@timnitGebru Never in my life did I think I'd see software development, a field that's spent decades building best practices and being concerned with security and code quality, destroy itself in a matter of months.

At this point these people might as well be just reading tea leaves, or casting chicken bones on the ground.

@prietschka @timnitGebru Nah, this too shall pass. Half the industry runs off down blind alleys every 5-10 years or so, and the rest of us just carry on in spite of the latest bullshit fad.

On the code quality front, too - jesus wept, that's a never-ending uphill battle through a river of shit 😂 These GenAI kiddies will tire themselves out soon enough and we can just quietly plod along, doing a good job and preventing the worst excesses harming our systems.

@brad @timnitGebru I've seen all this too many times, it's why I'm out of the sector.

My guess is the coming Great-Recession-on-steroids-and-PCP crash will wipe a lot of this nonsense away under the weight of much suffering; but, still...I just can't do this anymore.

Maybe the genai kiddos need themselves a 1929-type implosion to understand what suffering is?
