But no one is forcing you to use this software?
If you want to keep your job you absolutely need to use these tools.

I agree!. One criticism I've heard is that half my colleagues don't write their own words anymore. They use ChatGPT to do it for them. Does this mean we've "lost" something? On the contrary! Those people probably would have spoken far fewer words into existence in the pre-AI era. But AI has enabled them to put pages and pages of text out into the world each week: posts and articles where there were previously none. How can anyone say that's something we've lost? That's something we've gained!
It's not only the golden era of code. It's the golden era of content.

Are you for real? Quantity is not equal to Quality.
I'll be sure to dump a pile of trash in your living room. There wasn't much there before, but now there is lots of stuff. Better right?

I like good code because it makes me not get pinged at 2AM when things fall over.
Right. Honestly if we just put managers in the on call rotation code quality would go up real quick.

Just because you or I may invest effort into deep-thinking, it does not mean that others will.
I'm not worried about this at Modal, but I am worried about this in the greater OSS community. How can I reasonably trust that the tools I'm using are built in a sound manner, when the barrier to producing good-looking bad code is so low
We’re already there. Seeing OpenClaw and the new thing LocalGPT on the front page. It’s clear these projects are pretty heavily vibe coded and I have no trust that they are tested, secure or even work as advertised. It’s going to suck when all projects become that. When you can’t trust that a library works as advertised.

Post had nothing to do with Haskell so the title is a bit misleading. But rest of article is good, and I actually think that Agentic/AI coding will probably evolve in this way.
The current tools are the infancy of AI assisted coding. It’s like the MS-DOS era. Over time maybe the backpropagating from “your comfort language” to “target language” could become commonplace.
I was excited to see a non-AI article on this site for once. Oh well.
It was a good article though

My favorite conspiracy theory is that these projects/blog posts are secretly backed by big-AI tech companies, to offset their staggering losses by convincing executives to shovel pools of money into AI tools.
I'm also convinced that any post in an AI thread that ends with "What a time to be alive!" is a bot. Seriously, look in any thread and you'll see it.

I’m dealing with this now actually. So good timing.
When I was in my 20s I was an insufferable know-it-all who found fault with everything.
I still spot problems and “push back”, but I have the experience now to know how to get people to listen and not just write me off as an annoying prima donna.
Insufferable know-it-alls are easy to steer too. Just look at the DOGE team.

"Thankfully, we live in a beautifully democratic and capitalistic society where we can fight in court."
Of course he's "thankful" for that, since in our "beautifully democratic and capitalistic" society, Flock can use their $658 million of VC funding [1] to wage lawfare against the have-nots with their armies of lobbyists and lawyers. [2]

We still live in a 'Might makes right' society. The only thing that has changed since Medieval times is 'Might' means 'Money'.
