It's not so simple. I build software for people. AI is an imitation, but it's not a silver bullet, it just is really good at looking like one. But when you get down to the fundamentals of it's outputs, its only able to Look Good, get you most of the way there, but it can't finish the job.

The reality is that so much money is being dumped into AI, that it also naturally makes it one of the most heavily marketed and hyped industries too. My boss like many CEOs is unknowingly getting targeted with social media that is making him think that it can reduce the need for increasing headcount

It is in a bubble, and we will reach a point where it will pop. AI will still be here! It's not going to go away! But the hype is going to die down when reality sets in. And in the end, when that happens, us devs will still remain.

But we should also build different interfaces for AI. The contextual needs that AI has are very different than those for humans, and when AI fails to deliver it's up to us to pick of the pieces. I personally think the AI economy is a very fragile, top heavy one.

These are great questions to ask. I have a lot of thought on this. But I think the most important one is this. Human developers existed long before AI. And we humans will continue to evaluate the outputs of AI before applying them to our work. I believe that we should continue to build for humans.

I can't read the languages but I can tell the difference for all but the glyphs. (If that's the proper generalized term for them)

I come to bsky to be informed and stay current with new developments in industry and world events. I don't come here to see ppl lament about how generally awful things are. I'm not disputing they are, it's plainly obvious where things stand. I don't like Reddit for the same reasons. Make bsky good!

@incident.io Been getting bad vibes from Slack lately. Any plans to support other Business messaging platforms? I've seen people saying mattermost is a good alt.

@antfu.me I love your github.com/antfu/eslint... project. Would you happen to know when oxlint will have full compat with it? Tried @oxlint/migrate but there's still a lot of unsupported rules.

Ok. Trump's recent actions regarding Ukraine bother me deeply. The facts of the matter as I know them couldn't ever explain or rationalize what he's doing on this matter. That is all.

I feel compelled to "like" any post that remotely has any relevance just because the feed can't take a hint. Also, does the "show less like this" button do anything?

Too much noise in my feed. Looks like I have to lay the likes on thick and how the relevance improves.

Personal thoughts. I really don't understand why the incoming president feels it's okay for the US to enter a new imperial era. It's only going to make us the thing we've all grown to dispise. Honestly, if he's really feeling that way, he should help make Puerto Rico a US state.

I was fortunate enough to enjoy 2 weeks off of work this past holiday season. Only had to touch my computer for work about 3 times! Anyways, I'm now itching to get back into it. There's a lot waiting for me to do this year. Hopefully, with the help of my amazing team, we can!
