@janl@narrativ.es At a recent software conference, keynote speakers/panelists kept saying how AI is "democratizing" software development. But the examples were always "now the CEO can write software too!" and "our token bill is only $25,000/month" and "yeah we did some layoffs, but we weren't going to hire for those roles anyway." I must have a very different understanding of "democratizing": it usually isn't so capital intensive and doesn't usually mean giving power to owners at the expense of workers.
