You are getting stronger. I very much doubt you are getting better at code.

It must burn a little blogging about an LLM-driven latency analysis _internal demo_ only to have Datadog launch a product in the same space a day later. https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/bits-ai-sre/

And yet, that is exactly the basis for Yegge's point: attributing a philosophical label based on a perceived (and incorrect) background for a group. Goose, gander. Kettle, pot.
