How else will you find the energy to clean your shower at 3am if there’s no meth?
Give me vi and a reference book and I’ll code in any language you want.
Probably switch to Ritalin and be tired for awhile
As a software developer, even when it comes to significantly more useful and locally-runnable tools like IDEs I would still be able to do without.
Anyone who can’t do their job at all without GenAI tools is a fraud and should resign immediately.
I wonder how long it would take if all hardware and code disappeared for an ide to be made again
ditto
“I never used AI”
"Yeah but imagine AI disappears, how would you do?
“I would still not use it?”
I’ve been a software engineer for 15 years. For the first 13, I was just paid to sit quietly at my desk waiting for Claude Code to be invented.
Imagine if all the meth in the world disappeared tomorrow, then what would you do?
… learn to make meth? Demand would be through the roof.
AI lords imagine every occupation involves using AI all the time.
There’s literally no AI involved in welding shop, except my bosses Asshole Intelligence
Apparently one of the big places it’s found a home is the business consultancy firms. You know, the ones that get paid millions to produce slide decks that say things about “developing synergistic relationships to increase profitability”. Reason is because it allows “leads” to produce all that crap themselves without a huge team of idiot underlings. No change in quality because it was all bullshit anyway.
So now KPMG or PWC or whoever, is going into boardrooms as waxing lyrical on how AI cuts your wage bill. They can’t imagine going back.
cocaine, heroin still exist. plus meth can still be manufactered again, pseudoephidrine, and the ephedra plant.
If all the meth in the world disappeared tomorrow? Well, I’d cook meth, of course – prices should be great now that all the competition is gone and addicts still want it!
waltuh
I would have 2 friends that never got arrested for B&E to fund their meth habit.
They made a manga about me?
Way of the House Husband
Lol AI has made some things faster for me but I still know the OG way of researching.
This is kind of like saying if your bicycles suddenly got taken away, you can’t get to work by walking.
