heavens, I hate that "claude" abomination and everything it represents so much.
and I'm spooked by the #hypernormalization surrounding it, badly.

They will boast they don't even look at the code "anymore", just manipulate incredibly detailed and unreadable textfiles without possessing or wanting to understand the mechanism that transforms these, non-deterministically, to code that may or may not work.
There's just no way that I'm going to pretend this isn't some of the worst bullshit ever devised.
I cannot play along with this. Couldn't pretend this is fine, even if I tried.
Not even if this was the last job in the world.
Which won't be the case.
But I'm worried because this bullshit is coming from all sides.
And undermining institutions and infrastructure too.
@quincy great, now I can't sleep because of that horror story
@malikshark sorry for that, I should probably CW it.
I can confirm there are now whole teams of (in my view: former; nominally still carrying the title of) "developers" and "engineers" pretending it's perfectly fine and reasonable, even "progress", to beg someone else's incredibly wasteful computer just to understand one's own codebase.
