I had a similar task and my boss wanted me to use ai to solve this.
There are solutions available for this already that work perfectly fine but whatever.
So i spent a whole day trying to get Copilot (because that is our great ai we are to use) to do what i wanted and ofc it kept failing catastrophic. Took me a few hours to even get it to load the files even.
I'm not too surprised. Over and over again I'm starting to puzzle together that the current crop of Agentic coding tools are "better than an intern, worse than an SME." By that I mean that the quality really can be anywhere between those two goalposts, often all at once, for no reason whatsoever.
I think the floor isn't "intern". I think the floor is "middle schooler".
Meanwhile, every job I'm looking at is saying "must be enthusiastic about AI" 😭
Right now, in every C-suite in the industry, is a single thought: someone is going to get a competitive advantage from using this tech. As a result, we're all being asked - and will eventually be told - to use this stuff lest we "fall behind." Sadly, it doesn't matter if that's true or not; perception is reality in situations like this. Meanwhile, it's up to the little guy to figure out how to pull that off without sinking the ship in the process.
That's honestly what this lemming is seeing out there right now. It sucks, but I really think that's the status quo.
Yeah, nah good luck to those employers. Anyone they hire who’s enthusiastic about “ai” aren’t going to have great employees let alone any working code/products
A lot of these people are very good at selling their work And making it seem good and important. So exactly like an llm
Not exactly clear on what you mean by that, just confused by how it was stated lol
