unless it's actually learning how generative AI works. everyone should look it up. we would all be better for it.

Most people don't have the mental capacity for programming. If they try to shoehorn themselves into it, they'll fail miserably.

No need to advise anyone. If they have the type of brain to program, they do it or tried it and didn't like it.

You can be very smart but not have a programmer's brain

Lol. Writer. Same.

In my experience, it's more like smug elitism. "I program mostly in Ghjklasdf#*, Qwertyuiop, and Zk(zzz) 2.0, you wouldn't have heard of them, they're terribly advanced."

“You should learn technical literacy” - says the doomer/foomer AI person ;)

But politicians are like "you should learn to code"

holdingassumption.bsky.social•85 days ago

You should learn the terms artist, scientist, and programmer 😇

olafurw.com•85 days ago

Maybe I know the terms and used them that way for extra comedic effect. Maybe don't hold the assumption that I don't know words.

It’s maybes all the way down! I was simply poking fun, hence the awful (and clearly not obvious enough) usage of the angel emoji. My apologies for upsetting you.

olafurw.com•85 days ago

I read the angel emoji as "holier than thou" Sorry.

holdingassumption.bsky.social•85 days ago

All good, I understand how it can be seen that way 😅

When coding is good, it’s really enjoyable. But when it’s bad, holy shit does it make me want to jump out a window

Lawyers also out here being like "you do not want to become a lawyer"

alphistia.bsky.social•86 days ago

I met a former lawyer who became a social worker, specializing in helping lawyers get out of the profession completely...

randyhermanlaw.com•86 days ago

I am a lawyer and probably will continue to be until I die, but it is not for everyone

I would never tell someone to learn art. The only artists telling others to learn art are the ones charging for lessons.

My dad tried to talk me into going into coding, but I watched this man hate his life for 35 years, then go full maga.

Hard pass.

Programming can be really fun, but we've drown ourselves in complexity and tooling...
