It’s some mixture of luddites, denial, ignorance, and I don’t know what else.

I’m not sure what these people are NOT seeing. Maybe I’m somehow fortunate with visibility into what AI can do today, and what it will do tomorrow. But I’m not doing anything special. Just paying attention and keeping an open mind.

I’ve been at this for 40 years, working professionally for more than 30. I’ve seen lots.

One pattern I’ve seen repeating is folks who seem to stop leaning at some point. I don’t understand this, because for me learning everyday is what fuels me. And those folks eventually die on the vine, or they become the last few greybeards working on COBOL.

We are alive at a very interesting time in tech. I am excited about that. I am here for it.



some of us learn from the bad experience of others, like this sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46061520

it already tells me enough to stay away from using AI tools for coding. and that's just one reason, if i consider all the others, then that's more than enough.
