What I find hilarious is that every shitty non-innovation that the tech industry dreams up to make coding cheaper actually makes it more expensive and increases my value as a skilled programmer. It's been shown that AI code is dragging software quality down, which is expensive to fix. Also, making wild claims about AI replacing programmers has scared people away from the industry, further increasing our value as the only entity actually capable of creating software that works.

This socialist does. Socialism is the collective ownership of the means of production. Capitalism is the private ownership of the means of production. There are lots of things you can tack onto capitalism that don't turn it magically into socialism, like libraries, public education, or UBI. If you give everyone $500 a month under capitalism, then the landlords can just raise the rent by $500 and you've merely created a transfer of public wealth to landlords.

Don't do Stalin like that, bro.

"Do you want to _?"

* "Yes"
* "Maybe later".

To whoever designs this style of interface: be an adult and accept rejection, don't be like a abusive boyfriend that doesn't take "no" for an answer. It's perfect fine to have the "Maybe Later" option as long as there is a "No". Forcing people who don't want to do something to say "Maybe later" isn't a good look. It makes your whole product seem creepy as fuck with no respect for consent.

Maybe later? Maybe go fuck yourself.
