⁂ L. RhodesAn industry-wide coding strike where programmers check out of their Big Tech jobs for a week to work of FOSS projects instead, to A/B test whether companies relying on agentic AI can really produce software of the same calibre.
I have no idea how many programmers have the political consciousness for something like this, or even whether it would make tactical sense, but with commercial AI aimed so directly at your livelihoods, it does seem like y'all should be planning some sort of collective defensive maneuver.
This is the sort of monologue a movie villain delivers while drowning the lead scientist who just started to question the intent behind the big secret project they've been working on.
