And thank you for the article - it was a good read. I still see folks in my org playing "throw spaghetti at the wall and see what works" and getting frustrated so plan mode (mostly point 2) has been their guardrails almost as much as for the AI.

It reminds me of some TV show or Hollywood movie where the nerdy tech person says gibberish and the word "mainframe" a few times, and the main characters have to say "In English please?" I feel like the main character when reading some of these AI-isms.

I haven't seen it in the settings but some "drink water" reminders or just customizing those would be great.

Storefronts like Steam require disclosing use of AI assets for art. In most indie dev spaces, devs are scolded for using AI art in their games. I wonder if this perspective will change in a few years.

It feels like the jquery years all over again when the landscape was filled with frontend influencers peddling their speaking services to talk about their naming semantics for css or whatever.

Not saying complexity doesn’t exist and maybe some of it isn’t needed but a surface level blog post that conveniently smooths over all the nuances and problems developers encounter in the real world doesnt do much for me. At worse it just adds to the pile of misinformation about front end in non toy applications.

Some people feel their outlook on the world takes precedence. And they'll shit in other people's celebrations to get their point across. Best to downvote or ignore them and embrace what nuance you can find.

However as I say in another comment, most of my family are educators so these experiences represent what they've been dealing with for the past 20+ years.

> before laptops there were bad teachers who used books to teach the kids instead of actually teaching - as in: "read chapter 7, there will be a test!"

I think both could be true and I'm not excluding either. The issues I've heard almost always come down to entitled parents who don't want to raise their own kids but have the schools do it for them, then complain when their kid brings home a disciplinary document for not being able to follow simple conduct rules in class.

It's not the individual teachers I blame. I come from a family of educators and a lot of the crappy enforcement falls to the district level, who just want to make the parents happy. There is literally no reason a child needs a cell phone in class. Computers are great. Lock them down. There is nothing unreasonable about this.

Ban phones from class. For real. Lock down websites that are irrelevant to the subjects being taught. These are all technically possible with the tools schools have. Even Youtube. If something is important enough to show the class, the teacher can show it on their larger screen.

Half these issues can be solved by teaching kids how to use technology meaningfully instead of using it as a babysitter.
