Want to convince me of AI coding? Let's see AI go modernize the old X11 codebase. Wayland progress is so glacially slow that a motivated programmer should be able to run rings around them with AI on X11, right? Show me that, and I'll pay attention to "AI".
> Many of us don’t just write code - we love writing code.
Excuse me, I HATE writing code.
Code is the thing that is in the way between what I want to computer to do and the computer doing it. If AI reduces that burden, I would be the first to jump on that wave.
GUI programming still sucks. GPU programming still sucks. Embedded programming still sucks. Concurrent programming still sucks. I can go on and on.
I was actually having this discussion with somebody the other day that 99% of my programming is "Shaving Yaks" and 1% actually focused on the problem I want to solve.
When AI starts shaving the yaks for me, I'll start getting excited.
