i mean look at reddit andf dev subreddit. since ai NONE of them look capable to code anything.
Wait, really? Oh damn. Maybe we should.... Naaaaaah.
From the future:
AI was the stealthy nail in the coffin. We’d already experienced a century of loss of knowledge. Basic things like animal husbandry, growing crops, mining, smelting, forging…programming. all the things that used to be done by brute human strength or knowledge were now done by computers and AI. But profit was king, out with the old knowledge, in with the new lack of it.
So when the calamity finally happened, nobody was left with any of the knowledge to rebuild.
Breaking News: making robots do stuff for you destroys your ability to do stuff.
I think in five years — if the tools manage to stick around — finding coders that can work without AI assistance will be like finding skilled assembler developers.
The next question is, who is going to be looking for them?
Most of Africa, from what I heard from African developers.
There are still large patches where the internet has outages often, data centers there too suffer from it. Same with energy, depending on the region it is not a guarantee.
(This is of course a consequence of Africa still transforming and putting up infrastructure, and it varies vastly depending on the region).
It's hard to code with remote LLMs if they can go dark for half a day, and it is pricey to have it running on a local stack (at good token output speed).
Sweet. I'm set for life, and I'll get to be one of those devs that tells the bosses what I've decided to work on.
Or a life of fixing AI slop the AI sloppers generate but can't fix.
And how much you’ve decided to work for.
It's a good thing AI doesn't rely on competent people for training its input and double-checking its output, because otherwise this would be very bad news.
Hell, even before AI there were signs. Half the mechanics in our shop can't diagnose shit unless there's an error code shown when they plug in the computer.
I googled the error code and it says you might have "network connectivity issues"
I can't figure out what's wrong. Every time I print a document, it says it prints, but I just get out a piece of white paper. It was getting lighter and lighter and lighter, and now it's just gone entirely.
Lol
Ah, no, see if you demonstrate any capacity for troubleshooting printers you fail the intelligence test.
As an IT guy, I can confirm, it's a trap.
It's No Child Left Behind from Lil Bush...
They just stopped teaching critical thinking and empathy decades ago. People in their 30s and under were never taught critical thinking.
Even with video games, they grew up where a 5 second pause meant googling a walkthrough video. The Water Temple would have broken them.
Can confirm, water temple broke me
Ha, jokes on you. I never had the skills to ruin. Now I can make my messes bigger.
