It's funny how "the real split" is always between the intellectually and morally superior (me) and the inferiors (them).

- reportgunner 7mo agoI never asked for this.
- allenu 7mo agoI've noticed that too and it's not too different from political discussions. At the end of the day, I think the split is really about different values people have, their identity, and justice. A lot of developers' identities is tied to their ability to create quality solutions as well as having control over the means of production (for lack of a better term). An employer mandating that they start using AI more and change their quality standards is naturally going to lead to a sense of injustice about it all.
- pona-a 7mo agoWhen one side of the discussion makes their ignorance a point of pride, defining themselves entirely based on what they now need not know, I believe you've inadvertently insulted yourself.
- rng-concern 7mo agoI don't see many on one "side" with prideful ignorance. There are a few loud ones, sure. But I love to see the many ideas I've not had the time to implement come to fruition. I don't get the same satisfaction. It doesn't seem as much "mine" as if I did it all by hand. However once the tool is built, I use it to build more things. More tools. Not having to know the lower levels means you can free your mind for things at higher levels of abstraction. It's not a void in our brain you don't fill with other things. But I don't know. I'm new to this.
