You might as well just not buy any software after 2025.
Its unrealistic to have any developer not use ai in any way in 2025. The tool is too useful and has too much power to be ignored. Even if you wanted to, every google search on how to fix some bug comes with an ai summary. Every IDE uses autocomplete. Having an AI review my personal code has had me fix bugs before i even test.
Its true there is alot of AI slop and low effort projects, but how its being used and to what level matter. Its not black and white. Linus Torvald, the creator of linux, one of, if not the smartest programmer on earth is using it.
As a developer in critical infrastructure we are prohibited to use it. Software was written before and writing the code was never the problem, it’s nearly always scope changes
did you know autocomplete doesn’t have to use ai? we have invented this thing called a language server that can tell us about relevant things to write
I can’t avoid some of my tools or dependencies using AI in their development but I can go as far as possible in not using it when I am making my own stuff. That includes searching only in engines that won’t show me AI summaries.

Linus has been sundowning for awhile. The fact he fell in love with the slop machine that almost makes it feel like he’s in his prime again shouldn’t surprise anybody

Ah yes… critical infrastructure and games are the same…
My point isnt that ai is great or bad. Its a tool with certain uses, and treating it like black and white is a terrible take.

That’s a great appeal to authority.
