THIS is what makes me so mad: the best software developers are really good at evaluating new technologies, they see where they work best and where they are not a good fit. They're curious, excited, love to share but keep a healthy skepticism and really want to understand. They are balanced and look for the nuance. They've now been told by their bosses & CTOs that this is not good enough; dive in head-first without looking or find a new job (no, this is not hyperbole). That monster weight on one end of the see-saw keeps pushing me and others towards the other end to balance it, but I don't belong there and I'm not a Luddite. I want to straddle the middle and shift my weight back and forth as appropriate and the pro-AI army keeps pushing me away. It drives me bonkers.
