Seeing people I respect calling their development process "arguing with chatbots" now is really getting kind of sad. There's no agency there, man, there's no choice. There's no understanding. You're s...
@nprofile1q... the current era of bad faith anthropomorphization has really sucked all the joy out of a lot of our old familiar complaints.
