Do you want to know why AI will never create production grade code? It's so obvious, once you see it, you can't unsee it.

If Amazon won't tell you, I will.

Stern words shall be had if they do not reinstate you.

What can I do to help? Reposting and commenting on the posts from the usual suspects on LI, of course. What else?

See, this is why you get paid the big bucks. I don't understand it... :-(

Also, a Dave Barry famously said he was always bringing a bomb on a plane because they chance of there being a bomb on a plane is 1:100,000, but the chance of there being _two_ bombs...

It's worse because not only are they targeting you but they are also likely reporting it as progress according to the intent of the language.

It's like beating your spouse because 1/3 relationships have violence so you're taking one for the team to save two other marriages.

Apparently I am misrepresenting my identity on LinkedIn.

Ok so if I am reading this correctly, I'm being permanently banned from LinkedIn for "Misrepresenting my identity"

I got banned for being trans!

That's the only thing that they could be referring to!

This is total bullshit.

I am truly sorry. I cannot imagine why it would matter in any situation.

The irony may be that the inclusive principles meant to protect people against abuse like this is now being used against you.

The world sucks and I am sorry I have to be part of it when it treats people like you like this.

That's why they sell like hot cakes.

All I want are hot cakes.

Worried about losing your software development job to AI? You should be. Just not yet.

If you're interested, there's a link at the bottom
If you're not interested..?

OK, but where's the link if I'm not interested?

"Architect and develop microservice-based infrastructure using Python, with a focus on scalability and reliability"

Well, there's your problem right there.

Stolen from Stephen Telford on LinkedIn.

Stephen. When you should be looking for work but you're looking at memes instead.

Python sucks! Now go yell at me.

OK, coding is officially dead. This new site let's you just write any problem you have and get ready to copy source code in any language.

It's called StackOverflow.

Haha, just kidding, it's called Github.

Yeah... That's one reason why devs aren't going away.

AI is coming - we're all going to die!

Here's how to survive:

Everyone: Wow, AI is getting impressively realistic.

Meanwhile, reality:

Well, world, you had a good run. Try again next year?

I listen to assholes. And morons.

They say things you don’t want to hear.

But here’s the thing:

Those voices? They mark the edges of our knowledge.

The people screaming that AI is dead (again) or that ChatGPT is about to enslave humanity—they’re wrong.

But so is everyone else.

Except me.

The Three Tiers of AI Application Development understanding.blog/articles/the... -> Thanks for the mention, @furuknap. You may be the only person alive who remembers that manifesto.

It was more important than you realize, I think, and if nothing else, it inspired this post :-) Thank you for your contribution!

From all of us to all of you, may your holidays be all you want and all you desire. May your will be strong and your love be appreciated by those with whom you share it.

We love you.
