As an aside, I recall the early days when @SwiftOnSecurity was purposely ambiguous about the distinction between the artist Taylor Swift and their technology tweets. It was delicious to see confused responses.

At some point it changed. Not sure what triggered that. I have a vague memory of a stroke, but I might be misremembering.

I agree with the last point tbh

At the bare minimum, if you aren't capable of contributing to the library you use, then you don't deserve to use it.

Wait till they find out what software 'architects' really do.

I used to joke with my niece that my programming job was just me staring at screens and meetings all day. She didn't believe me until she got to shadow me one day and got super bored.

It's not as easy as it sounds, sometimes the screens are all wrong!! https://xkcd.com/722/

It's mind bending that there are actual humans on the planet, paid a shit tonne more than software developers, who not only believe the parody highlighted by @SwiftOnSecutity, but treat and share it as gospel, acting on it with nutjob metrics to "increase productivity" whilst salivating over the hyperbole around "AI" that is sweeping the globe, dreaming of a better world.

One without those pesky developers with their brains, thoughts and opinions.

But, what do I know, I've been in this profession for only 40 years..

Aren’t IT people just janitors that tell you to turn it off and back on again?
