@zkat ".. they have the perception of coding a bit better/faster. That's all it took."
That's what keeps me up at night, yeah. Fascists are taking over everything, everyone and everything is under threat, and we need allies. And yet, everyone gives up not even out of motivated self-interest, but over the mere suggestion that they in the future *may* profit.

@xgranade @zkat yeah, that’s what’s been bizarre to me as well. i guess many people have done their own trial period but it often seems like there’s an extremely strong presumption it will let you go faster and that’s enough for people to embrace it. like i feel like there was often this idea that if you’re writing a script to replace a manual process you should consider measuring it and make sure you‘re actually saving time but I don’t notice a lot of measuring going on.
