       @aburka Heh, yeah, here's another "ends justifies the means" position."Because it technically can help achieve a goal, we should do it" is a morally bankrupt position.

       @aburka "When I write code I am turning a creative idea into a mechanical embodiment of that idea. I am not creating beauty."Profound disagreement on that one.

       @aburka "Look, coders, we are not writers."Not sure I want to be on a team with him.

       @GeoffWozniak @aburka when I code, it’s 60% craftmanship, 30% art and 10% science. Of course I try to create beauty and a work I want to be proud of later.

       @aburka When he says, "A major goal of free software is for individuals to be able to cause software to behave in the way they want it to" he's leaving off the important part: "that does not bring undue harm to others".

       @aburka @gwozniak it’s sad that this unspoken part has to be explicitly added these days, instead of everyone (save a few deranged ones that always exist anywhere) understanding this implicitly…

       @GeoffWozniak @aburka If you think coders are not writers, I'm not sure you know what "writing" even is. Code is language with syntax, rules, subjects, actions, contexts, subtlety, sentences and paragraphs. Writing a program is telling a story. There are multiple ways to tell it but they should all get the same point across. There are styles and everybody has their own.A good program is art. A human being created it with thought and craft. Do not undersell the craftsmanship required to be good at writing code.Even if you are stringing together things you copied from StackOverflow, you chose what to look for and which solutions to implement. You made a collage which is still art, still a form of creativity.

       @aburka And LLMs do not "enable that" in a reliable or repeatable way.
