Why would I work on the open tho ? The reason you always get that answer is because it's the norm. I am paid to develop software for a business like the majority of people I suppose.

Outside of my work I spend time with my family as I stare at screens enough during the day.

Maybe if you asked 20 years ago I'd be able to share some of my passion projects, unforutnately AI didn't exist back then

Why are you so aggressive ? What I am saying is how many folks are working nowadays and DHH gives an example of this in his linux distro and in his interview talking about his products.

Maybe try it out with an open mind ?

Do you expect me to break my work contract to convince a stranger on the internet that they're wrong ? lol

Not really, no.

People come and go, documentation isn't great.

It's no different.

If I need to understand complex codebase with thousands of humans touching nowadays I am asking AI anyways

What's the problem of the solution proposed ? Don't read/write code anymore. Have strong harness. That's how my team of ~30 has been operating for the most part.

The problem we are trying to solve was never to write code, was to solve business problems

Are you sure is not just your bubble ? That's not all the impression that I get

Sure ! I have been doing this for 2 decades now and started my career in VHDL / Hardware before going to embedded systems and then cloud. I am pretty sure I can understand hand code pretty well. I just don't need to write it. Why would it.

Why is your identity tied to writing code ? That reads a bit weird to me at least.

You're being paid to solve business problems, not to write code. Now you can do it without writing code.

Maybe try to form a different identity ? I wouldn't ever define my identity (not before AI) as someone who writes code.

Configuring postgres to automatically failover instead of doing it manually. The automated system caused more downtime in a few months than manually doing it did for years before. All in the name of more automations and less downtime

Why not ? Can google be trusted ? Or facebook ? How do people have been accessing the internet for the last decade you reckon and how's this any different ?

How would you count them or even know if they were made with AI or not ? Such nonsense

Of course yes, and it's even easier in some cases. Since there's a language that defines the functionality (e.g: formal methods) that the agent can use/veriy against
