Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Do you write all your code by hand? Join the rest of us in this public list (handcraftedcode.org)

It seems like a nice idea: a place to point people to when they claim "no one writes without AI". Now we can say: "here's a great big list of people who do",

👋 If you would like to add your name to the directory, here's how to do it!

  1. Edit this file in your own fork.
  2. Submit the edit as a PR. In the description of the PR, supply some sort of social or technical proof that you have authored handcrafted code and it is currently in production. "In production" can mean either an app/service that people in public are using, or software module(s) being used by other publicly known software (aka an open source library).
  3. We will review your submission and, if it looks legit, we will publish it on handcraftedcode.org!

Sounds interesting but I'm not sure I can provide proof. I work on closed source software for a company and don't really have any online presence outside of this account.

I do everything the normal way (no LLMs) and am probably the only person left at my company doing so.

Perhaps submit yourself anyway and just put that explanation into the pull request. I don't think the list is designed to be super bullet proof, I was merged without directly linking any code too (although I suppose it's not too hard to find). At the end of the day, a lot of the internet runs on the honor system still, for better and for worse.

Sounds complicated, I'll ask Claude to do it for me 👌

LOL

I tried resisting the urge, but the dad in me is too strong
