The real insight: have some fucking pride in what you make, be it a blog post, or a piece of software.
The businessmen's job will be complete when they've totally eliminated all pride from work.
No. Have you worked with businessmen? 90% of the time they're telling you to cut corners and leave things broken, to the point you have a janky mess that can be barely held together. And, right now, we're talking about a technology (LLMs) that is well known to introduce stupid but often hard to spot errors.
They don't want a pencil that's perfect. They want one that's just barely good enough to write with and that they can get maximum profit margin on.
And then, you know, there's the whole thing about life being more than output.
Also, automation and pride can go hand in hand. Pride doesn't mean "make it by hand," that would be silly.
The brands that do have a claim to "perfection" necessarily had the pride to not participate in that race to the bottom.
