The most surreal thing about AI coding shit taking on is the revelation that so many people who do this thing that I love, seem to have no care for the craft at all. Even people who I would have pointed at, years ago, as those who clearly care. And I know it has always been Just A Job for many people, but holy shit, do you even care a little bit?
We humans are not merely bad at it, we have people who have been doing the work with no desire to be good at it in the first place.

If you don’t like programming, I invite you to do something else with your time instead of promoting the machine that lets you not do it. Some people actually like it, you jerks.

@pikhq I don't disagree, but can you cw your complaining. I don't want to see it right now.

@empathicqubit no, i will not heed the demands/complaints of someone who does not follow me, who i have no social relationship with, and who is replying on a post that got boosted nearly 200 times and hence went far outside of my usual audience, oh entitled random stranger

@pikhq That tracks

@pikhq Should I just stop using mastodon? What is your recommendation? I already get bombarded with bullshit from righties on the daily just for being a minority, and I get bombarded from choir preaching leftists too

@empathicqubit my recommendation is you learn how not to be impossibly rude to strangers (you seem to be quite upset that someone has responded in kind)
while i realize the term is not fully applicable, you being not a guy, are you familiar with the term "reply guy"?

@pikhq You popped into my feed somehow. Can you please help me find a solution to that that doesn't involve muting you or blocking you? Maybe you're a cool person. I don't know yet

@[email protected] @empathicqubit the way I see it, you have two options:
1. don’t let the algorithm decide what you see, and stick to viewing the feed that only shows posts from those you’ve explicitly followed
2. let the algorithm show you what it wants to, and simply scroll past things you don’t like instead of tone-policing people you don’t know

@empathicqubit @pikhq if you go to the profile of someone you follow, you have an option to hide the posts they boost. Obviously this can be repeated with other people you follow if necessary
