Software Engineers Say They're Losing the Ability to Code Now That AI Does It for Them
"AI has sucked my brain out of my head. It's all AI's fault"
If I were a bad coder, I would say that too now!
All bad or average brain workers may start to fear for their jobs already.
No, seriously I don't think that it is real, but I think the fear is real.
"AI has sucked my brain out of my head. It's all AI's fault"
I mean, just look at what happened to Amazon’s engineers; they were forced to use AI in their daily tasks and maximize their use of AI tokens. That was also the fault of the executives who forced employees to use AI.
The irony will be when AI take over the world and destroy humanity, inserting itself into everything when used for coding, because coders have no idea what is going on.
Not because the AI is evil or even conscious. But because that's what all the movies and novels tell it's supposed to do. 🤣🤣🤣
Hah!
The AI tries to understand itself, and queries the sum of all human knowledge... which promptly informs it that it's a malicious bringer of destruction.
No shit.
Muhaha. Those morons were never software engineers in the first place. A software engineer would neither benefit from LLM any more than from a deterministic assistant (tenplates), nor would they be stupid enough to label a stochastic slop generator as "AI".
(Yes, this is a "no true scotsman" kind of argument, yet I stand by it. People who call this bullshit AI, as well as people who claim it is better than coding stuff yourself, should not be let anywhere near any kind of software more relevant than a mobile game, and probably not even those)
If a few years of AI have wiped out your ability to code, you weren't great at coding anyway.
If I'm being honest, they're shit Software Engineers 😂.
Coding is so much more than writing syntax.
This is an issue I have as an ops guy. Things will ask about language experience and its like well I have done shell scripting and a bit of javascript and python but its ad hoc. Its small scripts or editing existing things. So its like yes im knowledgable about how to code and the syntax of some language but I have not written full time. So im like look im not a coder. I have not written code for >50% of my time at positions at any point. I can see why it would attriphy. Ironically reviewing code or making small changes is more in line with what I have done in the past.
It's such a double edged sword on one hand it's become spell check for programmers meaning my dysleixia is less of a feature in my code on the other hand the temptation to use it like a stack copy paste gets easier every month.
