@davatron5000 interesting take. To mandate a developer tool sounds like overreach to me. If it’s useful it will naturally find its place. Also, my biggest issue is people thinking reading code is the same as building it. It’s an illusion of competency in my opinion. If you stop writing code yourself for years then how can you truly understand it. It’s like reading the theory of guitar, not practicing for years, and expecting to play like an expert. AI is super useful, the hype is exhausting.

@sophie This article is on point, the hype is fatiguing, and damaging to the software dev trade. I’m glad their are some grounded devs out there that understand the limitations. On the other side big tech try to choke it down our throats. It annoys me that everyone has to keep prefacing that they aren’t anti AI or progress, I think your article made it clear even without that addition. Not sure if that addition is to avoid haters, but your article was top notch. Thanks Sophie.

@davatron5000 hi dave, great post mate, you’ve been part of my rss feed uprising against ai slop world. Thanks for staying human (weird I even need to say that). I was wondering, what is the general vibe at big tech on using AI? People are saying they are mandated to use a certain token quota, etc. However, from your post it seems you have a normal-person-non-hype-bs attitude to AI (refreshing of course).
