What are you talking about? Testosterone levels falling is common knowledge[1] at this point and referenced in all relevant literature. The root and sole cause of this being "BMI" is a novel assertion, not anything I've ever heard, and requires a source.
Sounds like you can't come up with a source haha. It was common knowledge that the Sun goes around the Earth. But who wants to talk with a geocentrist. Not me, I'll tell you that. Enjoy your flat Earth. Great A'Tuin will help. No one's going to go watch your rick roll crap haha.
`gprivate` LOL
Hey, here's your source definitelynotgoatse.info.cc
1 is obviously non universal. You don't "lose" anything, but the nature of a lens is that it becomes harder, though completely possible, to focus up close afterwards, unless you're old and already can't with glasses.
You can test yourself to see what would happen. Wearing your nearsighted glasses, can you still read a book? You'll notice it is harder than without them. If so, then you still can after LASIK.
Is your argument that we should ignore the will of the people? Because this is what the people of Maine want. Why exactly should Maine be forced to have data centers in it when its citizens don't want that?
Among my sample of friends, who are mostly right wing and successful, crime is literally the primary issue of their time. That's practically the sole problem in their lives. Not sure why their political leanings are relevant. This is what a vast swathe of people actually care about.
This sort of angry post, with many demands "attitude adjust" "delegate" and invectives "close-minded" "lazy" never appeared for any other technology shift. React devs never posted like this about jQuery devs. Mobile app devs never posted like this about mobile web devs. Yet tons of AI users post like this about non-AI-using devs.
Is it some kind of fear or doubt? It's a strange phenomenon.
Like for example I strongly believe Typescript is better than Javascript and needs to be used instead for any serious project. But if someone says they don't like it, I cannot imagine myself writing a post like yours about it. First of all I don't care what they use, but second of all if I really wanted to convince them it would not look anything like this. Your post and many like it reads like anger and condescension and incredulity.
Indeed it is quite bizarre. Why are they so emotionally charged? I dont quite get it. Frankly if they are so confident in what they say, why not just watch from the side lines and laugh at the people who get bulldozed?
Me thinks something far more bizarro is aloof.
Im not even a SWE btw so I have no financial interest here, but I can see how bizarre his post is.
He's drunk the kool aid and forgotten that some of us have been working in this industry for decades and got along just fine without AI, while he's busy debugging his technical debt and getting sued for leaking customer data I'll just be over here quietly enjoying coding for customers who like dealing with human beings and not black box robots.
I really don't understand why you people always say these things so matter of factly. I'd put a lot of money (and do, in the markets) on you being wrong. I'm pretty sure in ten years I will not have a problem keeping a software job without using AI.
Maybe it's because of the environment they work in or their understanding of other people because of the business they're in.
Your average 50 year old business owner doesn't understand AI at all and doesn't care to know, he's too busy thinking about getting a new order for 5000 widgets that he invented. What he needs is a website with inventory management, some sort of email marketing software, some sort of CRM, maybe a dashboard or something. What he wants to do is pick up the phone to someone and get them to take care of it for a reasonable price.
AI is coming for programmers with no social skills, but it isn't coming for the human relationship side of the business where you need to have a few meetings to work out what they want to achieve, build a plan that works long term, have a call with other third parties or their vendors etc to alleviate pain points and then build a project around the business needs that won't crash every five minutes and leak their internal information because Claude decided security was optional.
Half my job is understanding what they need and then instead of accepting their original scope, building a brand new scope in collaboration with them to fit the business needs long term. If one of these guys just wants to plow the original scope into Claude and let it rip then the customer isn't getting what they need.

Okay, I guess I'm not reading an impartial news report, and I immediately know the political leanings of the author and outlet in the first sentence. Let's go on...
> Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a “reorganization.” An execution.
This is AI, and sensationalist language, and really tiresome to read. Let's go on...
> They’re ripping the headquarters out of
Oh, "ripping" not "moving"... Okay... Yeah, I'm just not going to read this. The whole report is an AI slop invective with every verb replaced with a negative connotation, more outrage than information. If anyone has a real news report about what this change means that hasn't been tortured through a sentiment thesaurus, please let me know.
