  • Continue the thought to its natural conclusion: That was back before degrees were financed with tax payer money... which allowed people to fall into indentured servitude with debilitating repayment schemes that most will carry until they die. Pros: Someone way smarter than you is making your coffee, waiting on you, driving you around, and delivering your packages. Cons: Society doesn't actually get to benefit from the advanced degree it fronted the money for.

  • It's a crutch. Some perspective introspection questions: Is it really boosting your productivity? If the LLM can do most of the nonsense being asked of you, maybe it is time to consider a new role with more challenge and skill required?

    Mid career is the time to take on larger projects or deeper technical fixes/augmentations now that you have a solid foundation of skills. Without this kind of experience you'll be one of those "seniors" that has the title because of tenure, but not because merit/skill.

    I am undiagnosed ADHD and vibe coding just kills the magic. No longer am I in control. Can't achieve flow if I am not the one actually doing the work. Vibe coding is really being a ((n) engineering, project, etc) manager and that takes a different, uninteresting skill set plus patience to deal with the computer's fuck ups. I refuse to vibe code at work (fintech). Hell, I can't even use the LLM autocomplete nonsense in Intellij because it confabulates API like a motherfucker.

    While the thinking sand is amazing relative to unskilled, for those of us that know better, it is a really shitty junior dev that sometimes can't even write code that compiles and will randomly fuck up other working code. And I just don't have the time or the patience to deal with that shit.

  • Well then I guess it is time for Civil War: Part Deux. And maybe this time, we let Sherman continue his march. Reconstruction was a mistake, and the US is now paying dearly for it some 150+ years after the fact. If we had stamped out the racists then, they wouldn't be a stupidly large constituency of the redhats now.

  • "What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."
