My great grandmother was a Catawba, I spent a lot of time with her as a kid, and I remember her telling me about a few things. She used to make little trinkets and decorations because her grandmother taught her how, and I wish I had paid more attention because that's so cool and I hate that her knowledge died with her.
Instead, I was very little, so the only thing I actually got from her is some memories and my resilience against the sun. I'm a fairly pale lady due to being inside a lot, but I have an uncanny ability to recover from sunburn real quick, just like my mom and her mom. My wife will burn after 2-3 hours and be in pain for days but I'll be fine the next morning after the same amount of time in the sun. The burn will have already become a tan.
... But importantly, I have never used that to say I am not white, and it confuses the heck out of me that anyone does.
I've understood it to mean something more like "did the thing that others said I couldn't/shouldn't" rather than right or proper. Not just doing the right things, but flexing on the haters who think you couldn't.
I'm kinda with you though, it makes me uncomfortable every time
This is why my personal use of AI has been focused pretty cleanly on "doing what I already do, more thoroughly" - By not turning it into a "ship more code more faster" machine, it's a "can explore my code and answer questions and help design things more thoroughly" machine.
I tend to go with "AI-augmented" development because I'm shipping the same things I've been shipping - Just with a way to quickly brainstorm and compare ideas on something my team members may not have time for. I can propose my ideas and have some LLM tell me what the downsides of my approach would be - or what I should guard against.
It's crazy to me that folks are treating them like sources of truth when they should just be an untrustworthy second opinion that is faster than you. I think of it as an intern with speed but questionable taste lol.
The main trouble with Stoat and Fluxer from what I've seen is that they're both trying too hard to be Discord, while neither of them are quite hitting the mark. They'll be interesting to follow in the future
