  • Don’t trust senior engineers who are telling you to pick political fights
  • Don’t play games. Keep your head down and be helpful

Sounds like anti-union propaganda. Work is political, and we can't change things if we keep our heads down and ignore problems.

    AI slop, the guys pretends to be software engineer and outputting posts every day. This is extremely low quality, no wonder he advocates not avoiding AI.

    Can you prove it's AI slop? The author has previously posted that they don't allow AI-generated content on their blog.

    If you don't like it it's AI slop.

    That's exactly my issue with people saying something is "AI slop", it's a lazy way to shutdown conversation on something you disagree with.

    We seem to have forgotten that humans create a lot of low-quality and low-effort content...

    Over at sh.itjust.works we recently had a contest to replace our previously AI generated logo (because "AI is bad now"). The human-created replacements were a parade of low-effort copy/paste garbage that were embarrassing to judge... But they were human garbage so we picked one.

    Good advice, except the "keep your head down" part soudns like a "it depends" thing. In some situations it is best to speak up, like when you have experience in a specific use case and there is a problem in that use case, or when you want to learn something, or when a senior is being a racist pos. There are times for speaking up and times for keeping your head down, learn to feel the situation.
