CHILD
Children get a lot of things wrong: they cannot understand all kinds of nuances and considerations that belong to the adult world. But there are also ways in which children know things that adults routinely forget, which is why their perspective deserves to be brought to bear on many of our sharpest dilemmas. To generalise, children tend to care more about love and cosiness than fame and power. They want things to be fun. They are innately very forgiving; they make a lot of mistakes and consider them a natural part of how things go. They’re innocent and tender. They are easily moved. They’re sentimental. They are often attuned to the suffering of others. They can be very caring to those who love them. It can be helpful, when struggling with a dilemma, to ask oneself how a child might see it.

CAUTION
Somewhere around the table of every decision sits the voice of Caution. It wears dowdy clothes and speaks quietly. It lacks glamour in an age of bravado and bombast. It can be easy to feel that we must always jump, because life has to be about trying the new. But it may not be. Caution reminds us that most new businesses fail, most schemes end in disaster and most relationships rehash the themes of the current unsatisfactory one. There is a huge amount to lose and there are many people around us who may get hurt by our ambitions. The devil one knows may just have the edge over the many demons one does not. Caution does not look down on the idea of compromise: it recognises that there are no ideal options for the imperfect beings we ultimately are. Caution has the bravery to not always rebel against reality.#phylosophy

@vie I think part of the logic is that a lot of developers have low self-confidence. If you believe that you're not as good as your peers, it seems attractive to defer part of the work to a machine that presents all its answers with certainty. It lessens your perceived burden and you can lean on its apparent confidence. It's actually bluffing away, an unreliable source compared to intentionally written documentation and a much worse programmer than the nonconfident human, but when you lack confidence, this is harder to recognize.
It's a sad vicious cycle where the nonconfident becomes dependent and even less confident as a result. However, I think we need to recognize these people as victims of a trap rather than blaming them for it. It's mainly the marketing rhetoric of the genAI vendors that is at fault. The "mystery AI hype theater", as @emilymbender aptly calls it.
Tip for all humans: "On Confidence" from The School of Life is a sweet, smart, funny, heart-warming little book that you can read in an hour. It might also boost your confidence a bit. Buy multiple copies, give it away to friends and colleagues, bring it to work, on your travels and to the toilet, read it multiple times. One of the best books I've read.

After reading a bunch of #introduction 's, I just want to send big happy vibes to all the folks out there who can't (or dont want to) describe themselves in a single sentence. 🤩🤩🤩 All the polymaths, jack's of all trades, #schooloflife students, and the folk who haven't worked out what they want to do when they grow up. You're my people! May you continue to confound the Algorithms, get confusing ad suggestions, may your bios be long and unfocussed 😁
