This is the world where the popularity of AI and robot slurs has skyrocketed, being thrown at everything from ChatGPT servers to delivery drones to automated customer service representatives.

David Guillot<p>Hey developers, please click on articles and read before reacting 🤦.</p><p>Github CEO didn't urge you to "Embrace AI or leave Github", he urged you to "Embrace AI or stop being a programmer".</p><p>The action we should decide from that quote is not leaving Github or promote Codeberg ; we should all have done these things long ago anyway.</p><p>The actions we should decide from that provocation is to stand against anyone telling us how to do our job (= micromanagement) and anyone who predicts/dictates the future based on their financial interests. We should show them how diverse our practices are, how being a programmer is much more than coding, and how wrong and ridiculous they are.</p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/developers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>developers</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/programmers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>programmers</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/github" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>github</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/resistai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>resistai</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/micromanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>micromanagement</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/dictatorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dictatorship</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a></p>
