They use generative AI for assets in their website and require potential devs to use AI in their workflow. Fuck em.

From where did you get that?

From the job posting.
"Active use of AI tools in daily development workflows, and enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption"

If you want to ditch every software company/vendor that uses LLM code tools, you may want to never touch software ever again.

Doomposting about AI inevitability is only beneficial to AI companies... If your claim is even true. And if it is, we should shame everybody else.

It's not doomposting, it's realistic. LLMs will provide true aids to developers, and already do. They excel at formal languages, that's what they are designed for. I'm not talking about vibe coding, I'm talking formatters, style guides, linters, boilerplates, translation, configuration etc.

You're on a post about Linux, an OS that's grown in popularity thanks to Microsoft ruining Windows with the "true aids" you're promoting here.

Whatever MS bakes into Windows is not what I listed above. Spin up a local LLM trained on your code base and try using it.

Sounds like a regular software development job where instead of being a Luddite, people use the latest technology for the job.

If your morals and ethics can be changed by inevitability then what's that say about you?

What's the opposite of a Luddite? Hey, if you enjoy bending over and letting techbros do with you what they will, don't expect me to provide any lube. Now run along and ask ChatGPT how you should feel about this response.

No thanks AI bro.
I don't buy your evidence-free praise of AI. And I don't buy your No True Scotsman fallacy.

Luddites didn't fear technology, they feared for the commoditisation of manual labour and they were dead on right as pauperism followed.
