The greed of the few outweigh the needs of the many.

Personally, yes but also im seen this stuff not work at all. I help people alot on a large programming discord and ive seen schizophrenic coding and its always AI. I usually tell them I can’t help you because its almost all wrong. They are usually upset but the code makes up non existent calls and what not. I’m thinking when they took all the content from GIT it did much more damage to the AI than they realize yet. Then people post about the code and they replug the code into AI, making a shit eater, eat its own shit.

Career-wise, even the usual insider mouthpieces are starting to agree that AI won’t kill CS: But yeah, AI has definitely scorched the FOSS landscape. We will somehow figure out a way though.

It’s sucked the joy out of the whole field for me, yeah. I really enjoy programming and have since I was barely a teenager. Throughout my career I’ve even enjoyed doing code reviews because it brought me joy to see clever solutions to problems and to be able to discuss them with their authors, but with AI I just can’t anymore. Most of the time the code is just generated with no actual human thinking involved I also have coworkers who aren’t even programming at all anymore. They tell me about how they just set up agents to work on features and review the output every half an hour and I don’t understand at all because that sounds awful to me even if the code is perfect. I expect it all to come crashing down soon but its not soon enough because it’s all been rather soul crushing

Talk to any master plumber. You will wreck your body. It’s not a forgiving career. Electrician people.

Idk I haven’t seen an AI that writes acceptable C/C++ yet (to be honest I haven’t looked that hard)… So as long as my projects focus is low level, thin, maintainable code, I can still do things AI won’t be able to for a long time. I recognize that being free to write code however I want makes me privileged, and others don’t have that freedom. Despite that, I am afraid of what will happen to the open source tools I depend on. None of us write our code alone.

I learned how to sweat copper so I could replace some shoddy plumbing done by a previous owner, and that brought me more pride and joy than anything I’ve done in my 10-year career as a developer. I’d but a copy of this in a heartbeat.

Oh, please, not a plumber. I’m traumatized by broken pipes!

No. I don’t use it because it’s (mostly) immoral. I also strongly suspect that nothing resembling modern technology will understand what it’s doing, so we always have an edge.

I just hate the feeling of chatting with something that is designed to sound human when I got into software devrlopment because I got tired of dealing with people in the first place. From my perspective natural language isn’t expressive enough to describe a computer program and that’s why programming languages were created. That’s one of the reasons you gotta keep prompting over and over again. Couple that with the gambling type feeling I get when I use them (keep rolling the dice until something is spit out that “works”), just feels gross to me. It’s really depressing to me because I really enjoy programming and I know there are tons out there like me who have had the same passion with it.

Don’t worry! AI will replace plumbers too!
