AI is hurting engineers.

Many new engineers think the AI is smarter than they are. It's not.

You're paid to think about the problem. One important way you learn to think about the problem is to go through the exercise of writing code—especially the boring parts early in your career.

So if you're new to this, turn off Github Copilot and struggle on some of it for longer than is comfortable. Learning takes place at the edge of comfort.

I feel like a radical and yet all I’m asking for is that

- we stop killing people
- we share what we have
- we treat people with respect
- we enable their autonomy and self-determination
- we leave the planet more habitable than when we started

Why do I feel so bad about this?

I am now hearing that using three of something in writing is a sign of AI now.

And not literally a long standard and super effective way of writing.

Delighted to have fucking incurious proud illiterates playing AI whisperer.

I hope you step on a lego em-dash in the dark.

Pixelfed will never introduce ads. Ever.

Multiple acquisition offers this year? All declined. Another one last week? Also declined.

I built Pixelfed for the people, not shareholders.

That's why we're exploring Web Monetization - direct creator payments with zero privacy compromise.

I won't sell out now, or ever.

I love you too much, and am forever grateful for you helping me come out and become the dev I always dreamed of ❤️
