    Good lord so many of you are fucked when some kid puts out a bunch more work for half the effort with some basic AI use.

      I already do pretty well by being the guy who actually understands what’s happening when everyone uses AI instead and saves the day frequently with actual solutions when everyone realizes AI just wasted a week of their time.

      More kids presenting AI output as actual work will only put me in a better position.

        Think there is enough room for 50 of you? Agents ain’t going to replace humans. It’ll raise the bar on output and drive up the entry level. Agents will be doing a lot of the shit and low risk easy work and folks like you and I (because you are kinda correct) get bright on for more complex business needs and hitl break fix stuff.

        Most in this thread can’t imagine a middle ground as they are distracted with the AI circle jerk.

          Good lord, boomer before my time. Sorry the tech is neat? Just not onboard with the ip means nothing until you want ours attitude and we’re going to cram ai down everyone’s throat until you assimilate.

          Neat side effects include 2027s ram production capacity has already been spoken for.

          Actually nvm speedrun economic collapse my moms generation isn’t retiring fast enough to buckle index funds

      AI tech professionals are quintessential “Didn’t Earn It” hires. I’ve got 15+ years of experience, i’ll be fine when the bubble pops, but the kids who rely on it to function, good luck lol.

        I was around for greybeards saying they wouldn’t learn AWS. Then containers. The ultra hype machine is dying but AI she LLM are here to stay. They are a great tool when used correctly and those that don’t learn it won’t be competitive in the market. Just like the anti cloud guys.

          LLMs like this are fundamentally different than cloud. We got kids no longer studying in school because AI does it for them. We are witnessing the construction of a panopticon. The Overton window is quickly shrinking and wealth is quickly concentrating to like 5 people.

          It’s not an “old man doesn’t like change” situation, it’s philosophically a stupid idea to introduce a new species to the planet that has a higher intelligence than us.

          I was around for that saga too, i’ve worked for an AI company, I know what i’m talking about.

        Everyone know I’ll have 1.23 times more bugs but 3.97 output leaving me with the delta to deliver. 87% of the time code will be best 🙄

        The nonsense abstract numbers pulled out of your ass are 🧑‍🍳😘

      Spewing garbage faster isn’t a brag. I could put out more work if I never checked if anything was accurate.
