I have never thought of it as a cheat code at all. I also don't think of it as a new programming language (because it's not). It's a tool.
It's not one that I find all that useful, and under ordinary circumstances, all that would mean is that I don't use it. Where the hard feelings come in is that it's being shoved into other tools that I use and so is increasingly becoming an irritation that gets in my way. The constant stream of sales pitches and propaganda doesn't help, either.
- keepamovin 1y agoThat makes sense. If you're so far ahead that you don't need it, it would be seen as a nuisance. However, it's catching up. And one day, will overtake your capabilities. Inevitably. So....you better get on board, or retired/fire first!

This sort of hard-sell is objectionable and manipulative. Perhaps it will become essential at some point, and if it does, then I can "get on board" at that time. If it becomes so great that I find it actually helpful, I won't even need anyone to demand I use it. I'll use it eagerly of my own accord. Why is it so important to you that people rush into this if they aren't excited by it?
