the leaders of the civil rights era could not propose or veto legislation. they had no "power." but they had legitimacy because they were out there. Letter from a Birmingham Jail was written...FROM JAIL. But with these guys "Hey it's crazy right now and we can't do much, but give us money." LOL ok.

I get that this sounds like something from sci-fi. You talk into a device and it gives you what you want. But I don't want Google digging through my photos or all my personal files just to tell me about tires. I would rather ask the people whose job is to know about tires.

tbf, much of what's happening in the AI realm today qualifies as a waking nightmare...

Anyway, I'll take this brief connection as an opportunity to thank you for your contributions - I always enjoy your work and outlook

One of the things I think the vibe coding stuff hasn't yet really come to terms with is junior developers and owners often think the key skill for developers is ability to write code, and principal developers know the /actual/ super power that distinguishes principals is their ability to debug.
