For a while it looked like devs would resist the slop
I don’t think I ever saw this. The only indication would have been a major dev org like the FSF, OSI, SFC or somebody hitting Microsoft with a really aggressive lawsuit over OpenAI. They would have had a slam dunk and it would have set the tone for the way the rest of the world reacted, I think.
Instead it was just ‘wow cool toy.’ That was when I realized the real politics of Foss wasn’t just a couple of bad actors like Eric Raymond but a full on rot.
I am thinking about leaving tech altogether.
I wish I had a plan B, but I’ve devoted my life to being a software engineer and have no idea what else I could do .
It is pretty depressing.
Yeah. I’ve sort of resigned to my world being ruined and everything I ever worked on stolen and sold back to my bosses for the rest of my career.
I just wish there were some way to inflict some fraction of this pain on the people responsible, the people who go to work every day to ruin mine.
