I will never not be upset at my fellow engineers for selling out the ONE thing that made us valuable and respected in the marketplace and trying to destroy software engineering as a career because "Claude Code go brrrrrr" basically.

It's like we had the means for production and more or less collectively decided "You know what? Actually, the bourgeoisie can have it, sure."

I find it fascinating how the “true believers” of AI and AGI, have essentially been manipulated by capitalists to undermine the value of their own labor.

The personification of the quote “your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should”

I feel the existential problem for a world that follows the religion of science and technology to its extreme, is that most people in STEM have no foundation in humanities, so ethical and philosophical concerns never pass through their mind.

We have signed a pact with the devil to help us through boring tasks, and no one thought to ask what we would give in exchange.

Yeah, lawyers, politicians and MBA types all usually have solid foundation in humanities. Not exactly known for concerning themselves with ethics or philosophy though.

Money. It's always money. It was always money.

Couldn't agree more. AI as it's designed today is very heavy on the "f u; got mine" vibe.

Tech in general, I remember when I was younger thinking the tech world was so cool and different.

I still love the work, but to say I’m disillusioned by the industry is an understatement.
