Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

You probably haven't heard of Garbanzo Quest by @zachisagardner.bsky.social, but it's an incredible game with a lot to say. Today we dive deep into this classic and emerge with a newfound understanding of what it means to be an independent artist in the first place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=90rk...

Pretty much sums up my view on GenAI. This past year I've wound up stopping doing business with a lot of companies over forcing GenAI on me.

I've watched peers in software dev both who resisted and embraced AI get laid off by companies chasing GenAI.

GenAI is doing harm at scale for profit.
