Said time is, of course, the week of Black Friday — about which I have some Big Feelings: wil.to/newsletters/...
So, if you’re in a position where you’re able to do so, help me make sure JavaScript for Everyone lives up to its name by paying a little more for it.
Hear me out:

Because it’s harder to catch defects in code you didn’t write, the only realistic way of ensuring that you really do “go faster” is to let more defects through, unintentionally or no.
So, effectively “LLMs for coding” are largely a cover story for improving throughput by relaxing quality standards

A cleaned-up and expanded version of this thesis, in case you need to convince some AI-pilled manager that you can't just take these things at face value.
If you wanted to refer to this rant in a professional context, a cleaned up version is now up!
The design of LLM chatbots doesn't only make hallucination inevitable - it makes the user less likely to spot errors and react to them. The path of least resistance is drawn thru thoughtless copy-pasting.
