This is very, very good. I haven't been able to articulate my thoughts as well as this. The part about "how do I learn if a bot writes code for me" really hits home.

Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.
Time to discuss the realities of, "So You Want to Launch a Ground Invasion of Iran."
