Sure you can. But you're going to have a bad time.
Why do I want to publish my team's ai usage with this random site? It's all risk and no upside.
Or maybe the only people left opposing AI are so hardcore against it they form their identity (username) around it
AI is a powerful tool. Depending on what I need I use chatgpt, in-ide agents, or a platform like Devin.ai.
I use it when it helps me advance my goals. I don't when it doesn't. Sometimes it misses the mark and I scale back and have it do a specific piece and I'll do the rest.
Sometimes I use it to analyze the code base in seconds vs minutes. Sometimes I use it to pinpoint a bug fast.
Ive solved customer issues in seconds and minutes with it vs hours.
I worked on a banking app with deeply domain specific data issues. AI was not very helpful on that team. My current work on consumer web apps mean my problems are more mundane and AI is a big accelerant.
Being and engineer means solving the problems with the right tools with the right tradeoffs as well. It's why I use an idea vs notepad, I use chatgpt for one-off scripts and "chat", and i use agentic workflows for big, repetitive, or "boring" low-stakes tasks.
Luis von Ahn, the billionaire cofounder and CEO of the language-learning app, revealed on Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni’s The Burnouts podcast how a job candidate treats their driver from the airport to the office can make or break their chances of getting hired—regardless of how impressive their résumé looks or how much they like the candidate in the interview process.
Plus "next generation projects" that just stall and seem unfinished.
If I didn't see them slam ai into it in weeks just like everyone else I would say they have no product teams or engineers working on it.
If that's the case then it's truly impossible to save them.
Your assumption is there is more than 50% of people who will vote blue or could be convinced to do so.
It's a terrifying thought that there could be such a deficit of empathetic people. But without any evidence you're just hoping based on your own beliefs that over 50% believe in blue like you do.
What if I'm not afraid of dying. But I'm just not willing to throw my life away unless there's decent evidence it could succeed and we could get above 50%
Everyone who voted blue in such a case could think they were the one vote. And they could be right.
A baby has even less understanding.
Everyone who is debating the homophobia of the baby is projecting.
