mkoryak··on The era of American computer magazines has drawn to a close
I have a box of commodore magazines from ~1985 that I'm hanging on to because throwing them out seems wrong.

No don't do this.

Once I asked chatgpt to make some obfuscated+minified js readable for me. It did. I was blown away by how well it chose the variable names.

I started looking at this code to find the prod bug, but I found other bugs that I wasn't expecting...

I took a closer look and realized that the code it made was almost right, but also 5% wrong.

I wouldn't have noticed the incorrectness if I wasn't debugging for several hours before and had some general idea of what the pretty printed code did and did not do.

Not for gaming, if that makes any difference.
