  He's a disgrace to programmers too. Like, the fuck you mean programming is hard? Of course it is! That's the whole fucking job! You get good at it, you learn from your mistakes, and you pass your knowledge on to the next generation.

  AI isn't just about eliminating service jobs and low-level positions, it's also about turning senior developers into lazy bums who let their skills atrophy, so they can be devalued, laid off, and paid less at the next place. I even see it at my workplace, people I once respected who now answer every question with "I don't know, I don't remember, have you asked Claude?" No motherfucker, I'm asking YOU.

    i see it as mostly trying to rebalance and lower wages. a lot of places are demanding more productivity which doesn’t really exist if you want something stable. where i work work life balance was the selling point for the job, now they demand more more more and in office. though i don’t think they realize the ones they’re calling unproductive are the only ones holding back the flood gate of bugs.

    enjoy your services you like and find alternatives if you can. soon all the companies who buy into it are going to have similar uptime as github.
