my argument is that i couldn’t code real useful programs myself my whole life, and i tried several times, fail computer science in college etc, and now with claude im actually getting these things built – and there’s a lot of pitfalls a few times i had to tell claude to start over but i guess i feel like a paraplegic who could never walk but now with an accessible car i can actually drive and im sorry that’s putting a lot of horse carriage drivers out of business.
and im my IRL circle, a couple of my friends who were great at coding in college and are now master coders, they’re not complaining about it at all – they’re able to spin up ten agents at once to do things much faster than they were able to three years ago. they all have startup side businesses now on top of their full time industry job, only possible due to coding AIs helping them get shit done faster.

That doesn’t address the climate or jobs question though, both require organizing
