Reading this article I couldn't help but think of a fantastic talk I found quite motivating by Andrew Kelley, Don't Take The Black Pill.
In it he talks about staying in the game, keeping strong voices advocating for good and positive change, and how stepping back, while a valid protection mechanism concedes the victory to whatever it is that's exhausting us.
Thanks, I watched his presentation before but now I understand what it meant. I think we will have great software engineers who will take the black pill and it might just be temporary. The coding itch won't go away. AI slop is very exhausting and we are not used to this new environment they just need a break. I really miss working with them.
