To Live In A World Without AI

I’m finding lately that I wish we could go back to pre-ChatGPT… A world without a code-gen easy button, where “easy” was LSP autocomplete, where tools were at my fingertips rather than remote inference endpoints, and where I and everyone I worked with, was paid and judged based on what we could produce with our own 2 hands, even if ctrl + c and ctrl + v was sometimes a common set of keys… it sure beat answering “yes” to a robot every 38 seconds.
