@nicuveo@tech.lgbt Glad to hear, then -- at first it sounded like the implication was that someone with a different read of the path from yours must necessarily have "brainworms". Which... Yeah, not cool. :/ The Claude thing, I can perhaps shed some light on. As of only weeks ago, the models passed a threshold where I think they are now viable for their stated purpose. My assessment before that was that they would always just decohere too fast for actual serious code generation to stringent standards. And fuck it, but I now think I was wrong. :/ That's seismic, and changes two big things, IMO. One, people who were in opposition on purely technical grounds, are gonna change sides, yeah. And two, the battle lines have shifted majorly and pretty much overnight. I think we lost the fight for whether codegen will become a standard feature of SWE positions, and we lost it decisively. Abstaining will be hard like abstaining from capitalism is hard and for the same reasons. So yeah, people will move on to the next battle.
