@peter i dont know why he wouldnt just have his own moltbot or whatever review it? You can infinitely scale your productivity with more mac minis

@TheServitor @peter But... But... The innovation!

Just use clawdbot /s

@peter @suzannealdrich Totally. If I had a dime for every tale of "I'd almost forgetten how to code it's been so long maaaan, what with my 7-figure VP job in Santa Clara and all…but then I picked up Claude Code and now I'm releasing 80 new apps every hour. This is the greatest thing in the history of mankind!"

@peter And it took barely a week or 2 between this dogshit AI "automaton" was released, alerts that this exact sort of abuse could be pushed and it happening.
The more I hear about AI, the less I understand the concept of FOMO.
I am definitely not missing out on anything.

@enthraxxx @peter you're missing out on all the malware

[enthraxxx@h4.io]

@eruwero @peter Unfortunately, I have my fair share having to use Windows 11 all week, every week.

@peter Came here [via a boost] to say exactly this. I’m LOL-ing and SIGH-ing at the same time.

[eschaton@mastodon.social]

@peter Yeah, I really don’t understand it. I just spent my 40s writing code too, and now at the end of them I’m… writing code, because I never lost it. Just published a new thing yesterday, wrote it in C mostly without even autocomplete since I largely used BBEdit rather than Xcode.

I would be absolutely mortified if I had to use an LLM to be productive, and I would find admitting to using one deeply, deeply shameful.

@peter

Being pretty much exactly one of the stereotypes you describe, I like it because I can quickly bang out ideas I’ve had for years without all the drudgery.

Most ideas never came to fruition because I dreaded plowing through a bunch of boilerplate code.

Helping other developers solve complex problems makes me feel like I still got it.

[drwave@mastodon.social]

@peter @GeekAndDad What part of this is surprising?

[aaron@social.aaroncrocco.com]

@peter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[pare@kamu.social]

@eschaton @peter For some reason, thinking and even taking simple joy in making things seem to be horrible things to avoid for some people.

@peter "Chat, make this shit you built for me more secure, so I don't get sued to hell. And get it right, pretty please? I don't have time to read all that code."

There, vibe-prompted that for him
