AI Policy 101 book What we believe about AI usage.

Handmade Cities does not have a blanket ban on AI usage, but we do have sweeping prohibitions on:

  1. AI boosting. You know it when you see it. (Statements like "Traditional coding is dead. Don't be a tradcoder.") Respectfully close this tab and burn your token subsidies elsewhere.

  2. Doom trolling. Coined by Cal Newport, doom trolling is the fake hysteria around the future of our profession ("Software engineers will be gone in two years!") Don't do that.

HMC is a safe fortress for anyone wanting better software. People who believe in quality and human craftsmanship. Some of us might judiciously deploy artificial intelligence, with a strong bias for local systems. Others prefer not to use AI in any way, shape, or form. Both classes of users are welcome.
