I think the analogy hits home on both sides. You go faster, but you miss the meditative experience of going slow.

- heddycrow 8mo agoMy knee jerk is that there are quite a few people who can't or won't snowmobile when needed and ski when needed. That's where the analogy starts to break a bit. You can't mode switch between skis and snowmobile, but you sure can ai assist/not pretty quickly. One more quick one - imagine skiers showing up to the snowmobile club hating on snowmobiles and vice versa. I, for one, have still not properly got a grip on how tech enables this sort of a analogy-breaking reality. Effing go ski then; there's even a club for that! (rhetorical, not directed at anyone in particular) And shame on me cause I show up to the ski club on a snowmobile with skis on my back.
- qnleigh 8mo agoActually I think it still kinda works: - You could ski easy routes but snowmobile harder ones (not that anyone actually does this). - Snowmobiles are loud and chew up the snow, analogous to AI flooding a repo with low-effort PRs?
- heddycrow 8mo agoI can guess that you like this exercise and you seem to be adept at it. I can't help but think you are my kind of people in that regard. Kudos!
