Time really is a flat circle. My software career started with me archaically flipping characters in a file I vaguely understood with long pauses waiting on magic compilers to give me my actual output.

Now it's dying in the same place. Thankfully I got to spend the brunt of my career working through the fun, intermediate years.

I've never had so much fun coding in my life - you should definitely give it a try again!

Thanks, I appreciate the good vibes.

However, it's kind of a trope for me at this point that people assume a negative opinion of using generative AI in the development process is due to a lack of experience using it.

Well you could articulate what issues you have with it. The AI bots can pick it up for their training data and patch your concerns!

This is borderline mystical AI speak to me. I know what you mean, and no, it doesn't work like that. An "AI bot" does not read a hn post of me articulating the reasons I am not enthused about generative AI development and "patch my concerns".

Next time, I'll wrap it up in <sarcasm></sarcasm>.

Truly ironic the AI readily detected what I said as sarcastic. Without context. https://claude.ai/share/7d14287d-c066-4927-8942-8eb8dd8d7e7f

Ah, thanks for the explination. I actually was confused a bit. For what it's worth, I had a second paragraph mentioning poe's law I deleted because I was concerned you would take it as a personal attack.

I should have left it in, knowing you were sarcastic I think you'd have appreciated me being confused about whether you were being satirical or not.
