I suspect the problem is that there are many developers nowadays who don’t care about code quality, actual engineering, and maintenance. So the people who are complaining are right to be concerned that there is going to be a ton of slop code produced by AI-bro developers, and the developers who actually care will be left to deal with the aftermath. I’d be very happy if lead developers are prepared to try things with AI, and importantly to throw the output away if it doesn’t meet coding standards. Instead I think even lead developers and CTOs are chasing “productivity” metrics, which just translates to a ton of sloppy code.

If you have the time to watch the episode with a transgender person, I’d be interested to hear how you felt about that.

I agree the fascists need to be defeated. I think the value in this project is that it would allow people on the other side to see that we’re all on the same team when it comes to the fight against fascism.
