I assessed Matrix a few years ago and came to the same conclusion. I went with IRC3 which is a new standard that overcomes most of IRC’s issues. I think IRC is still quite good, and actually has working clients for everything, web etc

You are not mistaken

I did read the post, and if you think syntax and implementation weren’t a huge part of coding, then I’m not sure you’re a programmer either. Design is quick, writing it all out & integrating libs & figuring out bugs is slow

Some of those crystal doms are real good, hot wax, rope, the whole bit. All my mommy issues were resolved in 6 sessions

There’s a lot of people who say that using AI makes you dumber, and that’s reasonably true in one sense, but ultimately it’s reducing the kinds of work you need to do. This is a trend in humanity – photos replaced photorealistic painters - farm automation replaced manual labor. At every step, knowledge was in fact lost to society. But is that a problem really, that we lose obsoleted modes of work, in favor of automated systems that solve it forever? New skills emerge, people who know how to design factories, photography artists

I think people are afraid of AI removing jobs from the workforce, but what it’s really doing is making the workforce more efficient. The total amount of product can go up, that’s fine. Jobs like coding now look more like architectural design jobs rather than typing jobs. Creative work and original ideas will shine. New jobs will be created. Nothing new is going on

Seems to be 100% Lemmy content
