The pitch is, for those that have never coded it’s a gateway into a skill they never wanted to learn

I’m simply whelmed by it

You never hear someone ask “how can a socket wrench help us with this problem”, why do we do it with LLMs?

Spitting bars.

I’m working as a TLM for a company that’s only recently become AI maximalist… I see myself in your writing 🫠

Thanks! It's both reassuring and sad that I'm not the only one going through this at work. Shit's crazy right now.

Thanks for writing it. I've needed to read someone who has had similar experiences and observations. This delivered.
