Great, fine, but genuinely: what's the end-game here? Presumably to "take from those who took from us". But where's the business model? As a thought experiment let's say Okta and Salesforce (and ever other business in OccupySaas's firing line) go under or are seriously hurt by this move - now thousands more people lose their jobs. What now? I get the anger, but taken to the limit this approach "hastens the end" and doesn't hurt the people Thomas is trying to hurt (just the opposite).

Precisely the signal that has been lost since the advent of LLMs. Voluminous work has now almost become synonymous with a signal of no effort.

Because it's difficult to condescend a little, especially when you're smarter than everyone else.

And it's not that human-rolled code never had issues like this before, but knowing it's AI being shoveled down your throat is what adds the insult to the injury.
