Students learning to code should not use LLMs because the stuff that the LLMs are good at is the stuff you should be practicing. Learning a language takes practice. Shortcuts deprive you of that practice.

I want to springboard off of your post, as a random person living in the US, if that is okay. This is to the international community. There are many people here in the United States who want to take action, they do care, but they are scared of the consequences. They see all the people around them going on about their business, the siren call of normalcy bias makes wanting to go about your normal life irresistible. There are also a lot of people, myself included, who live in predominantly red (as in fascist republican) areas that believe when they start pushing back it could lead to hardship and ruin. We are a heavily corporate controlled society that has been plied with bread and circuses for far too long. That's why it is important that we, including the international community, keep shouting from the rooftops that this is not normal. There are answers to our fears here in the states. Efforts like mutual aid and grassroots networks of like-minded individuals. I see this happening. I'm personally working hard to get myself into a position where I can be more effective, and I try to encourage other people doing that. We don't have to attack the entire thing. We can pool our individual talents for the benefit of the wider resistance movement. But, again, we're still learning what all this means and how to do it. Because it's not like in the movies we all grew up on, the ones that lied to us and told us we were all just embarrassed heroes, or main characters. It's very different when the production isn't being directed by Steven Spielberg. All I ask is, please do not give up on us. You're disappointed, angered, frustrated, pissed off, etc, at the lack of the average American's response to this dive into a fascist state that America is turning in to. I get that. I share those feeling. Just please don't give up on those of us who know this is bad but are having to learn resistance from the ground up.

Mastodon is my online echo chamber of people who give a crap about what happens to other people. My long inaccessible FB account was my glimpse closer to reality of a world where people DGAF about other people. Endless posts about beach vacations, lunch, new purchases. I had to leave FB because it got too much. I preferred to believe that more people were like me. But this is also an illusion. I finally understand how concentration camps came to be and how life carried on despite it. My own sibling in the US has told me that things are "pretty normal" where he is. I don't see how people around you getting arrested, your government literally building a concentration camp and flying people to foreign lands can be classified as "normal". But he just goes about his business. All he cared about was paying less taxes and making money. He will soon discover the cost of 'normal' was having scientists keep track of diseases and prevent their outbreaks, educators toiling to maintain an educated workforce, air traffic controllers keeping planes from falling out of the sky. All he ever saw were the dollars that things cost him, not the benefits, direct or indirect. As things falls apart, he won't care until it affects him personally. It will be too late. As long as he can keep doing his work, running his business, selling his stuff... it's all "normal" But he is a better reflection of "normal" than I am. The army of people who care here are outside the norms. And it's the inertia of not caring that allows horrors to go on. The gatekeepers of media will make sure the population continues to care as little as possible. They will keep showing us beach photos and handbag purchases. Distributed information sharing like Mastodon will be important in any kind of resistance efforts as the information will still be visible. Then the next challenge is getting people who don't think any of this is important to care. You don't need everyone, but enough people. You need people who just want to get to work and do their thing to think that the lives of other people are worthy of caring about.

If I look at the work I've been doing this week, maybe 5% of my time was spent writing the code that I eventually shipped. The rest was spent understanding the problem space, researching potential solutions and their impacts on other production systems, consulting with domain experts, waiting for pipelines to pass, learning about edge cases I hadn't considered, then doing it again. The code I shipped is trivial, an LLM could've written it 10x faster. Everything else? Still needs a human.

I don't wanna hear "free and open Web" anymore, lol. Shit is not free, and it's as open as a few companies permit.

And bullshit market econ of a race to the bottom for browsers has led us here. I'll be *shocked* to see any government even adept enough to consider funding a Web engine for development, only because there's going to be lobbyists at every turn trying to crush that from even being proposed (again: fuck lobbying, all of it is literal bribery, leave the choice to the people on how their money is spent)unspecified horror

I strongly believe fighting to return to the status quo in the midst of this current upheaval is a losing game. The talent and knowledge the government is expunging isn’t vanishing off the face of the earth. It still exists. Imagine if that talent could be organized outside of the auspices of the state. Imagine what would happen to the empire if it was starved of our skills and abilities to propagate itself. Because rich people don’t have skills. We do.

USpol, trans rights
The Pennsylvania State Senate is trying to introduce a new bill, SB.213, known as the "Two Gender Protection Act". This bill is meant to erase any existence of trans, nonbinary, and intersex people. And it's absolutely fucking vile and disgusting. Trans people exist. Nonbinary people exist. Intersex people exist. They all deserve rights and a peaceful existence. Christofascists are trying to destroy society. We can't let them. The bill can be seen on the state website: https://www.legis.state.pa.us//cfdocs/Legis/CSM/showMemoPublic.cfm?chamber=S&SPick=20250&cosponId=45218 If you're in Pennsylvania, call your reps at 1-866-581-7519 and tell them to vote "NO" on this bill. Outside the state? Call them anyway and give them an earful. Bills like this should not be allowed to pass! Fight them every time they rear their ugly heads! The trans community needs allies. Stand up for trans rights; they are human rights! Be the rust upon the gears of fascism! USpol, trans rights
