Dear Steve Yegge,
In a recent blog post you wrote about your certainty that anyone not using LLMs to do their heavy lifting will be left behind.
I would like to make a counterproposal. It is you who will be left behind, and in fact you already have been. For one thing it seems like you no longer know how to write. Your post was a ramble. To people who have made insightful and incisive commentary you have responded with blather. Instead of optimism you now preach cynicism, and I can't help but think you don't even believe it yourself judging by the half-heartedness of your rhetoric. Your worthless blog post didn't even bother to address its own central question: how could a business possibly survive when it ceases to invest in its human element?
Instead of empowering people with literacy and expression you now believe in making them drones who are helpless without a machine to think for them. Instead of valuing the deeply intertwined relationship between creativity and hard work you now believe that the person who can shit out the most derivitive content will certainly win.
I have only one piece of advice for you now. Quit while you have some of your soul left.
With love,
A stubborn-ass developer, inventor, and unapolagetic human being
