I'm not. Write it yourself!
To hell with 'AI'.
From the first moment you start asking an AI to write the code for you, you stop learning, start deskilling yourself, and start becoming dependent... which inevitably leads to you paying them cash.
Someone I know told me recently, that the latest thing in a company he knows, is for the employees to spend their own wages, out of hours, when they are at home in the evening, paying an AI to write code for their work assignments; in order to try to prove to the boss they are more 'productive' than their fellow programmers. Then they take the code into work in the morning and pretend they wrote it themselves. They are literally using their own paychecks to pay for the AI to write code, so the boss can make money. In other words, sheer desparation and fear of unemployment. (On the plus side, it's probably more reliable than 'microdosing' acid!
)
I meant the coding harnesses like opencode, pi, hermes etc.
FreeBSD is left out. Sadly, because I would prefer it to be the underlying OS - jails, zfs would make it more secure and managable.
Also letting it generate pf rules is better on bare metal - not copying through putty, cutting yourself off because Ai dream about electric sheep or something.
We are entering Calculator debate.
Stephen Wolfram had interesting insight. If you calculate integrals by hand, it is all very nice but you can only do a few that way. If you use a program, you can observe the behavior of thousands of integrals. Thus more likely to understand what it is really all about.
Similar to understanding programming. You change program and observe how the output changes. That is how I learned. But I was limited by time - had to copy the code from a book in early days even.
Reducing real world problem in to algorithm is the goal. Diagram used to be what educators made us do first. After that the exact language syntax is mostly irrelevant if the machine (compiler or Ai) can generate it. I never learned punch cards. And did exactly one line of opcode - cracking some floppy disk copy protection (condition for bad sector detection)
Employer is employer because he provides tools for you. If you bring your own excavator, you are contractor, not employee.
This gets murky in cyber or intellectual space. I know people who refuse to do stuff until company pays for education i.e. learning new MS Word.
It is weapons race. Similar to what I experienced in high school. People using cheat-sheets got better grades and the tests got increasingly difficult. Ended up with everyone having elaborate cheat-sheets for every subject and the tests got so bulky, you were just copying without thought.
Excavators exist. Do you want to remain a shovel digger? Buy excavator and over night excavate the patch you will be digging tomorrow.
Ban excavators, sabotage them or find yourself better job and dig holes on weekends as hobby. It is useful survival skill during diesel fuel shortage. So is archery, horse riding, fire making, map reading, trap constructing and in head multiplication.
