  • You’re lucky it hasn’t happened to you. Yet. I never was a “I’ll never use AI you fucks” type person, more of a “AI written code is not trustworthy by default and should be subject to human review, especially if it touches critical systems, to ensure it’s secure and won’t just blindly wipe out production” type. Even that didn’t agree with their stance.

    My former boss literally said to me “AI is so advanced that you do not need to see the code to write it anymore”. That is not true, willfully ignorant, and the equivalent of slamming on the gas on the freeway and closing your eyes. Fuck anyone who believes that.


  • Run. Run while you still can.

    I recently lost my job because I didn’t want to use AI to write 50-100% of my code as my boss requested.

    I technically can’t say I lost my job because of AI as they told me they were laying me off due to restructuring, but a week after I was laid off they were hiring for my exact same skillset with a different title and the caveat that the applicant must use AI to write code. So you do the math.












  • By using an older piece of tech that does one thing, you make doing that thing an activity again. As in, it’s a conscious involvement to do that thing now, it’s not just an app or a side feature of some other device.

    For instance, I got an iPod Nano a little while ago and just loaded it with the few hundred songs I care to listen to. I use a fraction of the space of the thing if I care to add more music, but now when I want to listen to music I have to use a specific device to do so. It makes it more of a conscious decision to listen to music and, to me, makes me enjoy it more.
