I'm shocked it didn't occur to me to wonder whether it had been AI-extruded, until I saw everyone else talking about it. The thought of passing on advice, which I myself first received about a generation ago, really was as far as I got.
On the other hand, I have yet to take on a client this year, and so my perspective on AI developments at the IC level is mildly idiosyncratic; I know a grain of salt is required, but not how large a one, and my own experiments reveal a radically different set of capabilities and drawbacks than the technology's manic or epistaxic boosters like to describe.
Judging by what I'm seeing lately here and elsewhere, the workaday tech industry world must be developing into a genuinely horrifying grind, and I'm glad to be out of it.
