@codeinabox My goal in saying "writing code is not the hard part" is to assure people that using a limited visual scripting alternative or "no-code" tool is not the magic bullet they think it is and in fact it will hold them back more than anything. It's not a statement of "it's not impressive to do this well" it's one of "do not be so afraid of this skill, because it's not as unapproachable as you think it is."

    @codeinabox The problem with AI being trained on our code is not because the code has inherent value. In most cases, the code is being distributed for free, after all.The problem is that it's a violation of licenses - an expression of an author's desire for how their work is used. If an author's work is an extension of themselves, then violating a license is a violation of their autonomy.
