I like what Linus Torvalds say here :

In the best of cases, is a productivity tool. Just like compilers were
at a point (compilers did not have all the ecological issues associated,
of course).
The first thing we need to do is stop anthropomorphizing tools. It
really freaks me out when people talk about LLMs — and agents — as if
they were human.

Dear Pharo users and developers,
I posted a first article in a series about using AI in Pharo
development. After seeing the world embrace agentic development
tools, I decided it was time to look into them and see how they can
be used for software development in Pharo.

As always, all feedback is welcome.
Happy reading!
Ciao,
Koen
