The onus isn't on people using AI effectively to prove it to others. In fact, these disagreements and disbeliefs create opportunities and salients in the market.

That's a you guys problem. Maybe one or both of you. Have you thought about pair programming together with the AI? My LLM outputs are intentional, in my style, and tightly reviewed by myself. I'm also emitting Rust, which I'v

On the contrary, this is performative. I've been in the media space, so I've seen artists do this for years now. It's fucking bullshit. It's like handmade goods (some of which turned out to be sweatshop produced anyway)

Claude is significantly better at Rust in my experience, and Rust is my favorite language to emit from LLMs. Opus 4.7 + Rust is a killer combo.

You'll learn Rust faster with AI and should be able to solve it yourself. You're unlikely to wind up in such a situation though. The design work Claude does in Rust is really sensible and idiomatic, and I really don't think y

Rust is a fantastic language to emit from AI. Studies report that the language design tends to result in lower defect code (vs peers such as Go and Java) due to how the syntax aids error handling, logic flow, and API design. You don't
