Wow folks really aren’t getting that your perfectly idiomatic, well formatted, agonized over code isn’t needed any more.

People care if their software works. They don’t care how beautiful the code is.

AI can churn out 25 drafts faster than 99% of devs can get their boilerplate setup for the first time.

The new skill is fitting all that output into deployable code, which if you are experienced in shipping software is not hard to get the model to do.

what is profoundly stuck, and what are the assumptions?

That your brain training on all the inputs it sees and creating output is fundamentally more legitimate than a computer doing the same thing.

> is it about doing, or is it about getting things done?

No, this is a false dichotomy and slippery slope dangerous thinking.

It’s about building a world where we can all live in and find meaning, joy, dignity, and fulfillment, which requires a balance between pursuing the ends and preserving the means as worthwhile human pursuits.

If I am eating a delicious meal but the people preparing it had a miserable time, or it was prepared entirely by robots controlled by nefarious people using the profits to harm society, I don’t want it.

Human society and civilization is for the benefit of humans, not for filling checkboxes above all else.

Yet you use your toilet. Do you think the sewer workers love their job?

There's always chances with everything in life.

Perhaps teach/practice with your kids to be less clumsy - that will pay a lot more dividends than just using pods.

Having the cleanest dishes is not always the optimization one is looking for.

I like pods because there is less of a chance my clumsy self, or younger kids can accidentally spill costly soap for my dog to try to lick up or overfill the dispenser. My dishes are almost never caked in fats and oils when I put them in. I do not use a pre-wash. If I do I break a pod in half and toss in the bottom.

This guy makes me roll my eyes. There is nothing more exhausting than a self-assured YouTuber lecturing others as if he has all the right answers. He is not wrong per se but not everyone has their own preferences and needs.
