Listen to the corporate centrists. They do not care about people. Their only priority is protecting the capitalist machine that feeds them.
They’ll sacrifice anyone, normalize fascism, do anything if it means the checks keep coming in.

Edge of Tomorrow is a fantastic title for this movie and I'll die on that hill.
By the way, Edge of Tomorrow is definitely the best sci-fi movie — one of the best movies of any genre — that still too many people don’t know about. Suffered from the start from a bad title, but it’s absolutely fantastic. I’ve watched it SO many times.

Assuming the Steam Controller's ergonomics are solid, I may just ditch all my XBox controllers and just go whole hog on Steam hardware 🤔

Trying to measure coding productivity is, and always will be, a fool's errand.
Why? Because I can go for a walk then take a shower and have an idea, then write a single line of code that fixes everything I was working on.
Immense productivity, but by most metrics I didn't do anything at all.

At least my shitty code is my own. I'll own it. I'll stand by it, and I'll ultimately improve it.
But it will be mine. And you know that reading a PR from me means that I'm responsible for creating every line of change, using my own reasoning, skills, and intellect.
For whatever that's worth.

AI PRs where the author doesn't have an understanding of the system shift the burden of understanding onto the reviewer.
So now it's on the reviewer to gain an understanding of this area to either confirm or refute. The author saved time at the expense of the reviewer.

I don't know about others but it is wild to me to be willingly giving this up as an engineer.
I'd rather painstakingly hunt-and-peck every character into the IDE than "save time" and lose my credibility attached to my name.

This. If I detect AI involvement in your PR, it immediately lowers my evaluation of your competency level. It's just what happens.
And that burden is not something I'm going to bear. You've now ruined any implicit trust I had in your abilities.

so now when they say "I vibed it" there's basically no longer an implicit seal of quality backing it up. You can no longer say "oh, this is Bob, he knows what he's doing"

I'm so sick of hearing about "AI" when it's nothing close to actual intelligence. Words should mean something, damnit.

Fuck unity. You don't get to pull all this shit for a *decade* and then just say "we should all work together". Hell naw. Get outta here with that abusive-ass shit.
Make amends, do better, show real change and progress.

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

I cannot search three words in quotes.
Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests.
And now we have this.

Absolutely ask what your country can do for you. The whole god damn point of a country is to provide security and stability for its citizens.
