In the linked thread (currently on the second page) someone called mendax, who is defending Artist, says:

tango is an entitled DEI hire who's just short of demanding reparations for getting the boot from Artix

Someone called mikadonakado then replies with:

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you are a luddite, you are the lefty DEI hire, or whatever. Every luddite and neo-luddite community is tied to ShareBlue and CCP in some way. The CCP is behind the push to not build more data centers and slow down AI development.

Meanwhile everyone who is a libertarian and everyone who loves Javier Milei also loves AI. You can point out some exceptions, but in general, this statement is completely true. You cannot be a luddite and then accusing other people of being DEI hires.

So this seems like an absolutely delightful community.

You all have embarrassed and shamed yourselves.
Most of you aren't Neovim users, but a drive-by mob, swirling from one mindless vomit-party to another, like the pacific garbage patch.

sure bro. you didn't embarrass yourself at all, throwing a fit over simply removing a quote by a fascist white supremacist.
have fun with your dark enlightenment or whatever, that'll make you happy i'm sure.

Honestly, the AI bros must be getting really fucking desperate if they're trying to use Minecraft to criti-hype people.

You give AI some guidelines and a feature description, then you twiddle your thumbs while it generates giant specs and occasionally asks you for some inputs, then you attempt to read the thing, give up, and give it to some other agent. Rinse and repeat until you burn a GDP of a small country in tokens and the agents agree that it's going to work, and then you finally pull the lever and hopefully a feature matching all your specs appears. Or it doesn't! And if it didn't, it's surely your fault because you didn't give AI enough context.

I'm tired, boss.

It is the worst and I want to retire.

And the current somewhat new hotness is spec-driven development. I've tried it over the last few days since it looks like it'll be mandatory for larger work.

And boy. Boy oh boy.

There are no words in the English language to describe how much I hated it. There may be some ancient curses in R'lyiehian that would do it.

The Copilot mandates were bad enough, but honestly if this is an attempt to make me see the light and admit that in itself Copilot isn't that bad, then it's kinda working.

It's just... idk, I got into software dev because I like logic puzzles (and wanted the money, let's be real). I enjoy making a small thing and then slowly adding stuff to it. I do not enjoy sitting idly while the slopmachine writes a giant spec that I think I'm supposed to read and correct but can't because it's unreadable. It's like a textual white noise. It's pretending to describe a piece of software I want to make while actually describing all the steps of a ritual to summon an Elder God of anxious boredom and machine madness.

I think I'll be defining all of my work as small from now on.
