What sucks most to me about these posts is their contributions are being overshadowed (to say the least) by abstraction, modules, libraries, and now artificial idiocy. Students will never know the people who made this field possible. All they'll know is register an account and type an f'd up prompt.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://oldbytes.space/users/c64whiz/statuses/116202774870010032 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
