This post, ironically, seems very likely to have been written by an LLM :/

"it's not x, but y", with bonus em-dash:

> your value as a developer is not in your ability to ship code. It’s in your ability to look at code

"But here’s the thing."

"And honestly?"

Somebody said "once you learn to recognize this pattern you'll see it everywhere." I was half hoping I never would; now that I do I'm sure it will be depressing to read most web content generated after 2023. Sigh.

This is why humanity can't have nice things -- it's not X (because we break them like careless children), but Y (we make cheap crappy copies that push out the good and the real).

But here's the thing. No, actually, there is no other thing. This is our future now.

And honestly? I think I'll go talk that that guy I knew in high school and see if he's willing to train a new welder.

I think so. Just go to the homepage, all of the thumbnails are AI generated with clickbaity titles.

There appears to be a cottage industry in pumping out "LLMs will eat your skills; listen to me, the wise senior engineer with the same anxieties" pieces.

That's the same style. Plays well there, tho, it seems. Even when an agent writes it.
