except using your metaphor, everyone using the hammer has the same problems, and it is using said hammer as advertised, regardless of what we all know should be best practices
there have been multiple big fuck ups now and i think the reason why matters less than the fact the cause will not improve any time soon
everyone using ai says some variation of this
acting like they do proper code review on this ai gen code but we’ve had so many examples of how people well before ai carried massive tech debt and cut corners so I have zero faith
much less the numerous examples of slop laden bugs making it to live with major companies in the us
ai just amplifies and obfuscates the problem
we knew the microslop update to win 11 was going to be shite
it got offshored a decade ago though
he was better of quitting and getting a new job the moment the update failed
when has it ever helped safety?
i imagine you being this obtuse is a byproduct of being so far up your own ass
as to why take a no interest loan when i can buy outright, look up time value money
the research i did for both the current model and few years back showed i paid below market average
but yea i am sure you know better with zero specific details
hell credit arbitrage alone would be like 15k and that’s really conservative
yea i’ma gonna take my actual research over some vague logic and feels even if i agree in principle, vaguely hand waving about bad deals while eating interest for the same otherwise price is lol
yea truth, i am not trusting of american car quality
where is this world of perfect information you have about car prices?
far as i know i paid under regional prices on the average before even the no interest
but if you have a source i’ll take it
if you’re having to get another mechanic to look at it, i’d probably not come back
already said fuck you to honda ever again for this kinda behavior
it can be as simple as selling at cost / relatively small loss keeping you in an ecosystem for future knock on profits
not as common in cars but plenty of examples in retail
they’re definitely making less margin and there are plenty of loss lead situations or outside pressures in the short term
you can see what the car was selling for prior months so I’m not sure how much you think it could be increased without it being obvious? (steam sales come to mind)
better argument would be how much they think they’d lose not selling current inventory and what you could potentially haggle the price down to vs you don’t for this deal but that’s insider info I would not have
and I did haggle that some as well anyway
beyond that, if i was that price sensitive, i would not be buying new
but i’ve seen so many people chase a better deal into future problems
who said the car was free?
you’re just not paying interest
0 percent interest auto loans are a thing
what bullshit
why do i care if the extreme option is taken against oil companies
depends
exhibit A: rfk jr
preparation and luck or nepotism
is the joke horror or swinger?
imagine instead of ai it was your compiler
we all know they can have weird quirks but imagine the fail rates were like we are experiencing with current ai
would people keep these tools in their work flow?
if big business wasn’t so hard on to cut labor the answer would be a hard no
