I get the point that's trying to be made here, but it's actually inaccurate. The *MAJORITY* of actual practitioners in the tech industry have a position that is neither of these, it's merely getting drowned out by these two loud positions. The most common belief in the tech industry is simple:

For me, when I started with ember 2 years ago, the mind-blowing thing was how easy and intuitive state management is. Just having ergonomic app-wide state containers (Services) and native-feeling derived reactive state (@tracked + getters) was enough to make it feel better than the others I’d tried

I know many relate to this article, and that really upsets me.

I use em dashes and refuse to stop using them. They're part of the language. Are we supposed to stop using emojis and lists because AI overuses them too?

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci!
ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

i finished watching the pitt and i have a plan for improving efficiency in emergency rooms. gather all medicine you have on hand and dump it into a large vat. that's the "wellness vat." wheel it around and ladle it out to people. if someone is critical, pick them up and put them in the wellness vat

Why I stopped using AI code editors Β· Luciano Nooijen In the past I used AI code editors for all of my programming, but I stopped using it and recommend others to consider this as well

I avoid using LLMs with my coding for the same reason that I forced my high school students to avoid using calculators for many things. This post is such a great explanation of "coding sense" and "finger feel" that you lose when you use LLMs as a crutch
