Cognitive Surrender. I can feel it happening every time I use this employer-mandated Cursor crap. I’m fighting it as hard as I can. Every AI slop pull request I have to review makes me die a little more inside.

(Edit: I’m glad this was so well received, but people are hating on my “assembler isn’t as difficult as people think” post below. Oh well.)

"Over the last few months, we have stopped getting AI slop security reports in the curl project," said Daniel Stenberg, founder and lead developer of curl, in a social media post. "They're gone. Instead, we get an ever-increasing amount of really good security reports, almost all done with the help of AI."
