Coding is totally obselete, bro. AI can totally write all the code, trust me bro. You just gotta know how to tell it what code to write, like learn some keywords and stuff, bro. Like, as long as you check how it produces looping mechanisms and tell it when it should use polymorphism and stuff, it’ll totally do all the work bro. You don’t need to know how to code, just the right sequence of keywords and commands so the AI can write all the code.
Like AI generated stories or art you’re going to need someone to edit them.
Writing code is easier than understanding and reviewing another’s code. There is good reason code reviewers aren’t the interns and new hires.
My question to others is, why would you want to turn into a code reviewer for AI code? It’s a shitload harder. And if the goal is anything but a weekend project, you damn well better be understanding and reviewing it critically, otherwise one is shitting up the code base and forcing others to clean up your mess.
We will find out just how good AI is with coding in a few months when it replaces the SSA’s, mostly, COBOL based system.
My guess? Catastrophic.
And instead of going back, they’ll say some kid deleted the old stuff after copying it into the new system.
Of course they will delete the old system entirely. Saving it would just be wasteful, and intelligent.
As a coder, the majority of my job isn’t writing code. It’s translating the bullshit management says and the broken specs we’re given into what they both actually want, not what they said. There is never going to be an AI that fixes that
There is never going to be an AI that fixes that
Don’t be so negative. Of course AI, if sufficiently trusted, could fix the existence of the human race and by extension the existence of bullshit management.
ok then.
all developers should quit their jobs now. like right now. also, don’t bother with foss anymore. AI can generate it all by itself. all foss projects should close all their public repos entirely. no more public code repos, no more software development.
everybody go home, AI has it covered. we can just get new more fulfilling jobs in farming, logging, or construction.
bye greedy AI fuck-sticks. We’ll be back when you assholes snap your AI neck trying to suck your own dicks.
The idea of LLMs putting coders out of work at a large scale seems inherently self-defeating.
The LLMs needed to ingest a massive volume of code to get to their current level of proficiency. What will happen if they put all the coders out of work and Stack Overflow is down to just a small number of hobbyists? Will the LLMs just stop advancing?
I’m sure Sam Altman would say they are just about to have reasoning capabilities that will allow them to improve. But Sam Altman is not credible.
It’s sadly already happening in regards to stack.
I can explain this chart: SO and AI both give me questionably useful example code, but AI isn’t as much of an asshole about it as the average SO user.
Outdated and no source…
Waiting for AI to take over CEO positions because they do nothing and you can replace them with a series of shell scripts.
That’s a more viable solution than replacing most software engineers, honestly.
As a developer, I literally laughed hard enough to choke a little.
Listening to this guy talk shit is a waste of time
LOL, my friend no. Hahaha 🤡
I predict that this guy is a moron.
Oh shit, my prediction already came true!?
The main issue I’ve encountered is with troubleshooting. Initially, working with cursor was smooth when dealing with a single file and script project. However, as I tried to extend it to handle dependencies like a typical project, the code generation began to spiral out of control, resembling a cancerous growth that keeps producing more and more code. This problem intensified when I started interacting with multiple libraries, making the situation even more chaotic. It must be extra directed to stay on track and even if it tends to always create extra.
But what is interesting with those company CEO is that they still have developers. How come? If AI will replace them you don’t need any. Actions vs words
I don’t give a shit. I code because it’s fun.
We are all so fucked.
