Started as a Mechanical Engineer but turned to the dark side and became a programmer straight out of college.

Long time Sci Fi fan, with side interest in Urban fantasy, interested in 3D Modelling (Blender and CAD) and VR and may actually make a game one of these days if I can ever stop obsessively playing Factorio.

Been a trope in the AI booster circle for a while.

If LLM coding assistants aren't working for you, you have to be doing it wrong, you must be using an outdated model or you aren't prompting it correctly.

Its all your fault!

And just you wait in 1, 3 or 6 months from now these things will be soooo good it'll be transcendental

From Thomas Ptacek's article "My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts", Published June 2025

"First, we need to get on the same page. If you were trying and failing to use an LLM for code 6 months ago †, you’re not doing what most serious LLM-assisted coders are doing."
