    > AI writing makes me vomit. There is likely a non empty set of writings that are AI written and that you don't recognize to be AI written. I agree that the Ai-isms are ugly. Butni…

    What can be concluded is that some get immense value out of Ai and some are incredibly critical of that claim. I do not know what the secret sauce is. But I have a responsibility t…

    Fair enough, that's on you. You are talking from an ideal point of view. You want the companies to hold employees responsible. But that is is not how it work. Why you appear obtuse…

    It really is not. There are some areas that are critical and where software developers carefully will detail stear the work. But the vast amount of software written, react componen…

    This is just stupid. Younperfeftky know that basically all software Deva use chatgpt or the like constantly to answer questions. In that second some of the progress was already att…

    You literally spend 99.999% og your time blindly trusting code - and that is only because I assume ymthat you write code yourself. For 99.999% of people, it is literally kthxbye on…

    Charge backs are generally not for returns. If the charge was legal and within contract and customer regulations, then Hover might very well just challange the charge back.

    I don't think that is true. I think more of the capabilities comes from the cross domains knowledge. Anyways, software is also designed for a domain. The reason why it is so adept …

    So, you don't have a hard time with the Ai. You have a hard time with the intermediaries who's value is dimishing. This is exactly the time to re organize. Not necessarily lay off,…

    I get this sentiment. And I get that it will feel good to see these things crumble. But I think it is most productive to assume that it does not. I am a very capable developer, and…
