I find the generation gap in AI chatbot usage fascinating. Millennials tend to treat them as a better Google with some disliking the tech due to hallucinations.
Gen Z and younger often treat them as a partner which they pour their hopes and dreams into.

Current code review tools just don’t make much sense for AI-generated code
When reviewing code I really want to know:
- The prompt made by the dev
- What corrections the other dev made to the code
- Clear marking of code AI-generated not changed by a human

Vibe coding is boring
Vibe coding gets the job done, but there's no thrill in the build.

The alien space probe entered Earth's orbit and sent a brief radio signal.
An international team was set up. Analysis of the probe revealed it likely was 65 million years old, and originated in the Solar system.
There was a sticker on it, half as old. At last, it was decoded:
"Return to sender."

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Being a true tech professional means you keep your toolset sharp, and up-to-date. If you refuse to do so, you are probably not a true professional, but (cont'd)
