I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

I'm done using AI

Why I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.

if i get one more “just use ai” when talking about a massive overhaul of an in-house app (this case, migrating a whole javescript library because the one the previous app team used has been out of service since 2022…when they were still there), i’m going to lose it

unrelated to Knee Broken: my dear friend and go-to catsitter Kay is fundraising to secure a near-term place to live. she's an indigenous trans woman who has had a hell of a year and could use a hand. i know we are all passing around the same $10 but please consider helping if you can.

Donate to Help Kay move and avoid going homeless, organized by Kay Pomey

love asking someone at work who’s in charge of the team responsible for servers and being told to do it myself because “there are countless ai tools out there for you to do it yourself” (involves uninstalling and reinstalling an application on a server computer)

walked in on my ten year old brother playing roblox on his ipad while his friend was watching ai generated food reels on the living room tv. truly the brainrot generation
