When talking about #AI, #LLMs, Effects on #SoftwareEngineering & the state of dev jobs I really believe that you shouldn’t come of like you are on Ketamine nor communicate in a style like Joni Ernst, Trump or Elon. While people may indeed talk about you, I’m pretty confident this isn’t a winning strategy.
If you don’t know who/what I am talking about just know in Silicon Valley some tech folks are today very much jumping feet first into the Trump/Elon approach to PR & comms.
Ugh, so tiresome
