The worst thing about AI coding assistants maybe isn’t the tech but the people who constantly rub it into your face how great they find it and how you should do it too and you’re wrong not trying it and “why not just do a little bit”.
I’m wondering if they’re talking about programming or snorting cocaine.

People keep assuming that we're invading Venezuela for oil, but let's also consider the possibility that Maduro said something like like "Trump Tower looks gaudy" 30 years ago and it has been eating away at Trump every day since.
