So you argue we discriminate based on who/what wrote the code, instead of what's in it? Let's take this to a different domain, self driving cars. Would you equally argue for human driving? I'm pretty sure over time it wi

Inventing the automobile has clearly made humanity less fit. Should we stop driving? No. Going back to the stone age is not the solution. For the majority of our day, commuting without a vehicle will be impractical. So will coding without A

Where I grew up, mandatory military service was required, and not just for a few months but rather years. I've seen people who quit and people, like me, who clinched their teeth and got through the whole ordeal. I myself at the time co
