This mindset is truly baffling.

There's a lot more going on out there than "writing code", believe it or not.

Every single company was doing this long before AI was a thing. And, yes, the advent of AI has accelerated it.

But long term AI will allow us to unbundle and implement only the features we need.

The tech is 4 years old, and has only been "great" for, what, 1? Maybe 1.5?

All I need to know is it's the most widely used piece of software in my stack, by far.

You have some great insight in this thread, I hope people absorb it.

And I am empathetic to those concerns! These are crazy times. That's why I'm here taking about how I think it's going to work.

But "AI writes slop code" just sounds ridiculous at this point.

>My wife regularly gets pushed away by “IT” at her work and unlike others she pushes back, but they don’t like her.

IT (and developers) have always been gatekeepers at their business. It's a meme, a stereotype. And it's why they are absolutely melting down about AI; you can see it up and down this thread. They don't understand people want to work with people they like, first and foremost. And it's why normies can't wait to replace them.

>Very cool and creative example of using AI

Is it? And that's no shade to the OPs project, it looks awesome.

But, frankly, it blows my mind that anyone with a passing interest in software hasn't seen AI as an incredible capability enhancer. How are they not doing everything they ever wanted?

So many people just sit around and complain about it. It's impossible for me to wrap my head around.

No one ever got a 2am call to fix something before AI was around! And DevOps understood every line and could fix it quickly (though one wonders how it broke in the first place?).

Meanwhile, back in reality, DevOps now have a tool to help them sort through the slop that already exists.

So, go build houses, nobody cares. But go ahead and try and slow their process down with "the way you like to do things", see how that goes.

That's how you view your employment? The same as hiring a painter? That is astonishing.

Some people view their job as having infinite things to do, and AI means they can work on more and different things.

Other people see their specific job as a series of tasks, and if AI does those they don't know what do anymore.

Guess who is going to stay employed?
