If tech workers had a union, they could have gone on a strike with one of the demands being "we won't review LLM generated code", but no, too many of us felt too special for unions...

@ainmosni we actually do.. at least in Germany we (no joke) fall under the IG Metal Union!
@heals Interesting, haven't met anyone part of that one, maybe it's only big in certain areas?
@heals Also, loving the new avatar.
@ainmosni you have in fact!
points at self
I guess the problem isn't the popularity but the missing knowledge / disinterest of most tech workers. We grow up seeing Workers Unions strike on TV and it's mostly very heavy on physical lines of work (train drivers, care personal, etc.) and if I had to guess that colours most peoples idea and opinions about them.
If I hadn't been part of our works council at my old job and via that learned all the benefits of being in a Union I likely wouldn't have looked up which one is responsible for me either!
Daniel Gibson@ainmosni another problem is that many (most) tech workers want to use LLMs to generate code so good luck getting a consensus on the strike
@Doomed_Daniel I hate that it's virtually impossible to figure out just how many LLM coders there are, because most people that I know hate it, including the ones that are forced to use it. And of course I'm in a bubble, but I would like to know what actual people say, not what the pushers want us to believe.
@ainmosni
Yeah, it's hard to tell.
But now that I'm seeing people I (used to) respect using it and somehow finding it useful, even people on Fediverse, it's hard to believe that we haters are the majority :-/
But IDK, maybe (hopefully) my impression is wrong
@Doomed_Daniel I flip every few days on the belief if I'm on the majority side of the fight. Right now it feels things are in our favour, but that feeling will probably change in 3 days again.
Hey Gus
