☸️ #Buddhism, at its core, is a life philosophy—a spartan one, but a philosophy, nonetheless. It is not a religion; there is no creation myth and there is no Creator. There are but a few, albeit universally applicable, principles to help navigate the travails of life.Any internally consistent philosophy can be applied to any human endeavour, so as to improve one's perceptions therein. Buddhism's internal consistency has been affirmed for 2500 years.It is, therefore, eminently appropriate to apply the enduring, ancient Buddhist philosophies to the moribund, modern #software practice, so as to apprehend, assess, and alleviate the pervasive sufferings that #AI is inflicting upon this once-thriving field.Awake!Do right, in spite of it all.All things must pass.PS—Those who are intrigued by the Buddhist philosophy should study it on their own, instead of asking ChatGPT to explain it to them.#LunchtimeLament
