That “We mourn our craft” post is smug AI booster bait, don’t fall for it.
This shit is not inevitable, you don’t have to roll over and take it, and you’re not a dinosaur for not wanting to. This applies to wherever you are in your career.
Real skills matter. Thinking for yourself matters. The process of software engineering matters and can’t be replaced by probabilistic text extruders. Resisting the complete capture of the means of production by corporations so they can extract endless rents matters. Stay strong!
