@dalias @mhoye Arguable. For routine drudgery, it can type faster than I can. Even that can make a difference. It can also point out potential design, architecture, or security flaws, but you get to decide if they’re valid or not. I can’t stress enough how helpful AI can be for a solo developer. It can help you with small things, like why is my debugger failing? Stuff peripheral to writing the code itself. AI doesn’t inherently make stuff suck; people & companies who use it thoughtlessly do.

@mhoye It might not, but other senior people who use it to augment their work might.

@dalias @codinghorror There’s a LOT you can’t do or say on TV. YouTube does censor quite a bit, but not as much.

@codinghorror I don’t think they realize that he can just launch his own show on X or YouTube or Rumble or something for free, have a bigger global audience, and not face nearly as much censorship as he would on the network
