When you begin to fuck with the livelihoods and means of production of those who like to make things and hang their professional pride on their finely honed craftsmanship, you trespass into a very dark place you do not deserve to survive

on the one hand, the Fossil codebase is incredibly opinionated and has some surprising takes on C formatting one would not expect from an inveterate practitioner of Tcl (positive affect)
on the other hand, it's very simple and internally consistent in a way all other projects should emulate imo. i've only had to make two tiny changes to the codebase to bend it to my will

I am deeply ashamed of myself for feeling as though I did not deserve to unionise because I was comfortable. To me, unions were for people who deserved better conditions, but not for a single moment in my 20+ years career until the past handful of years did I realise that comfort does not equal leverage, but rather the opposite.

the party i threw when Kissinger kicked the bucket and sailed off down the River Styx was excellent, but that was nothing compared to the absolute fucking rager I will throw when the fucking AI bubble finally pops

The consensus (at least on LinkedIn anyhow) is that LLM-driven development is the expected default and is the only commercially viable form of development. Does anybody have any compelling reasons that this is NOT the case?
Please note: I'm not asking because I'm looking to have an argument. I'm asking because I feel so utterly fucking hopeless that I will ever be able to get a job as a software developer ever again without having to be forced to use LLMs.

I should also clarify: The main reason explicit rules have not been such a priority is because registration has always been either subject to approval or invite-only (as is currently the case). I can see the rules being a suitable adjustment of the HexCorp Discord community rules, as they have been battle-tested far more than anything I could have come up on my own.
Please feel free to DM for an invite if need be. Currently vetting is done via presence on the HexCorp Discord.

as i contemplate this matter more deeply, my hope is that LLM nerds continue to consider hardware well outside their purview. who will have the expertise to vibe code software which can simply vibe code away the important iterations in meatspace with sufficiently accurate simulations to eliminate these "bottlenecks"?
