So are we just letting go and having clankers write everything now while we have other clankers "explain" it to us? Just collectively, "fuck it" ?

The software I use day to day is just getting worse and worse, and I can only guess that AI is accelerating that problem. Like I can barely convince spotify to play a full album anymore without it "failing to play a song", crashing, or play without audio underruns. We're so screwed if we can't even play audio smoothly in 2026.

Sorry, just ranting. But I see tools like this that are basically encouraging people to "let go" of understanding what exactly your code is doing, and continue to let the robot pile more and more code on top of the bad abstractions we already have.
