I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. You were right to call out my criticism of Conde, and hearing more about what their involvement is with Ars does clear that up. My comment about "writing for money" was a poorly worded way for me to say that the writing itself is your career, and specifically writing about current tech. Current tech, unfortunately for my tastes and opinions, does involve a lot of AI now.

As to the rest of your points about not wanting to or not having the time to learn it, I understand. I went through many a tutorial before things started clicking with me. In fact, the only way I made python click for me was combining the abstract code WITH something physical like a screen or lights or buttons. I feel attached to the things I spent the time on because of the blood sweat and tears it took to make them work.

I also think reading the repo sent me into a rage because it looks like all the other claude written code, specifically the worst code I've had to implement from someone who did the whole "works on my computer, your problem now".
