how am I supposed to not be angry at this? how am I not supposed to feel like I am seeing my life's work forcibly taken from me so some sociopath can make a quick buck? how am I not supposed to worry just about every single moment that this won't get worse? how am I even supposed to look at "mild" uses of this and not just think about how a year ago, when AI was basically the same as it is right now, so many of these same people wouldn't have even looked at these tools. nothing even changed but people are suddenly pretending like they work now
I don't think people appreciate just how deeply these tools affect a lot of us. Like, working in this industry was a dream for some of us. Getting to write code that helps people own their devices was my dream.
Like what else is there now? How long do I get to live this dream now? Is it already over?
I'll be honest I've definitely been really struggling this last week trying to figure out how to keep moving forward while trying to figure out how to tune out deskillers and it's getting hard man. I've never felt anxiety and this strong of a sense of dread for the industry I work in before. Genuinely feels like something I worked for years to be a part of and to be proud of got shitty the moment I finally started getting past my burnout.
If y'all are opposed to mesa allowing AI code mind hitting me up so I can actually gauge how many people are against this
@karolherbst Not only that, people notice. I've had people in furry chats literally all over the fucking place talking about systemd introducing claude code reviews.
People keep pretending this shit is seen as professional, but actual real people are looking at this and starting to lose trust.
When your employer asks you to try a tool: you can say no. In fact, by not saying no you are negatively affecting the people around you if you already know the consensus is against using the tool.
Like I don't get it: I see people in FOSS use these tools, and I just have so much trouble wrapping my head around it. I get people who hate their job using it, but how can you not feel horrendous about subjecting people to horrendous shit like this on a software project that's intended to do good for people?
Why do you not care about the stress you're putting on those around you? Why are you in this job?
It's downright fucking insane to me that anyone in FOSS is giving this shit the time of day. Screw you. I've tried being fucking nice but I've so fucking had it. NINE god damn financial quarters of this stupid bullshit. If you like these tools so much go fucking quit your job. Go quit your job. You want so, so badly for the AI to do your job for you. Just go all the way man!! Just fucking make your entire god damn job responsibility agentic. Oh what, that doesn't pay you?
Yeah. No fucking shit.
I don't give a rats ass if your friend or whatever the fuck found it useful. I don't give a rats ass about explaining why that means fuck all, because I did. Dozens and dozens of times. And you didn't listen, you just went "oh well the AI model is better now :)". So no
I'm not interested in having a fucking discussion about this anymore, because neither are you. So fuck off.
stop
Fucking
using
The AI tools
for fuck sakes!!! STOP. stop pressing this shit on your coworkers!!! Stop fucking playing the "oh well maybe it's useful game"
Stop fucking dragging everyone else into your fucking gambling addiction personified as a fucking software tool god fucking damnit
