It looks like you're getting ready to cook meth. Do you want some help, for a 30% cut of the action?
I really need the work, TBH.

NEW BLOG POST: Quick and dirty "progress update" on my Clippy optimization efforts, today: Parallelizing lints.
https://blog.goose.love/posts/parallel-lints
As you probably know, I've been dedicating myself to optimizing Clippy and the overall linting system in the Rust compiler for some time now, I am even the "owner" of a Project Goal about it. This post talks about my current progress with a tricky aspect of my latest endeavor, parallelizing the lint system. (Which I'm not done, yet)
Python's built-in help() function: It's like the #Clippy of #programming languages, ready to offer "helpful" advice that you didn't ask for.
If you're ever lost in the labyrinth of Python's #documentation and want to feel even more confused, just type help()!

Microsoft is supposedly scheming to ditch #OpenAI and go solo —because who needs AI when you've got #Clippy ready to make a comeback, right?
It's like watching someone plan to become a gourmet chef but still struggle with instant noodles.

@argv_minus_one I'd like to remind that traditional #C or #C++ compilers produce low amount of important warning if run without `-Wall`; for ages people didn't care as long as soft worked. Today running compiler w/o `-Wall` is shooting in the knee.
#Rust from start took opposite approach, it's very verbose about plenty of potential problems. But balance is required how heavy the process can be. #Clippy does extra processing of the code to point at potential issues or enforce extra project rules
Mit Faktenprüfung und Basiswissen hapert es ja mittlerweile beachtlich. Ich dachte, ich hole Clippy nochmal aus dem Archiv.

What's this CoPilot thing I keep hearing about? Do you mean Clippy 2.0?
Call it CoClippy or ClippyPilot.
The internet is going backwards.
Doing a web search in 2025 is a nightmare: even if you tell Google/DuckDuckGo to disable AI summaries, most of the top results you get are clearly AI-generated word salads. More than in the past, I am finding myself keeping a curated list of trusted sources, wikis, personal homepages, blogs, microblogs, to fetch information from, rather than relying on search engines. People increasingly host their own stuff, because it has become easier, and digital self sovereignty is being finally seen as something valuable. Archivists scramble to hoard data that might soon disappear. Fediverse means going back from web 2.0 to email, and frankly it's great. Well, we're still being shoved in our throats modern versions of Clippy, but I guess no pain no gain.
Now please bring back BBSs and 56k modems, and the cycle will be complete. I dream of a next era of steampunk utopia where "key exchange" has a very metallic meaning, and steam computers can factorize more than 15.
