Even Linus is conflating "doing more" with "being more productive". A car factory could, if they wanted, pump 10x more cars out the door. But qualiry would decrease these would be full of defects, so in the end you weren't more productive

I don't care if there's more PRs. It's just and illusion of productivity

Good, someone with morals

Can we not change the name of what we do? It's not handcrafted coding, it's coding. The other variant is vibecoding.

Something I noticed for the past year are topics following the format: "Now that AI has replaced X skill ... and Y ... what is your opinion". Or "I've been doing all my programming with AI and it works perfectly, and is stressing me out. What is your opinion"

I did some digging and almost all those accounts are from a certain country or two famous for hosting clickfarms some years ago. So.. I guess AI companies are following the same strategy

Lex Fridman, The Primeagen and friends are also to blame

The tech world is already filled with fascists, let's not allow one more to crawl in. Don't use tools from that human shaped turd

I think you entirelly missed the point then

And is being promoted by other fascists - Lex Fridman - and youtube sloppers like Primeagen. All channels highly consumed by non-techs or techs that follow the hype

With horse power and cargo capacity an airplane has I really doubt it

My previous work enforced the use of AI for everything besides wipping your own butt. I was a senior dev and adamantly refused to use it for ethical reasons.

Not once have I touched it, not once I felt I needed it. I said as much whenever I had meetings with eng. managers and I could provably argue that I was doing very fine without it, I was in fact as much or more productive than my AI addled colleagues and furthermore I found many severe bugs in their PRs. I saw the code quality and stability of my project take a deep plunge because of Claude. They said it was company policy to use.. but because it was not on my contract and I was not falling behind on any of my responsibilities I answered I would rather be fired than to use AI. I never was. I kept at this for a year, and finally changed to somewhere where my judgement on when and where to use these things is more important than KPIs.

It's not that I didn't see a use case for AI - I saw very minor use cases for dashboards and quick insight into logs - but as much as I can I don't allow managers and KPIs to have this much control over how I work and which tools I use.

That's a false equivalence. And besides they polute on massivelly different scales

Most of these robots are purposely slowed down for human safety and other factors. So I do believe you can speed up a factory a lot, perhaps not10x, but still.

Then you clearly have no idea what a false equivalence is

But why you dont believe it? OP gave a detailed rebukal of your initial post, and then your answer is "I just don't believe, just accept that ..."

"I love Claude" is.. something. Are you ok buddy?

Yes and hopefullybreduce pollution and noise levels around airports

There's a whole world of use cases between no electric and full electric. Take off and landing is one of the profiles where electrification might be useful, if not for efficiency then for reducing noise and pollution levels around airports.

I've used Arch for more than 12 years, never once has it broken down

Dont feed the troll. Read their post history and you'll see they are either trolling or very delusional.

What does that even mean?
