Ah, the long form article - these should be published in parts, maybe this one in four.

I've been to SF three times, and each time the oddest thing was going down 101 from the airport and seeing cURL commands and "you sped past that just like we sped past Snowflake" and such on billboards. It's like being on another planet where everyone is at work. (on the other hand, in DC there's ads on the metro for new engine upgrades for fighter jets, and i've gotten used to that.)
And in LA, every billboard is about Hollywood. It's something you just have to take in your stride. I do get that it is not nice to be constantly reminded of work. Trees would make a nicer view.
I have the pleasure of living in Santa Barbara, CA, where we've banned billboards for decades. It's quite refreshing.

I think there has always been some truth to that, long before AI. Being driven to get up and just do the thing is the most important factor in getting things done. Expertise and competency are force multipliers, but you can pick those up along the way - I think people who prefer to front-load a lot of theory find this distasteful, sometimes even ego-threatening, but it's held true in my observations across my career.…
be honest, how much of this big comment was "expanded" with AI?
There's too many incidental details, too much substance and complexity for this to be an AI-generated comment.
(I know this is an 8-day old thread, but accusing a long comment of being AI-generated is a bad trend.)

none.
It was obvious to me as well that your comment was not AI-generated.
I thought I'd reply as I like reading in-depth discussions online, so I don't want to see a future where everyone assumes long comment = AI. :)
