@camertron@ruby.social Absolutely.
Democratized software development is being able to develop software using good, reliable tools for roughly $0.
As I have for a long, long time.
Meanwhile, devs are having to pay $$$, with costs now skyrocketing, to "build" software completely beholden to a handful of slop machines. Makes zero sense. (And no, "my employer pays for the tokens" is not an excuse!)

@jaredwhite@indieweb.social Agree! I'm at RubyConf right now and someone literally said they don't remember how to use vim anymore because they haven't written code by themselves in a year. I refuse to get caught with my pants down when this all explodes.
