And after each of these, there’s been _more _ demand for developers.

Well, have you seen what game engines have done to us?

When tools become more accessible, it mostly results in more garbage.

I'm guessing 4 out of 5 of your favorite games have been made with either unity or unreal. What an absolutely shit take.

help me. I am stuck working in SDET and my job makes me do a cert every 6 months that's "no code" and I need to transition to writing code.

I've been SDET since 2013, in c# and java. I am so fucking sick of selenium and getting manual testing dumped on my lap. I led a test team for a fortune 500 company as a contractor for a project. I can also program in the useless salesforce stack (apex, LWC).

I am the sole breadwinner for my household. I have no fucking idea what to do.

I barely use AI for work but I gotta say that it's the first time I can get some very specific tasks done faster.

I currently make it write code generators, I fix the up and after that I have something better at making boilerplate than these LLMs. Today I had to throw up a bunch of CRUD for a small webapp and it saved me around 1-2 hours.

Yeah forms and very basic HTML its good. Anything complex and you have to take over. Great at saving time, like an intern. But a bit worse in that the intern will typically get better and the ai hasn't really.
