While AI has sped up people who do quality work, it has also enabled those of us less concerned with quality to produce a whole lot more garbage.

People really seem to be mixing up having good prompts, tests, guardrails, and workflows to not have to read their own code versus having a terrible prompt, making ai slop, and then expecting the PR reviewer to deal with 10k of nonsense.

@BraydonCoyer @githubuniverse Safe travels!

The Mayer article was disappointing but not surprising. It’s been a bad month for women in tech. A real win would’ve been Mayer organizing sponsorship to keep Grace Hopper open. Women don’t need a chatbot to help describe our children, we need funding, focus, and community.

"Everyone is an expert w/ AI" An expert, to me, is one who speaks on a subject knowledgeably with no warning in different contexts. I worry that we are mistaking repeating info from AI as "expertise". From the recent press secretary, its obvious when you're just reading things 🫠

I’ll be doing a tea spill and a class on technical interviewing today on the #100devs discord in an hour and a half! So exciting to do this because look at what I wrote last year on my study notebook to motivate myself in the job hunt.

Voted for my boi Talarico today, so here’s hoping.

[AmandaMayfield @AmandaMDev]

I’m helping out with #100devs on Thursday and I’m so excited! I really love tech mentorship and I’m grateful to my tech community for being there for me in the job hunt. So now I want to be there for others.

[AmandaMayfield @AmandaMDev]

Defo gonna check this one out later!
