    I think the intern metaphor is great for the one reason the author didn’t mention: how the AI’s screw things up periodically in the ways professionals never would that you also might never see coming or have a plan for. They’re indeed like narrowly-skilled, useful interns that need to operate under careful constraints and supervision. :)

      Ha ha! Perfect analogy.

        That’s what I thought the article was about and was disappointed when it wasn’t.

        FWIW I did the exact same thing recently - but skipped the inbetween steps. VS Code is (for now) the best of both worlds. Until it gets too bloated and heavy I guess…

          In some startups, which have small teams, this is a difficult one to tackle as these people tend to have a “bossy” role, share responsabilities and won’t listen.

            I feel for you :(

              So our original, well-researched article with 3 interviews done with real people is spam? What wouldn’t be spam, out of interest?

                I believe the objection here is that your sole engagement with this community, to date, is to link to your business. The quality is irrelevant.

                  Sorry that’s not correct. 7 posts, 3 about SQLizer.

                    I stand corrected - you have posted a link on astrophysics that’s not from your business.

                    3 posts from SQLizer, 3 posts from your other gig weared4, 1 (quite fascinating) bit of astrophysics.

                    To be clear, I’m not taking a position here on whether the content is spam; I’m trying to explain why some people are calling it that.
