     What I find hilarious is that every shitty non-innovation that the tech industry dreams up to make coding cheaper actually makes it more expensive and increases my value as a skilled programmer. It's been shown that AI code is dragging software quality down, which is expensive to fix. Also, making wild claims about AI replacing programmers has scared people away from the industry, further increasing our value as the only entity actually capable of creating software that works.

     “i do suck at this which is why i use AI” then you will never learn, you will never improve, you will only be dependent on wildly wasteful illusions to produce mediocrity at best

     xj9 repeated this.

     like using AI to write prose or poetry. the result sucks and everyone knows it and you only did it that way because you’re fucking lazy and contemptuous of labor and skill. normally calling someone “lazy” is ableist so let me be clear: i mean it as you have actively chosen to suck

     i put poetry in my code. i leave comments. i write docs and tests to high standards. my job is to be good at this. letting AI write your code is just admitting that you fucking suck at this

     but seriously if i am using an AI to write my apps, i have ceased to be a software engineer. i am at that point no different from a product manager, except i have delegated my engineering org to unaccountable sand that hallucinates
