Ooh, that title reminds me of one of my favourite catchphrases. “The biggest lie you were ever told about the Cold War, is that the American people won, not just the global bourgeoisie.”

We are known for “walls of text”.

Tbf, if you’re good at that and getting paid decently for it, it probably wouldn’t suck that bad. There’s definitely people out there who enjoy fixing/rewriting broken code. Fixing broken stuff is a real thrill for some folks.

But it does suck that programmers good at other areas of programming, who prefer working on stuff that already works or coding new things from scratch, will end up being expected instead to fix chatbot slop.

And you only even try to set up #1 after #2 causes a catastrophic data loss, or costs you five times as much wasted time finding a file that’s causing problems.
