It’s incredible to me how direct and obvious these personal attacks on Zack Polanski have become the closer we get to the local elections in the uk. Even The Guatdian. He must be getting somewhere.

Genuinely one of the worst things for me about the vibe coding apocalypse is that it is steadily eroding my patience in code review.

It used to be that if you identified issues with someone’s code, you could explain why, and help your coworker learn and grow as a professional. And sometimes they’d respond by explaining why they did it that way, and then you get to learn and grow as well.

Now a lot of the time when I do code review, I feel like I’m not actually investing my time in learning, just giving them something to copy paste into an AI chatbot without engaging with either the code or the feedback.

Just to be clear: The reason I’m ok with dunking on Richard Dawkins for falling in love with a website is because he’s an arrogant know-it-all, a transphobe, and a generally intolerant bigot.

People who fall into #AI psychosis (I’m not even sure that’s an accurate term) need help. They may be susceptible to hallucinatory or conspiratorial thinking because of some mental health predisposition, or suffer from blind spots thanks to their upbringing. We should not be deriding people who fall into trillion-dollar traps.

But we *should* point and laugh when a bigot publicly owns himself. It’s really funny.
