Yet today, there's not many places to find open discussion and disclosures that otherwise would have seen the light of day in this age of "ethical hacking".

Jesus that's brutal. Accurate. But I feel attacked ;p

I'm writing this at 4am on a Friday night (Saturday morning now I guess), hacking up a next-gen Faxing platform. Had it on my mind for years and never had the time for the coding or the research I needed to fill in the gaps in my knowledge.

Claude has made my coding sessions WAY more productive and helps me find bugs and plan features like never before.

I'm also dealing with some career bullshit, so having a tool like this has helped me re-discover what I love about computing that capitalism has beaten out of me.

Open Source has a...sigma of lack of quality documentation, encouraging presumably first-time contributors to just use Claude to get a PR isn't actually helping as much as it appears to be. As someone who deals with piles of AI slop submitted by junior sysadmins and devs, the amount of crap I reject is astounding and they always cite posts such as this that encourage this sort of development. Drive-by-developers is what I call them, as they are not invested in the project, only in the PR for the visibility and gettin' dem stars.

Maybe I'm way off base here, I'm old and grizzled and I think it's showing. ;p
