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.

They would like to describe what they want and receive Whatever — some beige sludge that vaguely resembles it. That isn’t programming, though. That’s management, a fairly different job. I’m not interested in managing. I’m certainly not interested in managing this bizarre polite lying daydream machine.

This is where I am right now. They are pushing AI hard at work, even shaming people that haven't signed up for copilot. They brought in some MS rep to tell us how the future of work was going to be wrangling AI agents. This is not the future that I want.
