Is this some kind of ceremonial pat on the head? What type of pretentious bastard are you to steal and thank us for it… The CEO who envisions a world where AI writes all the code, pausing briefly to thank the humans he’s actively working to replace.

You were never one of us.

When you’ve spent years in the trenches actually building software, you know that writing code was never just about producing lines of syntax; it was about holding the entire fragile mental model of a system in your head, making thousands of micro-decisions that no spec ever captured, and feeling the quiet satisfaction of solving something real. Reducing that craft to a temporary, soon-to-be-obsolete stepping stone…..Fuck off. Thief.
