Keep it up folks. Culture is winning this one.

Nice anecdote from the Tailwind team about using AI for a refactor:

But even with all this effort, the results were honestly so inconsistent that I'm absolutely certain that reviewing + polishing all of the work done by the robots took more time than if we just did every single block by hand in the first place πŸ˜†πŸ˜† We signed up for this project thinking that with AI we could do it in maybe ~6 weeks, and it turned out to be more like ~12 weeks. Way more time than I could ever justify on this!

”Your soul will not remain intact while you’re building software that keeps track of undocumented workers. Your soul will not remain intact while building surveillance software whose footage companies hand over to ICE. Your soul will not remain intact while you build software that allows disinformation to spark genocides. Your soul will not remain intact while you hoover up artists’ work to train theft-engines that poison the water of communities in need.β€œ
