"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Hi, I want to understand how you guys learn new things in the age of AI? I am a software engineer relatively new to the industry ~5 YOE. I am trying to learn new things in my job but since we use so much AI for programming and stuff, I feel that I might not be learning as much as I would have if AI did not exist.

I cannot stop using AI since it does make few things easier, and also my company keeps watch if someone is not using enough tokens. On other hand I also dont want to fall behind on my task deadlines by doing things old school way.

Is there any way to get better at workplace in this situation? I just want to get really, really good in my domain.

I would say just do some book reading and practice coding in all the time that all that AI is saving - but poeple who measure find that AI is not actually saving time at coding tasks.

Still, when I was locked into closed source bullshit frameworks by my job, I practiced with open tools and frameworks in every spare minute.

Many people have no time at all to invest in their future careers. I have found that eeking out a few minutes here and there got me ahead of the pack.

Of course, I'm obsolete now, because web frameworks were invented in 2003, and they stopped hiring programmers, entirely. Oh - I mean, I'm obsolete now because of AI vibe code tools.

The reason keeps changing, but I've been obsolete for a long time.

This is exactly what an obsolete programmer would say. Also, I had a good laugh, thanks
