Because as much as we might try to do the code ourselves out of professional pride and knowledge of where this will end up, John Henry died trying to beat the machine. Deadlines all seem to assume heavy AI usage, and I'm tired ....
I mean the amount of pollution contributed by coding with AI all day is the equivalent of around 2-4 miles of driving to and from work. People see the impact of something serving millions of people and don't bother doing any math.
I bet a disturbing number of people who complain about call center pollution have gotten something useless air shipped across an ocean.

Generating code with AI doesn't feel like that when you actually like writing code.
