Not me. I don’t use it because it’s (mostly) immoral. Sure, it feels like a thorn in the side, a parasite oozing through the walls, but I still enjoy coding.
I also have good reason to believe that nothing resembling modern technology will understand what it’s doing, so we always have that most important edge.
Sure, maybe it’s fantastic at reviewing PRs. I could imagine that. But
Trust me, you want this.
is pretty condescending, implying those against it haven’t thought it through. I personally could list about twenty reasons for not using AI, many of them infinitely more important than code being well reviewed.

According to that, actions is down ~1 working day/month. That’s sooooooooooo bad.
I thought big tech wanted us to move away from personal devices into the cloud. This isn’t the way to do it.

I did suspect as much, but if you’re going to put something in the title, perhaps don’t use limited definitions?
This is not a good article
A lot of people seem to be realizing that knowledge work is mostly pointless
From wikipedia
Examples of such professionals include ICT professionals, physicians, pharmacists, architects, engineers, mathematicians, scientists, designers, public accountants, lawyers, librarians, archivists, editors, and academics
Are they genuinely claiming all most of this work is pointless?
The article continues
What’s different about this moment is that the questions are not just economic but existential, the kind of questions that cause high-earning technical professionals to contemplate throwing it all away to start a goat farm in Washington or become a surf instructor in Costa Rica.
I’m sure I’d seen memes about software engineers wanting become woodworkers before the AI deluge.
The writing continues with needlessly crass language. I stopped reading.
If you want to go utterly mad, you can use rngit https://reticulum.miraheze.org/wiki/Rngit and broadcast your git server using your own hardware over an entirely different “internet”. Then if the actual internet goes down, people can still send git patches
codeberg’s fine, but it’s not decentralized. It’s a single org running a forgejo instance somewhere in europe. It also banned AI generated code and crypto projects. If you’re not doing either of those, codeberg is possibly the easiest way to get off github.
If you really want decentralized, you can look at radicle. Or you can self-host but that would be unwise if you’re new to it all.

I’m not aware of any underhand contributions. What might you be referring to?
I strongly believe it’s perfectly reasonable to compliment a generally evil person/people when they do a good thing, but hey, my opinions are boring.
Do you consider a post supporting a Trump policy to be as bad as being the largest donor to a far-right party?
what exactly is the rush?

One might even consider flourishing employees as opposed to not-burned-out ones.

lol, I read this as a psuedonym for open source developers under the deluge of AI pull requests
What did you read of the article? Of course programming can be hard. Some of the brightest engineers and academics in the world have spent years on problems.
Hmmm, you might be right. It’s definitely a build system. I’m trying to think if it’s a package manager, and if it’s not, what is playing the role of the package manager.
EDIT seems to be both, which admittedly makes my point less relevant.
