I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.
agree with lots of this, but i'm a mild RA defender because savestates/rewind/etc are a larger corrosive presence and hardcore mode forces you not to use them
kayin.moe/retroachieve... Today is not the day for nuance, or a well articulated Kay post. I'm on my hater shit and just had to get this out. 💬 Replies will appear as Comments and all that~
with BRDA i wanted to establish that the mark of a master is to explore and excel at every way to play a game, including the fairly OP nonsense i slipped in. grindy, sadly, but i think it establishes that cheesing things / your mate telling you to use dee-pierce is simply a step on a journey
publicly shame anyone that looks up "the best build" DENY CHEESING: jakesteinberg.substack.com/p/deny-chees...
dont really think you could summon the energy of like caravan events online. so what do folk actually want? anything better than "show either my steam friends or the best players in the world"? exhaustive player stats? some gaudy gem that throbs and glisters to inform you that you are now Bronze IV?

all the good programmers i know are always aching, crying, screaming to just be a code monkey and do away with basically everything else about software development
feeling kind of dizzy about people who use AI to write code. if you don't like writing code then you can do something else? i think something has gone wrong if people feel like programming is so necessary that they do it despite not actually liking it. imagine if people felt that way about tennis.
its an amazing idea that total laymen could make or modify complex software for their own individual purposes. but software development as practice and ecosystem is extremely complex. this idea is a huge non-sequitur against observed "what button on github gives me a windows exe installer" behaviour
