@Tijn all the useful uses of LLMs (there’s some, but not very many) I’ve seen so far do not use the chatbot interface

@sarae Bluesky has both options

@elricofmelnibone what actually happens is that the important parts of software development are starved of attention because "we can write software so easily now"

@nowster @mathew good effort
