We are all feeling the pressure of generating code with AI for short sighted productivity gains. And with that the increase of cognitive debt, constant context switching and verbose plans nobody really reads. It creates a world with less human collaboration, joy of crafting and supporting communities.

This is not an extension trying to solve anything. It is just the only way I can express my discomfort with what is happening. We used to have a rhythm of moving between our crafted code and community to help us move forward. Waiting for AI generated code while doom scrolling AI generated tik tok is as dark as it gets, but it has very much become a reality.

It may be surprising, but community participation isn’t a priority for all developers. Myself, I want to write reliable code and then live my life. If I can do that more efficiently with AI assistance, that’s a win for me.
