Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Before LLMs came along no one cared what tools I did or didn't use at work. Hell will freeze over before I let a text predictor write code for me even if that eventually costs me a job. I'm the sort who can't stand any sort of auto-completion or other typing "help", much less spending all my time reviewing LLM output.
LLMs are the next wave of popups here in the second quarter of the 21st century. I've become skilled at removing all the requests to let AI help me in whatever I'm actively doing. I about lost it recently when Excel threw one at me at work. NO, I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP!
Having a better guided search in a help feature I don't mind. But stop pushing it in everything, just have a way to get to it (and have it WORK when I use it!)
