Agree on it being a good thing

Am I the only one who takes these “legends returns“ for a lack of innovation?

Noticed that for a while in triple A gaming. I get it, companies are playing safe, but I don’t want to be sold the same thing over and once again..

Edit: typo

A farmer producing meat is a better farmer than me even if I hire my own farmer.

If we invent a meta-farmer profession (for those who hired a farmer) I will be great meta-farmer, but still suck as a farmer

Commit messages, comments and function names are hard to come up with, that's why we spent years to argue on maximizing value. We also learned to pay attention because we new that this particular name is like that with a reason.

Now it's hard to pay attention to code comments and commit messages because costs to produce them is zero and llm doesn't care about communication and your attention budget

All above comes at a cost of author slowly starting to understand less and less code in their own projects.

Then in other projects as well.

After the initial boost is over they will have to pay money just to stay afloat because they have already outsourced their thinking.

I’m not anti AI, but I’m very worried about this bragging “you are not better engineer if you do things yourself”. Yes, you are, it all comes in small details.

I got emotional here as well.

Easy-to-learn and built-for-learning-good-practices are two different things;

I think your point is perfectly correct but it's mostly about the second one

Humans are highly dependent on the environment; you can blame people for eating too much of highly processed food and lots of sugar, but that's what happens if all you see around is highly processed food and sugar

lmk if you ever visit Zürich :)

I agree with that 100%

I also wonder if this is so visible because a lot of people don't really care what they do and will happily use any bullshit machine to simulate work.

thinking becomes a commodity

That's a fair point for students, but as a beginner who simply wants to tinker with fun stuff, you can go very far without knowing of a program stack.

I think I had the wrong audience in mind
