It's terrible, but not far removed from what's been already happening with "developers" copying and pasting StackOverflow comments into a text editor and making uninformed compiler-error-guided-edits until it runs then done!
The root of the problem here is people making production stuff who don't know wtf they're doing. If they turn to SO posts, LLMs, or "developers" on fiverr/upwork doing the same thing, is there really much of a difference? LLMs seem to mostly be tightening the loop of horror that's already been happening.
Same downward trajectory, increased velocity.
- libraryatnight 3y agoJust seems like programming will be joining the ranks of most tools. There will always be craftsmen, there will always be professionals, and then there will be the guy bolting together ice chests and garbage disposals to make margarita mixers on his patio or the kid with a duct tape exhaust rig on his Honda Civic. I guess, to your point, it's only trouble if the margarita mixer guy is put in charge of something that matters? :D (might be a bad example, I've known some fine engineers and mechanics that are absolutely margarita mixer guy, but hopefully my point is taken lol)
- pixl97 3y ago>Just seems like programming will be joining I'd love to know about the nirvana you've been in up till now, because working around code from numerous large companies the vast majority of it is the crappest ass crap straight from the crapper with no redeeming qualities, and it has been this way forever. I'm not saying their isn't good parts, there are general core routines that sheer need for them to be performant and non-data corrupting forced some Sr engineer to fix them.
