i could live with the dumb hype and product pushing, but the actual consequences suck (dead kids, stolen art, etc). it's an externality just like pollution, and we've gone backwards on that in the same time period :/

good point, it's not just some high priest thing
we (broadly) really are in a weird position, huh. everyone (broadly) likes this stuff, but it should be banned anyway, because of The Evil. and i bet you could get people to agree to that, if it weren't for commerce being on the other side...

a particularly funny outcome would be if programmers become the main people who use/benefit from a tool that's otherwise reviled. the secret shame of the technotraitors!

there's a lot of very active debate about that in open source circles. i've seen everything from "ban all contributors from using this tech" to "actively encourage it to replace documentation". i suspect pragmatism will win out, but it'll be interesting to see

it's definitely not a kind of appeal to authority that makes sense outside tech circles! i just wanted to note that those things actually are a credential, albeit one unrelated to evaluating social effects or w/e

they aren't startups. flask and django are open source projects dating back about 20 years on which a lot of the web was built; neither willison or ronacher is a rich SV type (although i get the sense the latter wants to be)

i was working on a project today that i hadn't touched in a couple of years, so i updated the toolchain and edition because it was just another five minutes. nothing broke, including custom proc macros etc

I found it easy-ish with only a couple of leaps of logic, but I've played basically every batched-investigation game and was keeping track of everything on a spreadsheet. Really enjoyed KINOPHOBIA, btw - I hadn't played IF in years, and the alternate-universe filmography was great fun.

a lot of the skill (not all) of using coding agents is setting up small tasks with tight feedback loops where the thing can churn until it gets it right. with SOTA tools I pretty much never see the reward-hacking thing people complain about where it will, e.g., just change the test to make it pass
