The Crutches Paradox (and Why Senior Software Engineers Don't Care About AI)

The Crutches Paradox (and Why Senior Software Engineers Don't Care About AI)

Rob and Justin are back, catching up after a short break with an episode that's part big ideas, part funny stories, and full of surprises.

They kick things off with the Crutches Paradox. Their take on why we hang onto things we'll probably never use, "just in case." From there, the conversation moves into all kinds of unexpected territory: why politeness might not matter when working with ChatGPT, the infamous New Coke conspiracy theory from the 80s, and why some of the world's top software engineers just don't seem too concerned about AI.

Rob even shares a few personal moments, including how his old Pontiac Bonneville managed to become a legend among tow truck drivers. Between the laughs and the thought-provoking moments, this grab bag episode has a little something for everyone.

Whether you're here to explore big questions or just enjoy a good story, this one will keep you hooked from start to finish. As always, if you enjoyed the episode, be sure to leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.
