"AI is not a good idea for serious software but it's okay for my dumb projects."
Who hurt you? Why do you think that your personal project and interest does not deserve the care that you'd expect from serious things? It's your project, your opportunity to have fun.
@tante Okay, but sometimes the point is getting something specific done - it is not always the end, sometimes just a means on the path to something else.
@tante My personal projects are for fun. Coding is fun. Writing specifications isn't. Conclusion: My personal projects will never see a commit from an LLM. :)
@tante if anything my personal projects are even more high effort than some of my professional work because how much time I put into them is entirely up to me and not subject to an imposed budget or deadline
@tante seeing my friends devalue themselves and their work is the worst thing.
@tante hm, I think if people choose to use their projects just as means to an end that they don't care for for their own sakes, that's ok too. Whether it's OK to use AI is a different question, but I think the answer can't be in expecting people to care about things they don't actually want to give a damn about.
