Here's another spin on this:
Imagine you're a software developer. In the near future, your manager wants a feature implemented in your company's app. He throws together a short mail with requirements and sends it to the prompt engineering department.
The prompt engineers fix a few typos, clean up the grammar and pepper a few secret sauce keywords around like "in the style of firefox", "in the style of kde". This get thrown into Microsoft Copilot 3.0 that barfs out a bunch of code.
Copilot's code has inconsistent indentation, three different method naming conventions and some variables named in a foreign language. It runs, but crashes if you tap on the lower left corner of the screen and allows you to drag the order quantity below 0. But that's ok, it's why we employ software engineers like you in our company. You will use your years of coding experience to touch up AI code to perfection. Better get the details just right until Monday all-hands!
Still looking forward to it?
- xwdv 4y agosounds to me like I still get paid handsomely
- chihuahua 4y agoThat sounds better than my current job where I try to clean up other people's shitty code with atrocious dynamic typing, until the type checker is happy with it.
- PoignardAzur 4y agoHonestly, kind of yeah. Something I've come to realise is that I'm much better at fixing other people's code than coding from scratch. I could definitely work with that kind of tool.
