@zachleat but why? Whenever I ask senior dev a question i get:“Ask Claude! He can do it.“

Honestly though: devs who retain their ability to write code without ai will be the ones companies will search for.

You may quote me on this when the whole ai slop/hallucination/accidents ship has sunken.

@tk not as a consumer, but as a builder!

@nice2meatu doesn’t matter how you create/generate the code, you’re still responsible for it!

@zachleat one of my lifelong frustrations has been how little most people seem to care about how anything they use on the regular actually works. By and large, zero interest from the average person in understanding what they use at even a high level.
