    for which reason? The spy drama? The data centers? Abandoning gamers? Proposing legislation that benefits, solely AI company and potentially China?

      Pick any. Anything that makes the bubble pop.

      MFs are getting 1.2x faster tickets that need to be re-done anyway because the shithead managers are passing the financial squeeze onto the devs.

      AI is basically to shell scripts what WYSIWYG is to HTML.

      I worked with salesforce, and the entire motivation for their shitty UI based flow tools are to get rid of the need for a developer, and let the business take charge of maintaining systems.

      Business can’t take charge of maintaining systems, because they don’t know how to think analytically.

      Who works as salesforce administrators? Programmers. Programmers that would rather be writing code instead of fucking around with flow diagrams and have to pull down shitty xml files and commit it to git.

      AI is the same fucking thing for creation, but it comes with a subscription that is volatile,. as soon as anthropic et al need to actually deliver the cash.

      When you need to break something, sure, go to the AI and beg it fifty times in a row to steal bitcoins for you. No problem.

      The reason Linus torvalds can fuck around with AI and get ridiculous output is because he already knows his shit. Average company that’s trying to cram features out the door are basically creating a mountain of tech debt and busting through a pile of subscription cash. If they aren’t, they could have done the shit they are doing without the AI anyway, since they’re already following best practices.

      It was actually really fucking easy to not be in this shitty situation :

      1. Have an evergreen product
      2. Create a userbase < most companies are here
      3. Keep on top of tech and infrastructure debt < Most companies fail here
      4. Allow programmers to innovate to come up with new products or features. < Most businesses cannot even dream of this step.
