@ceejbot @aredridel personally I can’t really cosign that particular take, because there are a lot of people quite far along on the experience curve who are taking mind-bogglingly reckless risks and seemingly accumulating cognitive damage that makes them more comfortable with recklessness as their exposure increases. for example, witness the vigilance decay among even very experienced lawyers simply vibe-briefing their way to bar sanctions

@ceejbot @aredridel github and AWS accumulating historic levels of outages, etc. there is definitely some variance in individual performance at particular moments in time but the trend lines point in a very troubling direction.

@glyph @ceejbot @aredridel Covid-induced cognitive impairment might also be a factor there. I wonder how many people are keenly grabbing onto AI assistance because it lets them feel 'productive' after getting Covid 'brain fog'?
