we’re not alone and we’re not going anywhere.

Jul 5, 2026, 7:44 PM@janl what‘s your reasoning for writing code by hand? Asking out of real curiosity. I can see many reasons. Personally I rarely do as I am a cofounder in a small startup and in that situation speed is king

@Philip are you for real?
- Jul 5, 2026, 7:47 PM
@janl yes. Surprise? It seems that our information bubbles don’t overlap much?
Is it ethical concerns, preference, environmental concerns or something else? (All of these have something to them IMO)

@Philip I think you should stop following me

@janl It would be a sad existence if I only followed people that I 100% agree with.
Thank you for the links. So it's ethical concerns, mostly. I get that (and respect it).
- Jul 5, 2026, 8:57 PM
@Philip this reads to me that you see those concerns as negotiable.

@janl yeah I mean... I use LLMs although I understand, and, to a degree, share, the ethical concerns.
We can have a conversation about how I arrived at that decision if you're interested but I don't think a string of toots is the right medium for it.

Jul 6, 2026, 3:08 PM@janl I still haven't used AI to help me do my job, or to write code. Some of my coworkers do, I don't see how it could improve my situation or speed up my work. I have no interest in exploring it either. I'll keep doing things by hand as doing it by hand keeps my mind sharp and ready to learn more.
