussions with coders that use things like Dvorak because it allows them to type faster and thus code faster. I pointed out the actual typing of the code is the easy part and only a very small part of the bigger task. This one coder that swore by Dvorak had an impressive typing speed for sure, but also a reputation he could never push his commits because the linter kept spotting typos. And even then wouldn’t get through testing because not all typos are caught by the linter. Of course he was the kind of developer that wrote 3000 lines of code before ever committing anything and testing for himself was beneath him, that was a job for the testers. Once he had lost a couple of days of work because he didn’t commit/push and when he booted his machine somehow his files got corrupted and all was lost. After that he was in trouble for the nteenth time and was let go, shame because I liked the guy.
Using alternative layouts to prevent rsi I’m all for, but optimizing typing speed seems like not the way to go. I’m old and learned to type on a typewriter and later horrible 80s keyboards (although some were nice as well), so I don’t care, as long as it has keys I’m OK to go.
Yeah, I can understand that someone who’s into coding would also be nerdy enough to separately care about keyboard layouts, but truly, I would hardly benefit from faster typing speed, because my brain’s constantly rattling while I do that. If I finish typing early, I still won’t have finished thinking. And for the rare times, where there’s no thinking involved, chances are that you can copy-paste 90% of it and then have to edit select places. So, not really hugely beneficial to type faster either.
That’s sad.
If the negative for more speed is errors, then you’re not faster.
Dvorak is kinda trash as an alternative layout anyway, there are way better modern layouts that are excellent for comfort
There’s a really annoying subgroup of developers who are convinced that typing itself magically produces good code and the only bottleneck in their productivity is how fast they can smash keys.
These are the ones who are hellbent on not using anything graphical, a mouse or any tool they deem too advanced.
It’s super annoying, especially since they often spend more time “optimizing” their setup than actually working, and even more time talking about how efficient they are.
The complexity is not in the “writing words”, it’s in knowing which words to write.
PUBLISH OR PERISH
GET CITED OR GET UNINVITED
Think tanks go brrrr
And people wonder why journals get polluted with ChatGPT filler.
This is related to research in the similar field because of bullshit. Our work expands on the bullshit by bullshitting even more. It’s actually all inconsequential but we cited these guys and who gives a fuck.
It’s sad that kids today don’t know Tim Gill
