It's clear that AI assisted coding is dividing developers (welcome to the culture wars!). I've seen a few blog posts now that talk about how some people just "love the craft", "delight in making something just right, like knitting", etc, as opposed to people who just "want to make it work". As if that explains the divide.

How about this, some people resent the notion of being a babysitter to a stochastic token machine, hastening their own cognitive decline. Some people resent paying rent to a handful of US companies, all coming directly out of the TESCREAL human extinction cult, to be able to write software. Some people resent the "worse is better" steady decline of software quality over the past two decades, now supercharged. Some people resent that the hegemonic computing ecosystem is entirely shaped by the logic of venture capital. Some people hate that the digital commons is walled off and sold back to us. Oh and I guess some people also don't like the thought of making coding several orders of magnitude more energy intensive during a climate emergency.

But sure, no, it's really because we mourn the loss of our hobby.

That's right folks, it is now easier to buy a firearm than to load open source software on your phone in America.

A Federal judge found a document published by HHS about gender affirming care for minors violated the agency's procedures for making such documents.
The document claimed gender-affirming care was unsafe and ineffective, claims not supported by evidence.

Docket: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72077914/state-of-oregon-v-kennedy/
I can't find the order on the docket yet, so I am going entirely based on public reporting. Also, my knowledge of administrative law is very limited.

BlueSky wants you to trust them, but they raised $100 million from a crypto fund almost a YEAR AGO and didn't tell anyone.
