Have you ever found a GitHub project or anything that seemed nice and tempting to install until you dug a bit deeper?
What are some red flags that should detur anyone from installing and running something?

Uh, I’m working at one.
That was quick.
Are they hiring?
Yes, regularly. Company is based in Northern Scandinavia, but German-owned.
And? I didn’t say it was impossible. I said “good luck”
What do you mean “and?”?
I didn’t say you said it was impossible lol. You said good luck, implying it’s hard, I said I found one immediately because I’m working at one. And I know several other companies and workplaces, too.
It’s not hard. Take the L.
The tech job market is awful right now and you know it. And you also know most tech companies ARE followers forcing their devs to use AI because that’s the industry trend and that’s what tech companies do.
Your original comment was totally disingenuous and you’re mad that you got a disingenuous response? Lol. If it were that easy I’d be gone already but it isn’t.
I know the tech job market is tough, but it’s not universally like that. My comment was not disingenuous, in my opinion. But we may have different perspectives and that’s fine. It’s just not hard for me to find a workplace where they aren’t forcing AI down my throat.
I don’t know that “most tech companies” are forcing their devs to use AI, no. Maybe the big ones? I don’t know of any in my local area who would be so stupid. All I hear right now with the latest talk around me is how do we use AI responsibly. And how do we utilize it for the right problems and the right reasons.
It might be like this in America where it’s all about growth growth growth and where everyone is sorta struggling right now, but in my part of the world we’re chilling a bit just yet. I know many of my peers who are hard into AI, but all I hear is that it’s mediocre at best at solving the hard problems.
So I’m sitting tight. I don’t need AI for my work at all, as a web dev. I know what I’m doing and I enjoy my craft and my deliveries have high quality and low code mass. I’m not interested in letting a robot do my work for me and I be the code reviewer for the rest of my career (the boring part). Hell to the naw. I want to do the fun stuff, be creative and solve problems. That’s why I became a programmer in the first place.
An AI is not as up-to-date on the current web standards as I am anyway. Most of the code it’s spitting out is legacy garbage because that’s what it’s been trained on. The web platform moves too fast.
