What makes the anaesthesiologist more important?
> But if a person identifies with being "the surgeon", with everyone else being "a support team that handles prep, secondary tasks, admin", then the post makes sense from an egocentric perspective.
They're not talking about other people being the support team. They're calling the AI tooling the support team.
- seanhunter 1y agoThe anesthetist is the person who is primarily responsible for the patient remaining alive. You can decide for yourself whether that's more or less important than what the surgeon's doing. As someone who has had to have 3 surgeries in the last few years I'm very grateful that both the surgeon and anesthetist in each case did a fantastic job and didn't do anything like the author of TFA is suggesting. FWIW I don't think the analogy in the article survives knowledge of what surgeons actually do.
- croes 1y agoThe analogy should give you a hint of your kind of responsibility and work. It may be flawed but most people get the point especially compared to vibe coders who just wait outside the operating room
