  • I can’t say AI hasn’t changed how I work, it has. Instead of going to Google, vendor docs, or the manpage for whatever code or system I am working on I will ask Claude or Gemini to take a stab at building the initial pass of the code or to look up what some cryptic error code means for me. Or even a better way to write some code that I think can be more concise.

    The key I think is I never let it make the final decisions for me. The workflow is always look up information > shows it to me > ask for permission to do the thing > do the thing.

    But none of that is “changing everything” in the way executives and the Sam Altman’s of the world want to profess. It is just a sometimes more efficient for me way of doing the same thing I was doing before.

    A lot of people I have seen that crow about how they are using AI to change their work lives are just doing really fancy Github workflows and actions to automate something they used to still do manually for some reason. They rarely are doing anything that couldn’t be done with the time to research and test without AI.

    I hate talking points like this. They don’t “own” anyone. They just expose a simpleton world view every bit as disingenuous and damaging as the trickle down economics crowd.

    No one, and I mean no one, isn’t a supporter of socialist policies because it is handing out free shit or more accurately put, shit obtained using money gathered from the masses, they are mad because that “shit” is not something everyone can easily produce an infinite supply of. Every argument against socialist policies lead back to the same fact that root cause, scarcity of resources.

    You want to solve hunger, homelessness, etc come up with a way to feed and house people that can’t do for themselves without taking from the masses in a way that ends up in massive corruption, debt, and market collapse.

    The root issues are limited resources and a society that preaches individuality above all else in every situation. Until those 2 things are no longer issues then socialist policies are just deferred pain and more debt, just like conservative tax cuts.
