I can already tell the guy is a huge fan of cheeto prez.

So, I use Github to host some very simple projects, such as my world map running with Leaflet.

Is there another place that would let me easily and freely do this?

I don't get it. AI is a tool. My CEO didn't care about what tools I use, as long as I got the job done. Why do they suddenly think they have to force us to use a certain tool to get the job done? They are clueless, yet they think they know what we need.

does "embracing AI" means replacing all these execs with it? or is it "too far"?

I see Microsoft don't need developers and those who work there are morons. That's how I read what Github CEO said.

I am embracing AI. For better or worse, it's here to stay. The issue with the current AI models is that they are over-hyped. It would just lead to a bubble burst like had happened with dotcom. The full capability of AI will probably improve in ten or fifteen years.

If they intend to pay me the same amount to work slower and think less, that's their choice and I will be happy to help them out pursuing it. ChatGPT, explain to my boss how I'm using AI for everything I work on now.

So glad I'm a giant fuck up and went to school for coding but never did anything with it, at least I don't have to deal with finding a new job now because fuck all this AI shit.

A few years ago, there was potential for dirty looks coming your way if you suggested that you may be using AI for generating code. Soon, it’s going to be frowned upon to boast that you don’t use AI tools (because you’re probably wasting time).

I remember when the barrier to entry as a software developer was the cost of tools like compilers. You had to rely on your school or employer to provide them. Most often, people pirated them. With current AI, pirating is not an option.

In the US, everyone is much more prosperous than they were 50 years ago. They don't blink about paying $50/month for a personal phone plan. They pay for multiple streaming plans. They have money coming out their ears. So paying $20-100/month might not discourage a lot of would-be vibe coders. But I don't think this is the case as much in other parts of the world.

Like it or not, agents are shaping up to be important tools. In a world with free IDEs, free forges, free compilers, etc. , the playing field is about to become less level. It's a bit of a momentum check.

Ah yes, the noble Caveman Coder, hunched over their keyboard like it’s a slab of stone, grunting at a missing semicolon for the past three hours. Meanwhile, the AI user already built the same app, deployed it, A/B tested it, and had time for a coffee break and existential crisis. But no worries, Caveman insists “real coders solve things manually” as they slowly reinvent the wheel...... square-shaped, of course. Fire bad. IDE scary. AI tool? “Witchcraft! Burn the witch 🧹

Wait so you guys choose to sit and code something for a month instead of for a day? I don't have that kinda time and I need to make money fast. What took me a month now takes me a day. AI has reduced my workload by 90%

Fuck manual typing and muscle memory and hundreds of hours infront of a screen. Only 0.43% of the population can write code. I am safe. I will never lose the ability and my services will always be needed.

At the rate that ppl are now developing programs you WILL be left in the dark ages typing everything manually. I have a wife to please and adventures that await.
