You are starting your point by saying you are perceiving a lot of developers advocating for gen AI. I am saying I don’t see that many actual, professional developers doing so, I actually see a lot who don’t, and I also see a lot of “not developers” who do. Yes, the AI bros are very vocal. They also don’t represent “developers”.
Well, now we’re at the point where we both only have anecdotes and I’d have to take your word over my memories from numerous discussions over the last years. While artists are actively protesting, for non-devs it looks like developers are, in large numbers, at least okay with AI. That’s probably what DevilsPanties is observing. Hence the comic.
Developers have had easy employment for a long time, and it’s only beginning to turn to shit.
We simply aren’t used to protest a lot. It’s starting though. Look at the video game developers starting to unionize, for now it’s still making news when they do.
So, where are those in your assessment? Because they clearly aren’t developers.
Sorry, I don’t follow. This may sound like snark in writing, but it’s not meant to be: who is where in what? Who isn’t a developer?
