There’s another way?

Surely it has to be “Boulder McBoulderface”?

Apologies for the typo. I’ve asked mods to fix it.

I wonder how this works for code generation as opposed to general text generation?

I’ve been referring to it as “Dunning-Kruger As A Service” for quite some time. Interesting that other folks are coming to the same conclusion.
There’s a subtlety here, tho. It doesn’t mean (at all) that’s it useless. Just that those who don’t know what they’re doing are going to be amplifying their incompetence.

I’ve had some pretty good results with Claude Code over the last 18 months or so, and “agentic engineering” (as opposed to “vibe coding”) is now very tightly integrated into my workflow. But it’s pretty easy to see how it can devolve to Dunning-Krueger-as-a-service if you don’t know what you’re doing. Which sadly appears to be the case far more often than it’s not right now.

Now we’re into a conversation about degree, and not principle. Yes, it could be small, applied like a sales tax a percentage of the spend on advertising. The idea would be to create a price disincentive to do it. Ultimately, it’s a form of digital pollution, so the less we have of it the better (in my view).

I know this is controversial, and imperfect, but the longer this crap continues the more right I feel about this as a solution:
What if we taxed advertising? https://matthewsinclair.com/blog/0177-what-if-we-taxed-adver...
