Armin was once one of the most prolific programmers in Python. Says he never writes code anymore. Seeing more and more people like him write stuff like this on what are supposedly computer programming forums. lobste.rs/s/qmjejh/ai_is_slowl

Notably, once a person crosses this threshold, I see them still hang out on programming forums, but they never talk about any of the puzzles of programming anymore. Only about running agents. Which feels strange and sad. Why hang out on the forums at all then?

AI is slowly munching away my passion

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @jalefkowitJason Lefkowitz in Armin's case specifically, a not-insubstantial part of the answer seems to be sneering at people who don't use "AI" (including here on Mastodon)

That's not a very charitable read, but I have run out of charity for the way he has performed his enthusiasm to the community

I'm seeing the same thing in some of the Python spaces I inhabit. The users who go all-in on it stop talking about programming.
