The more you bang any drum, the more noise you are responsible for. If you really care about not using AI, just don't use it. It makes no difference when your sprint still ends next week anyway.

I don't necessarily refuse to use AI, but I am fully aware it's basically a search engine with a modernized "I'm feeling lucky" button (or a decision tree of such buttons when me or my scripts are interacting with it). I don't think that's always the correct choice, but sometimes it is.

It's that simple.

"Slop" primarily means low-quality, mass-produced digital content generated by artificial intelligence.

yes. yes I am.

I really don’t like 90% of stuff “AI” bring today, but employers today are literally forcing you to use them.

Either way this person has a wildly different take on how they think decent engineers are utilising LLMs in a professional capacity.

There is no author attribution to this webpage?

I feel strongly that I can't take a community challenge seriously if the author can't bother with an author attribution.

It's fun :)

The side effect was I was fully cut off from my AI tools for those two weeks. I was coding "manually" during that time, and I think I accompished in two weeks what I previously had been able to do in a day. I'm not gonna lie, it was very, very stressful as a solo founder.

The industry moves so fast these days, that the only way to keep up with the speed is to leverage them. While I can appreciate the push of this to help your brain think independently/critically, the opportunity cost of a month of development without LLMs is too high a price to pay.
