Most coding isn’t writing code. It’s reading docs written by someone who almost explained it. It’s staring at logs that say "undefined error" It’s fixing something you broke while fixing something else. But that's where the skill is built. Keep pushing through the mess — that's how we level up. 👨‍💻🚀

from one of my alums: "mentoring an intern for the summer and they put up a PR with tests that failed CI I asked if it passed locally, and the they said they never actually ran the tests they used AI to write the code, thought it looked okay, and just submitted without testing anything"

If Gen AI is reducing employment of entry level tech workers because experienced workers are more productive, what happens when they retire or leave the industry? Who's making the "more experienced tech workers"?

Sometimes you just have to stop and appreciate knowledge and just knowing shit. That human doing all kinds of wizard shit with chemistry, music, basketballs, their fists, engineering, art, their emotional intelligence, etc. at one point lacked the knowledge to even avoid shitting on themselves.

We gotta bring back respect for knowledge, the joy in the pursuit of it, and the desire to be excellent in our crafts on principle.
