"Real developer who has done assembly every day for ten years now. Compilers are shit. It's bad"
?? AI is nothing like a compiler ๐ Its just autocomplete. Compilers are deterministic btw. All good tools are. I dont want to play whack a mole with autocomplete.
Exactly. I've done "real programming" for four decades; early in my career I was writing assembler and regularly having to review compilers' output because it was shit.
I do not still do that. You adapt andove with the times, or you find a new career.
The ones complaining now are mainly the people who thought "cutting and pasting stuff from Stack Overflow without ever understanding it" was skilled labour.
