There's an element of political correctness here. It's hard to look your friend in the eye and tell them that the stuff they're writing isn't worth reading.

In a similar vein, when people find out that I ride a bicycle, their first question is why I don't ride an e-bike.

I just had that conversation with a coworker last week, they started with 'I wonder if there is anyone left who isn't using AI daily?', and I had to reply with.. 'um well me actually'.

I only occasionally try it out for specific tasks and have never felt the inclination to try making it a part of any daily process, but his mindset was such that he couldn't perceive of anyone not wanting to fully dive in everyday and that those who didn't were missing out on significant value to their lives.

Any time I’ve had someone express this kind of thinking they’ve either been a non-dev or someone who writes CRUD exclusively.

Devs and others recognize that the tech use very useful but not “magic” .
